About the Book
Omnibus edition.
They're Baaaack!
When a human thinks he's Napoleon Bonaparte, it's time to get out a
straitjacket. But when a Hoka thinks he's Napoleon Bonaparte, you'd
better believe it! Particularly since there'll be hundreds of other
Hokas around who know for a fact that they're the French army, man
amis, even if they're on another planet light years away from Earth,
and the forces they're facing aren't the British but very nasty warlike
aliens who by all reason should be expected to make mincemeat out of
the Hokas.
But when it comes to Hokas, reason does not compute.
These friendly, fuzzy aliens who resemble large Teddy bears have a very
vivid imagination and have never quite grasped the difference between
human fiction and reality, or (in the present case), between past
history and the much later and rather different present. Always bet on
the Hokas. Even when a young lad and his Hoka tutor find themselves
stuck on a planet where they seem to be scheduled to fulfill an ancient
(and lethal) prophecy that neither of them had ever heard of until now,
Hokas as usual find that reality is merely optional and the good guys –
and bears – always win, quicker than you can say Hokas Pokas!
