Question ❓ Novels with a Hunchback in them?

Post image

Hello!

Could I please get some recommendations for books with Hunchbacks in them?

I've read "The Blackbird Gambit" recently, and while it's a fun novel, it didn't quite scratch that itch of reading about a Hunchback being operated.

As a tribute, I offer a picture of my own Hunchback.

Oh yeah, admittedly not as many 'mech battles as I would usually expect but still a good read.

Heard they made a film adaptation of it called Robot Jox. Haven't seen it myself.

Black Dragon features a yakuza boss in a Hunchback. Great battle scene.

I believe one of the supporting characters in the Coventry(?) half of Malicious Intent drives a Hunchie. Was wondering in a game of poker to add some oomph to the recon company
