I was surprised to find how well this book stands up after all these year. I hadnt read Harry Harrison before so i didnt expect it to be this good.
It was raw quality with fun adventure, great satirical humour,ingenious plot twists. Good action too. The ideal fun space adventure i was looking for.

Slippery Jim himself is an awesome character to read and memorable. His strong first person narrative carried the book very well. Every thought,word from him was interesting. He made me smile by the kind of twisted criminal he was,just who he was.

It's a great book, and there are many awesome entries in the series. I rarely regret any amount of time I spend with the Stainless Steel Rat.


Mohammed  Abdikhader  Firdhiye It wasnt only a very good read i was impressed that Harrison had such smooth,good prose. It made the first person narrative a better read.

Yeah i have heard good things about the sequels and the second book's synopsis sound interesting. I was afraid that Jim would be stuck working for the cops.

Its the free spirit outlaw you like.
