A Stainless Steel Trio by Harry Harrison
Long Live the Rat!
When Kingsley Amis read the first Stainless Steel Rat novel he said, 'Well, Harry, you have written the first picaresque science fiction novel.' I nodded sagaciously-and at the first opportunity rushed to my dictionary. Picaresque 1. of or relating to a type of fiction in which the hero, a rogue, goes through a series of episodic adventures. Well, that is a fair enough description. My hero is alone against the universe, with every man's hand-if not every woman's-turned against him. He is without the law, verily a law unto himself, with a strict sense of morality. Aren't the two mutually incompatible? No, as you will soon discover. -Harry Harrison, from the Introduction Cheerfully larcenous and anarchic. Long may the Rat run roughshod over the forces of law, order, and the square world. -The Orlando Sentinel Harrison's fictions constitute one of the main monuments in modern SF. -Paul Di Filippo, Scifi.com, on 50 in 50| SKU | Unavailable |
