utter randomonium

Hal Spacejock by Simon Haynes: The incompetent-but-lucky man with his capable-but-frequently-eyerolling companion who repeatedly (and thanklessly) saves his butt seems to be a staple in humorous science fiction. Hal Spacejock and his robot sidekick, Clunk, are no exception. I won’t say that this story has anything new and novel to offer, but it sure is a good time. I especially enjoyed the random side scenes, like Hal’s altercation with a stubborn automatic door. If you like outlandish SF like Red Dwarf and the Stainless Steel Rat, check out Hal Spacejock.
