Trick question? If the first three books are a trilogy, isn't the fourth book the start of the second trilogy?

@PeterShor - It might be, or, as with So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish, it might simply be the fourth book of the trilogy.

Are you asking what the fourth book in a series is called or what a four book complete set is called? The third book itself is not a trilogy. The third volume in a series of three four, whatever, is called 'the third volume'. A sequence of three books all together is a called a trilogy. Whatever things about '4' are called I'll leave that to real answers, but does that clear up things in your question?

Unless you're talking about the set of books starting with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, in which case it's a six-book trilogy.

The set may be referred to as a tetralogy, quartet, or quadrilogy, but the question is about the fourth item in the set. But then again, "If the third is a trilogy" isn't clear to me.
