Changes

'''Douglas Adams''' was the author of [[The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy]], which went straight to number one on the UK bestseller list. ''The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy'' was followed by ''The Restaurant at the End of the Universe'', ''Life, The Universe, and Everything'', ''So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish'', and ''Mostly Harmless''. He has also written two books about a figure named Dirk Gently; ''Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency'' and ''Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul''. In 1990, Adams traveled around the world with zoologist Mark Carwardine to write ''Last Chance to See'', a book about endangered species and the people who work to help them. At the time of his death Adams was working on his eighth novel ''The Salmon of Doubt,'' which in its incomplete published form centers again on Dirk Gently, although Adams had spoken about the possibility of changing it to another Hitchhiker novel.
