HW novel

[Michael Habiby]

Here Here Tim!

I loved them. So tongue in cheek.  I say Time is a must for any fan of sci
fi or Hawkwind

You know, I disagree. When they first came out I enjoyed them a lot, but
even at age 13 I had the nagging feeling that they weren't exactly 'serious
literature'. Re-reading them (at least the seond one) at age 36 I loved it.
It's a supremely ridiculous book, and if you lose all concerns about whether
it's 'good literature', it's just great fun. How can you not like a story
where the bad guys are harley-riding cops, straight out of 'Electra-Glide in
Blue', who shoot innocent civilians with guns that play Elton John songs? I
had a ball re-reading it. I remember the first one as being better at the
time, and I haven;t read the third.
