The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Hexagonal Phase
by Eoin Colfer; adapted by Dirk Maggs (BBC, 2018)
Colfer’s contribution to Hitchhiker’s probably works better in adaptation—as a continuation of the seminal radio series—than as a novel. Forty years on, the original actors have returned to their recording booths and sound ever-young, still invested in Adams’ cosmic zaniness.
