Last Chance to See: in the Footsteps of Douglas Adams
by Mark Carwardine (HarperCollins, 2009)
This richly poignant, fabulously Adamsey rare species travelogue rather belies the assumption that Carwardine was a literary passenger on the original Last Chance to See, merely there to undercoat the book with dry facts prior to Adams layering on the funny bits.
Doctor Who: City of Death
by Douglas Adams & James Goss (BBC Books, 2015)
Like Douglas Adams’ script before it, this posthumous collaboration appears to have been written somewhat hastily; while it does capture (and at times build upon) the splendour of the 1979 serial, this isn’t quite the much-pined-for novelisation that Gareth Roberts’ Shada was.
The Frood: The Authorised and Very Official History of Douglas Adams & The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
by Jem Roberts (Preface Publishing, 2014)
