Publisher's Synopsis
Hal Spacejock Omnibus Three contains three full-length novels plus a bonus novella.
Here's what you get: Big Bang (Hal Spacejock Book 7) A house clearance job sounds like easy money, but rising floodwaters, an unstable landscape and a surprise find are going to make life very difficult for Hal and Clunk. Double Trouble (Hal Spacejock Book 8) Hal Spacejock lands on planet Alteia, where he's so distracted by his own problems that he forgets to collect Clunk from the luggage rack. Not to worry, because a couple of old friends free Clunk from the spaceport ... only to reveal a great big ulterior motive: they want him to join their gang group. Meanwhile, Hal's remembered his trusty co-pilot at last ... but only because everyone's trying to kill him, and Clunk is big and metal and bulletproof-ish. Max Damage (Hal Spacejock Book 9) Hal and Clunk answer a distress call, and they discover a fellow pilot stranded deep inside an asteroid field. Clunk is busy at the controls, dodging incoming rocks, so Hal dons a spacesuit, takes the jetbike and sets off on a heroic rescue mission. If he'd only known the trouble he was getting himself into, he wouldn't have bothered... Albion (A Hal Spacejock novella) Hal takes an odd call from a team of scientists, and minutes later he and Clunk are boarding a shuttle for the nearby orbiter. Turns out the scientists need some vital information, and only Hal can help. Before long he's embroiled in a new adventure, and this one's really dangerous. About the Hal Spacejock series Set in the distant future, where humanity spans the galaxy and robots are second-class citizens, the Hal Spacejock series will strike a chord with fans of Red Dwarf and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, while forging its own off-beat path through the cosmos. There are currently nine novels in the Hal Spacejock series, as well as the Harriet Walsh and Hal Junior spin-offs (three novels each.) Clunk the robot also features in Simon's brand new fantasy series, beginning with A Portion of Dragon and Chips. Omnibus One and Omnibus Two, containing Hal Spacejock books 1-6, are also available. Reviews "Riddled with slapstick humour and glib one-liners" - Courier Mail "Anyone who has ever had a frustrating run-in with a computer, or had to suffer bureaucratic thuggery, or who just wants a great story that will keep you smiling, this book is for you." - /dev/random "A well-constructed tale with plenty of twists and turns and a good few laughs." amazon review "All of the Hal Spacejock books are brilliant. Well written and easy to read with excellent story lines." amazon review.
