A review by wyrmbergmalcolm
The Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge by Harry Harrison
4.0
This enjoyable infiltration and sabotage story of one man against an entire world is very reminiscent of Eric Frank Russell’s Wasp. It has a nice satirical look at the military and warmongery in general. Jim’s new wife Angelina features a little in this one, but mainly is just Jim.
The only negative about this book, and the series as a whole, is the James Bond level of survivability of the titular character. Yes, he finds himself in bleak situations but you know he’s always going to get out of them somehow. Sometimes though, it’s nice to just read an enjoyable romp without any stress.
