(Wired) - Douglas Adams created the Improbability Drive on
the Heart of Gold for a reason, to make the improbable,
probable. In reading "And Another Thing�" by Eoin Colfer,
the 6th book in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy
- Amazon.com: http://xrl.us/AndAnother -, that�s what you
have to remember. Everything that is happening is highly
improbable, which is why it�s completely probable and to
that end - believable. I mean, as far as a fictional
universe goes. Or multiple fictional universes..

The Guardian: "Within pages, it's clear this is a triumph. Colfer has
pulled off the near-impossible. It's faithful to Adams's humour and,
more important, it's also got his rhythm, the cadences and the
footfalls that made his style so often (badly) imitated."
