An incompetent, accident-prone pilot is given one last chance to save his ship. An ageing robot is trusted with a midnight landing in a deserted field. And a desperate businessman is prepared to sacrifice both of them to get what he wants... Combining relentless action with non-stop laughs, Hal Spacejock explodes onto the science fiction scene with the subtlety of a meteor strike and the hushed reverence of a used car salesman.

'You can be Clyde, and he can be Albion.' 'I think that's Bonnie,' said the shorter robot, in a deep voice. Hal looked pleased. 'I'm glad you like it. My name's Hal, by the way. Hal Spacejock.'

Paperback

The West Australian
The quirkiest genre satire to hit bookshelves since Terry Pratchett's Discworld

Tom Holt
Fast, funny, quirky, enthralling comedy adventure; not just a genre parody but a well-made story in its own right, told with a light, deft touch. Hal's battle of wills with the uppity airlock is a special joy.

Scifantastic
Entertaining and easy to read . . . Hapless and hopeless Spacejock is a likeable character: laid back, easy going and chasing a life less complex than the one he finds himself trapped in . . . The humour gave me a belly laugh at least once per chapter and tickled my ribs just about every page.
