review 1: Harrison does a good job of incorporating the sci-fi elements of his world slowly enough for me to stay on top of it. His anti-hero, Jim di Griz, is an amoral private detective-type, especially his interior monologue of a voice. He prides himself on being smarter than anyone else, but he gets caught and is pretty much forced to 'go straight.' And that is when his troubles begin.I really liked Jim...His internal battle of having to be forced to be the good guy, when deep down, he is a thief and a cheat and a liar...and he likes it that way.The book I listened to was called THE STAINLESS STEEL RAT, but the synopsis for that book didn't match...I'm very confused about what's going on...The book ends with a funny twist that makes me want more.
review 2: Great elabo... moreration scifi adventure novel. It's short, but delightful .......a science fiction at its best. Admiral diGriz was suspecting the Cittanuvo, the second planet of B star were secretly building a battleship. As a planetary police he has to investigate a two questionable suspect who engineered the scheme. An inspired master criminal Pepe who's apparently has an ability of bribing a bloated- bureaucrat with his female assistant Angelina.Meanwhile, Captain Inskipp and Admiral diGriz has to find a way to capture these culprit who just murdered eighteen space police, while trying to stop them from getting away to another planet. less
