Hard Luck Hank: False Profit

Hard Luck Hank #11

by Steven Campbell

The economy has taken a turn for the worse and Hank is working as a part-time gravedigger (and more than part-time graverobber). Despite being an expert shoveler, it’s not his top career choice, and he’s anxious to take any "legitimate" criminal work that comes along.

In that vein, he finds himself hired by a mysterious woman who wants him to recover an even more mysterious trunk that was stolen from her mansion. He’s also tasked by the new Adjunct Overwatch to find out who has been tampering with the Upper City. Hank struggles against competitive rivals, government red tape, serial killers, and his ever-present grumbling stomach.

All of this takes place with the backdrop of the Thad Elon Festival. It was put on as a means to drum up tourism revenue for the city. But there’s a concern that the destructive demigod in question might show up in person to take part in the celebration.

Hank delivers again

Mr. Campbell never fails to turn out a good read. He know how to hook a reader and keep them turning the page.

What a brilliant series of books , definately different to your normal scifi . I hope there is some more in the pipeline ?

[Thomas Dyke · Rating 5 out of 5]

This gets 5 stars simply because it is the only series in the last ten years I have listened to twice.

Another great Hank book!

If you read the series, this is a continuation of previous books, but like the others, the ultimate plot is pushed a little further along. I hope Steven Campbell takes his time and pumps out a ton more of these before wrapping it up!

Best Hank

Best Hank since the first one, imho. Well written, funnier’n all get-out, and Thad Elon. Zo’s character gets, uh, fleshed out. Just fun. Read this!

The audio production was pretty bad. And the story seemed like it dragged on. Both of these problems dropped my rating by a star.

Great series

I hope Mr. Campbell is well, and selfishly hopes he can wrap the series. If not still worth reading, buy the books.

Great timing for some much-needed laughter. Man, these covers are awful though.

Not as good as some past Hank books, but I still laughed out loud quite a bit.

"HEY! Do you have any sisters that are less manipulative and haughty?" 😂

Perfect narration

I was really bummed that this book didn't stand up to the others. It lacked the fun and characteristic humor it normally carries. I always lol, but the introduction of new characters fell flat.

@audible The folks in editing should be ashamed to publish a book with that many errors. Did you check their work at all?
