Review
'Fast-moving and very funny' (Evening Standard )

'The Monty Python of the spaceways' (Daily Telegraph )

'Truly breathtaking' (Times Literary Supplement )

'Endlessly inventive and studded end to end with laugh-out-loud hilarity. What Terry Pratchett has done for fantasy, Harry Harrison did resoundingly for SF. His Stainless Steel Rat storms the barricades of po-faced Golden Age SF with laughing gas grenades and rams an explosive charge right up its complacent rock-ribbed arse.' (Richard Morgan )
