I haven't read it yet, but I'm looking askance at Variable Star, by Spider Robinson and "Robert A. Heinlein," actually written by Robinson, based on a partial draft by Heinlein. I admit I'll be starting it with a certain amount of bias.

I read Variable Star and really liked it. I haven't read a lot of Heinlein yet, but you can definitely tell the difference in writing style.
Also, I did really enjoy the Dune prequels by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. So while I am somewhat disappointed that it isn't Douglas Adams, it may still turn out to be a good book. However, I do demand good humor on the scale of the rest of the series. And let's face it, HHG doesn't have a consistent canon in the way that Star Wars or LOTR does.
