Kangazang! by Terry Cooper - Screaming Dreams

Kangazang! by Terry Cooper

When life's problems get you down, a good way to escape the troubles is to take a holiday. The further away, the better. Troubled Earthman and Kebab-lover Jeff Spooner is having a bad time. Fortunately, help and hope comes in the guise of Ray, Jeff's eccentric but likeable barber. A man with a plan. A man hard to understand. A man from Kangazang! Together, this unlikely pair of heroes set off to see the sights, find a decent pub, and more importantly, save the entire universe in a spacecraft made of human hair.

Extract

Jeff climbed up into the spacecraft. He looked around and was pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't as cramped, or as hairy - or indeed as smelly - as he thought it might be. In fact, the subtle aroma of hair conditioning products was more like a built-in air-freshener. After all, it wouldn't do to be traversing immense galactic distances inside an armpit.

He found a place to dump his rucksack, between some of Ray's boxes, and went up front to the cockpit area. He took a seat next to the pilot's chair. It was a converted barber's chair, naturally, and as it had been recently outfitted with seat belts and a number of control panels, it really looked the part. Jeff secretly hoped that he wasn't left alone to pilot the thing at any point in the near future.
