Meanwhile, on Gloth…
"This hilarious sequel to "February the Fifth" shows Derek Haines at his absolute best."
"It's a mad world on Gloth as experienced through the eyes of Halbert Hoop, Hal to the reader."
Millions of years before February The Fifth, Gloth was making a nice little profit from the planet Erde, with the help of some cunning Popes and the very, very secret Camera Stellata, sometimes better known as the Star Chamber.
Being disowned by his father and booted out of his family manor in England, then transported off to the distant sun drenched shores of Australia didn’t sound like such a bad punishment for Hal. All things considered. Sydney however, didn’t prove to be his cup of tea, but a quick move to Brisbane leads Hal to a wonderful new life full of friends, back yards, barbeques, beer, surfing, The Breakfast Creek Hotel and Narelle.
The idyllic life.
For a short time unfortunately as so often happens, just when you think things are beautifully perfect, someone or something comes along to throw a spanner in the works. In Hal’s case, his idyllic life gets hit my a number of airborne wrenches. Then when he thinks things are are about as bad as they can get, they of course get a whole lot worse.
Afflicted by an allergic reaction to dust and scary things, Hal does a lot of sneezing as he goes about trying to make the whole lot worse a whole lot better.
Read The Adventures of Hal, a laugh a minute romp around the galaxy.
Editorial Review
"It's a mad world on Gloth as experienced through the eyes of Halbert Hoop, Hal to the reader. Hal is a well-developed character who gets himself into unusual and kooky situations. It's great fun for the reader to share Hal's strategies in unraveling and solving these situations.
Hal's adventures arriving and living on Gloth are unpredictable and fun to read. The characters he meets are as unique as the menu items he consumed in order to survive. Hal's quest to return to Erde, better known as Earth is driven by . . .
There is no way I will spoil the story, the unpredictability is the best part of the book!"
The Book Reviewer.
The Four Glothic Tales
February The Fifth

Septimity and the Blood Brotherhood

The four Glothic Tales are stand-alone stories, so don't panic if you mess up with your arithmetic and read them in the wrong order, as all sense of time and logical sequence has been meticulously warped - for your reading convenience.
