Locked On! The Seventh & Most Illegal in The Hitchhiker's Guide Trilogy
Author(s): Marty Branagan
Ever wondered what it's like to feel so strongly about an issue that you'll go to jail for it? This novel, based on real-life environmental blockades but set within a humorous sci-fi universe, is a journey to the centre of nonviolent civil disobedience by an author who has been there repeatedly over decades. In a hilarious romp through the universe we meet eco-pirates, space heroines, Indigenous people and farmers united against corporate greed, corrupt governments and environmental destruction. With our world plagued by wars and global warming, its insights into the possibilities of nonviolence action bring hope and inspiration. With incisive social/political commentary, witty dialogue and some laugh-out-loud moments, it's ultimately a love story: love for each other, for place and for doing what you believe in. It's been described as 'a masterpiece', 'a clever critique of contemporary issues', 'terrific stuff' and 'very very funny'. So stick out
