The Stainless Steel Rat Sings the Blues by Harry Harrison
1.0
This is the third prequel to the original book, and was quite disappointing. The good points are the setup (Jim DiGriz forms a musical group to infiltrate a prison planet) and how quick it is to read.
The prison planet itself contains a multitude of societies, each less believable than the one before. One of these is clearly Harrison's clumsy commentary on Robert Bly's [b:Iron John: A Book About Men|122600|Iron John A Book About Men|Robert Bly|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1348052112s/122600.jpg|604566].
Having now read all three sequels, I would recommend stopping after the first one.
