I've just read something on another thread which mentioned that an author is to be commissioned to continue Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series of books. If it's done well, it will be brilliant, if not, it will flop so I suppose one can't complain.
It did however get me thinking that the same could happen with other authors, particularly Tolkein as he has sketched out material which would fill many volumes if given a treatment in LOTR detail. That would probably be a project for his son to "research" the histories and then a suitably gifted writer to tell the stories in the familiar vein. Could it be a goer?
