And Another Thing... is the sixth novel in the increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. Eight years after the death of its creator, Douglas Adams, widow Jane Belson sanctioned the project to be written by the international number-one bestselling children's writer Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl novels. Belson said of Eoin Colfer, "I love his books and could not think of a better person to transport Arthur, Zaphod, and Marvin to pastures new." Colfer, a fan of Hitchhiker since his school days, said, "Being given the chance to write this book is like suddenly being offered the superpower of your choice. For years I have been finishing this incredible story in my head and now I have the opportunity to do it in the real world." Prepare to be amazed...

High-concept fantasy novels combining folklore with modern technology earned global acclaim through the Artemis Fowl series, which sold over 21 million copies worldwide and was translated into 44 languages. Irish author Eoin Colfer (pronounced "Owen") established himself in children's and young adult literature by blending fast-paced adventure, sharp humor, and inventive world-building.
Born on May 14, 1965, in Wexford, Ireland, Colfer grew up as the second of five boys in a family deeply connected to the arts; his father Billy was an elementary school teacher, historian, and artist, while his mother was a drama teacher. He first developed an interest in writing during primary school, crafting Viking stories inspired by his history lessons. After earning his degree from Dublin University, he pursued teaching and worked as a primary school teacher. Between 1992 and 1996, Colfer and his wife spent four years working abroad in Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and Europe. His background in education and international living shaped his early storytelling before he became a full-time writer following the massive success of Artemis Fowl.
Colfer's writing is characterized by quick-witted dialogue, tech-savvy twists on traditional Irish folklore, and clever subversions of traditional hero archetypes. His narratives frequently feature morally complex prodigies, subterranean fairy civilizations, and high-tech covert operations. Beyond his original fiction, Colfer has brought his signature comedic timing and energetic pacing to established legacy properties, including writing And Another Thing..., an official continuation of Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, as well as projects for Marvel Comics.
