    The Salmon of Doubt is the title of the unfinished third Dirk Gently novel or the Sixth Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy novel depending on who you talk to and when you talk to them. It is also the title of a curated collection of writings published after the death of Douglas Adams. The aforementioned Salmon of Doubt is contained in this volume. We will not be discussing it. We are going to talk about most everything else in the book except it. But do not fear. We will circle back to it in a few episodes.
