Resumen del Editor

Hank is getting married!

The space station Belvaille has become home to a species of actors. The newest edition to the Post Colmarian Confederation are the Damakan race. As a species they are capable of “broadcast empathy”. Their acting skills are so powerful they are able to make people believe their portrayals are literally happening - even over remote transmission.

Belvaille, with its access to powerful radio telescopes, becomes an entertainment powerhouse, cranking out Damakan dramas and tragedies across the empire. As the city modifies is resources to accommodate the new cash cow, Hank is hired to protect important actors by the city’s premier talent agent: his butler Cliston. But the good times don’t last as Damakans start getting murdered and whole productions are sabotaged and even outright attacked.

The navy threatens to get involved as their favorite tele programs are interrupted and Garm, the Adjunct Over-watch of the city, enlists Hank to find the source of the violence and put an end to it. Hank fears his own betrothed is in danger as the city gets dragged into a gang war of which no one knows the cause.

Another Winner

I’m not sure why, but Hank’s escapades continue to amuse and pique my curiosity regarding what living on an isolated space station could possibly expose him to. And this is one of the better stories. “Fat Mutant Hank” is oddly one of the most emotionally deep characters in literature, and his reactions to his world and interactions with his entourage make me smile (and occasionally laugh) while demonstrating just how human he actually is.
And Liam Owen’s voice characterizations continue to be amazing.

funny and amazing

only book series i lol at multiple times throughout... one of the best series ive read. if you love fiction this is for you 👍👍👍

Another Fantastic Book

Steven's done it again! I loved this book, I laughed a lot and generally had a big smile the whole time.

Liam did an amazing job as always, but I was confused about one character's voice that kept changing... wierd

yes please

this is another Hank book with all the things we love about this series.
there isn't much to say other than that...
both Campbell and Owen delivers yet another wonderful experience just like all the others in the series...

Just OK.

I was a little disappointed with the way character voices were changed mid-story. Suddenly a wimpy, odd-faced kid is an Irish pub-keep. Some action sequences went on for far to long. I felt like I was being dragged through the writer's writing block with him as he struggled to make it to the ending. Although, this was the first one that had an "ending" which was an interesting twist.

I Need More!

This series never fails to entertain!

This book is just as good and even better in some cases then the rest. The story, the narration and the overall character development is on point.

Almost gave up on the series, but glad I didn't

Hard Luck Hank has been a guilty pleasure for me since joining Audible, but the writing and story has been waning the last few books. I almost skipped this book, but so glad I didn't It's definitely the best book in the series. I feel like Steven Campbell spent a lot more time perfecting the story and just not leaning on easy jokes stuck to a loose plot.

Liam Owen is amazing as always. I'd love to see an animated series of Hard Luck Hank where Owen does all the voices. His comedy timing with Campbell's jokes are just perfect.

Hilarious!

If you enjoy this series, then you'll enjoy this just as much.

Between the writing and the voice acting, I found I was laughing out loud more than I have in awhile. It may be because it's been awhile since I listened to a Hard Luck Hank book, but I found this one to be the funniest.

The story was on par with the other Hard Luck Hank books. The strengths lie in the characters and their interactions. As well as the voice acting. Liam Owen kills it again. I got lost with the various characters and almost forgot this was done by a single VA.

Overall I would recommend this book to those who enjoy the series.

love me some hard luck hank!

I love this series. I wish one of the networks would pick it up for an animated series. It doesn't matter which book you start with, they're all good.

I miss this book

I love this book he's one of my first books I've ever bought in Audible I bought them all enjoyed every single one I would recommend it to anybody.
