Things aren't going well for Slippery Jim diGriz. First there was the robbery of the Mint on Paskönjak that went terribly wrong, and then that little matter of a death penalty, and an extremely unpleasant execution after that. And last but not least, there's the deal Slippery Jim cuts with the authorities, which, on reflection, doesn't look much better than slow death.

In exchange for his life, Slippery Jim must retrieve a missing alien artifact from the planet Liokukae - a dumping ground for the Galactic League's misfits, murderers, maniacs, and the incurably obnoxious. Under cover as the leader of the rock band The Stainless Steel Rats, Slippery Jim violates every law of the land - including the musical ones. He has 30 days to bring back the artifact... or the slow-acting poison the League has fed him will kick in, and Slippery Jim diGriz will be history.

I read these first well over 40 years ago. When I saw them on Audible, I couldn't wait to try them again. Not ususlly something Id buy at my age but am very glad I did. Pure escapism and rattling good yarns!

An amazing job by the narrator, this series is absolutely brought to life by his ability to make each line pop. and the series itself is one that is a *must read*.

A classic

I have been reading Harry Harrison for 2 decades now. I truly enjoy whatever story I read, the writing always matches the pace of my reading. The audio book matches my reading tempo and the flair added by Phil Gigante reading the book and singing the songs adds great depth!

I love Harry Harrison!

My favorite part of this audible was hearing Phil sing, a man of many talents.

I was torn. I love the rat and want more stories, but the author seems to have hit the wall at this point. This one was ok at best and if you aren't a big fan you might not want to spend a cresit on this one.

Time to stop.

I am a big fan of The Rat. it is nice to follow the main character into different worlds in which he has to learn and think himself out of trouble.
This story is more of a mystery than an action adventure. I like the variety of environments that the author adds to each of the books. Some would prefer action/adventure for these books, but I am impressed with the creativity in the variety that the author has chosen for this character.

Full of twists and turns.

Absolutely terrible accents a single characters changing from Mexican to Swedish in the same sentence. The scenes have less details in them that the pop-up bubbles in a graphic novel. I couldn't get through more than 10 minutes. Good luck trying to listen this one
