"I read it at a sitting and couldn't put it down." - Tom Holt Hal Spacejock Omnibus One contains three full-length novels plus a bonus short story. Here's what you get: A Robot Named Clunk (Hal Spacejock Book 1) Clunk, a clapped-out robot, is convinced he's about to be junked. Instead, his penny-pinching boss is sending him off to be refurbished. Being old and wise, Clunk knows there's a catch, but at first it doesn't seem too bad. He just has to help a freelancer pick up some cargo. Unfortunately, Hal Spacejock - the freelancer - is obstinate, over-confident, and woefully under-skilled, and he's never going to let a lowly robot fly his precious ship. Is there any chance this pair of misfits can lift off, collect the cargo and deliver it in one piece? Or will they fly straight into the nearest star, still bickering and fighting over the controls? Second Course (Hal Spacejock Book 2) Hal Spacejock's cargo business is going so well he's considering getting into passengers ... especially the beautiful and mysterious Sonya Polarov. Clunk's certain she's up to something, but as usual Hal won't listen to a word he says ... Meanwhile, Rex Curtis runs the galaxy's biggest freight company, and he's sick of independent pilots stealing his cargo jobs. He's determined to make a statement by destroying the biggest nuisance of them all: Hal Spacejock. Just Desserts (Hal Spacejock Book 3) Hal's new-fangled, bargain-bin stasis generator has just failed, exactly as Clunk predicted, and now their valuable cargo of fresh food is in danger of rotting away. They leave their ship and head off to find replacement parts, which is a real shame, because a secret agent wants Hal's ship for an urgent mission ... with or without his permission. Visit (A Hal Spacejock short story) Hal returns from a shopping trip and finds Clunk in a right old state. Break out the crayons and colouring sheets ... they're booked in for a school visit! 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.

How far would you go to make your dreams come true? On Hal Spacejock's home planet, efficient and highly intelligent robots have taken all the jobs. Hal's one of the lucky ones, because he works as a cargo loader at a third-rate spaceport. Lucky perhaps, but not satisfied. Because instead of loading freighters, Hal wants to fly them, exploring the galaxy in his very own ship. But how can he possibly save for a spaceship? Hal can barely make rent, and his boss will use any excuse to get rid of him. It all seems like an impossible dream, until Hal intervenes in a one-sided fight in the shadow of a battered old freighter... Zero is a standalone novel in the Hal Spacejock series.
Billy Crump is the local stable boy. Fed up with mucking out horses, he sneaks into the wizard's lab and concocts a potion using rare and expensive ingredients. The result? A talking book! His first thought? Sell the book ... and wave goodbye to horse muck forever!
In Thonn's world, Magick has been banned by politicians: corrupt, twisted and evil ... and the Magick wasn't much of a boon either. So, imagine Thonn's surprise when he spies Eddie de Elder attempting Magick spells on the sly! Of course, Magick can't be handled by just anyone, but Thonn is a simple farm boy, and as we all know, they're the ones with the hidden talents ... A humorous fantasy story featuring forbidden magic.
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. Set in the distant future, where humanity spans the galaxy and robots are second-class citizens, Big Bang is the seventh novel in the Hal Spacejock series. Book eight, Double Trouble, is now available. Hal Spacejock novels are self-contained, with a beginning, a middle and a proper ending. They're not sequels, they don't end on a cliffhanger, and you could start or end your journey with any book in the series. (Some events from earlier books are referenced in later ones, so it makes sense to read them in order, but it's not essential.) These comedy scifi novels are perfect for fans of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Doctor Who, Space Team, Space Police, and Red Dwarf. keywords: scifi teens
