The Stainless Steel Rat Returns by Harry Harrison
3.0
Listened to this, narrated by Phil Gigante, from Audible. Gigante is marvellous!
The story in this book was a bit disappointing disappointing but the style makes up for it. The book reminded me of Gulliver's Travels as Jim and his crew roam around the galaxy on a fool's errand, running into trouble at every turn. Jim seems old, mellowed, and not much like his younger self except in his outrageous arrogance. It was a fun visit with an old friend who has turned into a kinder, gentler, slightly tired, version of himself. I don't think this would be a great place to start your visits with Slippery Jim but I imagine long-time fans (especially those who have grown up with him) would enjoy it, especially with Gigante's over the top delivery, and great voices.
