I found this book very strange but good. It followed the adventures of Hal Spacejock and Clunk the Robot as they try to deliver a cargo for a crooked businessman and avoid a loan shark and the businessman's arch rival's brother who wants whatever is in the cargo that Hal was carrying. It was pretty funny in parts and very action packed. I will read again and I will read the other books in the series.
