Crossposted at Bookstooge.booklikes.blogspot.wordpress.com by express permission of this reviewer Synopsis 2 short stories and one novella about the Hokas. My Thoughts The 2 short stories were mailed in and the novella was barely about the Hokas at all. There was ONE, yes count'em, one, Hoka and he was a side character. This was a huge disappointment after how funny the previous book was. It was like the magic from before had completely dried up and the authors were desperately trying to revive it. Makes you sad, really. Rating: 2 of 5 Stars Author: Poul Anderson & Gordon Dickson " ( ) Sample Chapters: http://webscriptions.net/chapters/0671578588/0671578588.htm sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Two Legends of SF Team Up! Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson present the Hokas, teddy-bear-like aliens who take the stories of Earth very seriously, in this classic of humorous SF. When a human thinks he's Napoleon Bonaparte, it's time to get out a straightjacket. 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, mon amis, even if they're on another planet lightyears 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 and ancient (and lethal!) prophesy 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!
