Summary: HARRY HARRISON LOSES FACE
Review: Harry, how could you! After creating the inimitable Stainless Steel Rat, you put in in a STUPID non-existent storyline! You send Slippery Jim back and forth in time aimlessly, the archvillain is titled "HE" (was that name the best you could do?), and then the end is not the least satisfactory. Harry, the absurd point of the story was to make sure the Stainless Steel Rat could not be around to be a father to his twins. What a disappointment when the best part of the story is the brief repartee between Slippery Jim and his boss, Inskipp. I know you can do better, Harry, because you have in your other books. Readers, if you like the Rat, skip this one.

Summary: Wow! Talk about mixed reviews!
Review: I first learned of the Stainless Steel Rat over thirty years ago. I had no idea this book was one of many.Over thirty years later, I've started buying (and reading) the other books (and Esperanto books). Folks, this book may have had holes in the plot, but for me to remember it for thirty years and then start buying the rest of the series, it simply couldn't have been that bad. Gee, maybe it's very good!

Summary: One of my FAVORITES
Review: Man, Harry Harrison's good at this stuff. This is one of my favorite Rat books. It's got a good storyline and a good (bad?) enemy, which every book needs in my humble opinion.
