The Time of the Hawklords

So it turns out there's a 'Britain is Fucked' novel about Hawkwind tonning around in a van fighting ghosts and squares with guns that shoot their music AND that happens to feature Moorcock as a tertiary character with a saucy house computer.

Entropic State Report 24th January 2024

Holy moly, November is almost out of time and we still have so much to do this year! Unfortunately, we won't get it all done, but I do want to pass my thanks to two chaps who have been incredibly patient and understanding with delays and rescheduling. First, Simon Perrins.
