Synopsis:

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.

Book Excerpt:

Hal glanced round at the fugitives, then jerked his thumb at the taller, bronze robot. '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.'
