The Salmon of Doubt

€œA fitting eulogy to the master of wacky words and even wackier tales . . . Salmon leaves no doubt as to Adams€s lasting legacy.€€"Entertainment Weekly

With an introduction to the introduction by Terry Jones

Douglas Adams changed the face of science fiction with his cosmically comic novel The Hitchhiker€s Guide to the Galaxy and its classic sequels. Sadly for his countless admirers, he hitched his own ride to the great beyond much too soon. Culled posthumously from Adams€s fleet of beloved Macintosh computers, this selection of essays, articles, anecdotes, and stories offers a fascinating and intimate portrait of the multifaceted artist and absurdist wordsmith.

Join Adams on an excursion to climb Kilimanjaro . . . dressed in a rhino costume; peek into the private life of Genghis Khan€"warrior and world-class neurotic; root for the harried author€s efforts to get a Hitchhiker movie off the ground in Hollywood; thrill to the further exploits of private eye Dirk Gently and two-headed alien Zaphod Beeblebrox. Though Douglas Adams is gone, he€s left us something very special to remember him by. Without a doubt.

€œWorth reading and even cherishing, if only because it€s the last we€ll hear from the master of comic science fiction.€€"The Star-Ledger
