Hi everyone
This is my first post

This is for a Free Ebook by Australian author Simon Haynes
It has been released as a free download to celebrate the release of his 4th book in the series.

This is book called Hal Spacejock
It is Sci-Fi humour at it best.
Similar to Red Dwarf and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy with the satire of Terry Pratchett.

The download is a zipped file containing 3 different formats (.rft - .html - .txt)

It's so funny I've bought all 4 books and getting them sent to the UK from Oz

    Odd Man Out

    I had an email from a US high school teacher this morning, who was just checking whether the Hal Spacejock ebook was a temporary thing, or whether it would be available permanently. Reason being, she'd added Hal to her list of recommended summer ebooks for the students, and she didn't want it vanishing before they could get to it.

    The ebook should be permanent, barring multi-million dollar offers from overseas publishers, so I reassured her on that point. However, what made me laugh was the composition of the list (all freely available ebooks, remember). Talk about being the odd man out ...


    A Double Barrelled Detective Story by Mark Twain
    Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
    Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
    Emma by Jane Austen
    Hal Spacejock by Simon Haynes


    I wish my school teachers had been that cool.


    (EDIT: The Hal ebook makes no concessions to US readers, by the way. It's "as published in Australia" with British/Australian spelling, colloquialisms, lifts, boots, colours, pavements and all.)
