Hal Spacejock 2: Second Course
A beautiful and mysterious female passenger, a loony inventor with a basement full of deadly weapons, and a dangerous run-down teleporter built by a long-lost alien civilisation.
Join the incompetent Hal and his long-suffering metal sidekick Clunk for a second serve of interplanetary chaos stuffed with more laughs than a cracker factory and more action than a politician’s expense account.
‘The quirkiest genre satire to hit booksellers since Terry Pratchett’s Discworld’ — The West Australian.
“… a refreshing change from the post-cyberpunk trying-to-be-cool futures we get so often in SF these days. [...]Haynes is a skillful writer, but he never forgets that he is writing to entertain. Descriptive scenes are particularly well done, conjuring just enough detail to keep the reader ‘in the loop,’ but not so much as to bog the story down. In short, Haynes knows what he’s doing.” Guy Salvidge
