Hoka! Hoka! Hoka! by Poul AndersonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
From Goodreads: One Hoka is a threat to human sanity. Two Hokas are a menace to civilization. And three Hokas . . . Heaven help the galaxy, in this hilarious science fiction adventure from two of the best writers in the genre.
Not much to comment on this one. A purely campy book in which small teddy bear-like creatures completely emulate whatever they happened to recently read or see in a movie. Earth has assigned Alexsander Jones as plenipotentary of the planet Toka, an overseer of sorts to the Hoka. The book is comprised of novelettes following Alexander Jones adventures: Western, Space Patrol, Pirates, French Legionnaire, to name a few. This is not a book to be taken seriously. A good book for traveling or waiting around for appointments - you can pick it up and put it down without too much thought.
Recommended if you like a little scifi fluff, skip it if you can name the monster in episode #33 of Star Trek.
