Author(s): Douglas Adams

Fiction

Introduced by Stephen Fry, <i>The Salmon of Doubt</i> comprises ten chapters of the novel on which Douglas Adams was working at the time of his death in May 2001, along with an astonishing collection of pieces recovered from his beloved Macintosh computer.

This collection is the unique last word from one of the world's most successful and best loved science fiction writers and represents an important, fascinating and characteristically hilarious legacy. For fans and new readers alike, The Salmon of Doubt is the ultimate smorgasbord of the insanities, urbanities and wondrous workings of life, the universe and everything.

<i>"You are on the verge of entering the wise, provoking, benevolent, hilarious and addictive world of Douglas Adams. The bottom drawer of recently deceased writers is often best left firmly locked and bolted: in the case of Douglas, the nested subfolders of his hard drive have been triumphantly well worth the prising open. His natural ability to put one word after another in the service of awakening, delighting, bamboozling, informing or amusing the mind of his reader never fails" - <b>Stephen Fry.</b>
