Hard Luck Hank: Suck My Cosmos

By: Steven Campbell

Narrated by: Liam Owen

Life is tough on space station Belvaille - not for the aristocratic nobles that call it home, but for the poor slobs like Hank.

Hank is considered a celebrated cutthroat and the oldest living person in the city. His occupation is to be hired muscle for those people who don't want to get their hands dirty but still want dirty things done. He possesses a mutation that allows him to be bulletproof and weigh thousands of pounds, two helpful traits in his line of work.

When the wife a city councilman approaches him about spying on her husband, Hank worries he's flying too close to the flames for safety. When the husband is assassinated, he's sure of it.

Hank has to keep himself from getting framed for the murder while he finds himself increasingly manipulated by powerful people as the machinations of the city council start to spill into his daily life.

Note: This is a sequel to Hard Luck Hank: Screw the Galaxy, Hard Luck Hank: Basketful of Crap, and Hard Luck Hank: Prince of Suck.

Syfy funny smart

a total must-read. smart even if our hero is not laugh out loud funny at almost every turn intelligent in writing and form and I love how in every book bellvale changes but Hank Never does. and seriously some of the best narration in the business.

Funny, awesome narrator!

Hank Rocks! Dalova is an great character. The whole series is consistently good. looking forward to the rest of books.

Hank is Back Again, with problems and adventures

Hank once again is struggling with events and society that has changed. Like a rock in a stream, he isn't easily moved in his ways...and eventually alters the course of the stream itself.

I especially enjoy the scenes with Delovoa. and the arguing, cutting remarks and grudging camaraderie between Hank and the oddly brilliant and eccentric scientist.

As always a seemingly chaotic jumble of plot elements assault Hank as he tries to both survive and help ensure Belvaille also doesn't go down in flames.

Marvelously haphazard.

This is the single most believable science fiction book I have ever read, for one reason: no one, absolutely no one, has any idea what the hell is going on. The universe ups the ante on Hank in this one, and it's a toss-up which of them is going to cause more damage before it's all over. Hilarious, satisfying, and surprisingly well thought through, Campbell could clearly be writing harder stuff-- but lucky for us, he's not. Likewise, Owen could be performing a wider range of material, but clearly-- VERY clearly-- still enjoys getting his ham on as Hank, Delovoa, and a host of equally weird misfits and overfits. Kudos to both of them.

Great Fun

Loved it just enough humor to keep you laughing and enough crazy violence to keep you waiting to see what Hank will do. The Performer was great Loved wish there were more where is Steven and Liam we need more si-fi just doesn't have enough of this easy fun laugh out loud books
