Hal Spacejock 05 Baker's Dough

Hal Spacejock 05 Baker's Dough

Book five in the Hal Spacejock series
See Hal 1, Hal 2, Hal 3, Hal 4, Hal 5, Shorts


A broken-down fugitive with nothing to lose, an arms dealer hiding a deadly secret and an elderly robot set to inherit a vast fortune ... it all adds up to a typical cargo job for freighter pilot Hal Spacejock and his offsider, Clunk.

Baker's Dough features intense rivalry, sublime double-crosses and more greed than a free buffet.


Hal Spacejock 05 Baker's Dough will be published Jan/Feb 2012 in Kindle and Smashwords editions.
Worldwide paperback release to follow.

Frequently Asked Questions (Updated October 2011)



It's a long time since Hal Spacejock No Free Lunch. What's happening?
In 2010 I got distracted writing the first book in my new Hal Junior science fiction series. Now that The Secret Signal has been released I'm working on Hal 5 again.

I thought you were going to call this book 'Legacy'?
No, that was a provisional title. It's really called Baker's Dough because I'd like to make some bread out of it.

What are you going to do after Hal 5?
Hal Junior 2: The Missing Case is nearly ready (est. release April/May 2012) and Hal Spacejock 6: Safe Art will be next. (Estimated release July 2012)
I want to write Hal 7, 8, 9 ... all the way through 20 (they're already plotted and/or begun).
