A terrific adventure!

Harry Harrison is a childhood favorite of mine, and I have always enjoyed the escapism of the Stainless Steel Rat stories. This is among the better ones. The reader also did a good job.

Over the top SciFi Crime romp

What made the experience of listening to The Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge the most enjoyable?

The reader took great pains to put 'umph' into the story as he read - solid expression, tone inflection, etc. The story is a bit predictable, with enough change ups here and there to keep you going. I read this when I was a teenager, years ago, and have intro'd it to my own teenager who is very much enjoying both the stories and the reading style.

What other book might you compare The Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge to and why?

Reminds me of Heinlein's lighter "teenage boy" SF - closest to Moon is a Harsh Mistress, in the sense that this book brings in some political and social issues as it tells the story.

Any additional comments?

Don't take the SSR novels to seriously - I don't think they are intended to be serious novels, rather light hearted easy read romps, light space opera fare, not very complex. Explosions, fun language, and over the top scenes and characters abound.

Too Much Set Up

The last book was fast paced and full of content, but this one consisted of Jim hiding in a desert for 3/4 of the book.

teen years favorite

well preformed, delivers the funny, cockey attitude of Slippery Jim. A fun adventure with a great character.
