Hokas Pokas!
Omnibus edition.
They're Baaaack!
When a human thinks he's Napoleon Bonaparte, it's time to get out a
straitjacket. 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, man
amis, even if they're on another planet light years 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 an ancient
(and lethal) prophecy 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!

Poul Anderson
Poul Anderson's name is synonymous with the golden age of science fiction, a master of speculative worlds where the future is as vast and varied as the past. Born in 1926 in the United States, Anderson's journey as an author was shaped by his fascination with history, science, and the unknown. A child of the Great Depression, he was drawn to stories that stretched the boundaries of possibility, whether set in the stars or rooted in the depths of myth. Over the course of his career, Anderson built a reputation for crafting intricate narratives that blend hard science fiction with the richness of historical and fantasy elements, making him one of the genre's most respected voices.
