Jacket Blurb:
Hype - 'And now, for all you speeding street smarties out there, the one you've all been waiting for, the one that'll pierce your laid-back ears, decoke your sinuses, cut clean thru the schlock-rock, MOR/crossover, techno-flash mind mush. It's the new Number One with a bullet ... with a bullet ... It's Tom, Supernova, Mahler with a pan-galactic biggie ...' And the Hype goes on. And on. Hype, an amphetamine-hit of a story by Hawkwind collaborator Robert Calvert. Who's been there and made it back again. The debriefing session starts here.
Note: Calvert released a tie-in album, Hype - the songs of Tom Mahler, in 1982.
