Nobody on the planet has the wherewithal to finish a book by Douglas Adams. DNA was unique in a BIG way. A true genius. Terry Pratchett could take a swing at it, but to try and finish a book "in the way Douglas Adams wrote it" would be like trying to finish a work by Shakespeare. It is the bad joke told by a part-time comedian on stage which earns him death by deafening silence.
I will buy the book to at least have those parts written by the man himself. If parts are added by another author I will tolerate them because I know that they were only added to complete the story out of respect for the work of DNA.
I don't expect to pay more than 5 million Altarian Dollars for it, though.
