| The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted |
 ISBN: 9994607332 LibraryThing | This book is another Stainless Steel Rat prequel, although it was written well after the original book. This book takes up from where A Stainless Steel Rat is Born ends -- with Jim arrested (of course), on a surprisingly low tech planet. Jim must then escape, and make his way in the universe once more. He has some unfinished business with some previous acquaintances if he finds a way as well...
Harrison's writing is very easy to read, especially because his science fiction books always seem to require a good dose of suspension of disbelief, although some need more disbelief than others, so I read this book as a break from my quite a lot of Asimov. The book is 300 pages, but I managed to knock it over in a day, which I guess means I found it engaging. I liked this book. Its silly, and I'm not a better person for having read it, but it was entertaining. Tags for this post: book(  ) Harry_Harrison( ) |
