Hal Spacejock is an obstinate, over-confident, and woefully under-skilled cargo pilot. Clunk is a clapped-out, long-suffering robot who just wants to survive his next assignment. Together, they are the galaxy's most disastrous duo.
This value-packed box set includes three full-length novels plus a bonus short story:
Book 1: A Robot Named Clunk — Hal and Clunk team up for a routine cargo run that quickly devolves into bickering, near-misses, and orbital chaos. Can two misfits work together long enough to deliver the cargo in one piece?
Book 2: Second Course — Hal lands a mysterious passenger, ignores Clunk’s warnings, and accidentally crosses the galaxy’s biggest shipping tycoon—who’s determined to destroy Hal once and for all.
Book 3: Just Desserts — A cheap stasis generator fails, a cargo of fresh food starts rotting, and a secret agent decides to steal Hal’s ship for an urgent mission. What could go wrong?
Bonus Story: Visit — Hal returns from a shopping run to find Clunk in a panic. Break out the crayons—they've been booked for a school visit!

Simon Haynes lives in Western Australia, where he divides his time between herding deadly spiders, dodging drop bears, and making up wildly inaccurate sentences like this one.
By day he's an author. By night he's also an author.
He loves wry, dry humour, and his hobbies include daringly inserting the letter U into words where -- in some parts of the world at least -- this simply isn't the done thing.
As for his genre-spanning novels, they include epic fantasy (with robots), scifi comedy (also with robots), middle grade humour (featuring robots AND the wanton use of the letter U), as well as a series of historical mystery novels set in 1870's London. (No, of course there aren't robots in those. He's not completely out of his mind.)
When he's not writing Simon is usually renovating his house, sim-racing online, using twitter (@spacejock), gardening, tweaking his book covers, pondering the meaning of the universe and reading, and if you think it's easy doing all that at the same time you should see what he can do with a mug of coffee, a banana and a large bag of salt.
When he's not making outlandish claims he likes to count how many novels he's written, and how many genres he's written them in. (Lots and too many.)
