What They're Saying

Critics Review

Truly breathtaking

Fast-moving and very funny. - Evening Standard

The Monty Python of the spaceways. - Daily Telegraph

Truly breathtaking. - Times Literary Supplement

Endlessly inventive and studded end to end with laugh-out-loud hilarity. What Terry Pratchett has done for fantasy, Harry Harrison did resoundingly for SF. His Stainless Steel Rat storms the barricades of po-faced Golden Age SF with laughing gas grenades and rams an explosive charge right up its complacent rock-ribbed arse. - Richard Morgan
