Hal needs replacement parts before the cargo rots, and he's forced to abandon his precious ship at the spaceport to go looking for them.
Which is a pity, because a secret agent has just decided Hal's ship will be ideal for her mission ... with or without his permission.
Can Hal find the new parts and return before it's too late, or will he lose his ship, his cargo and his livelihood ... again?
Set in the distant future, where humanity spans the galaxy and robots are second-class citizens, Just Desserts is the third novel in the Hal Spacejock series.
Simon Haynes is the british-born, australian author of the Hal Spacejock, Harriet Walsh, Robot vs Dragons and Hal Junior series, as well as a number of short stories. His work typically features an underdog fighting for survival against far stronger opponents.
