Informationen zum Autor Harry Harrison (1925-2012) Harry Harrison was born Henry Maxwell Dempsey in Connecticut, in 1925. He was the author of a number of much-loved series including the Stainless Steel Rat and Bill the Galactic Hero sequences and the Deathworld Trilogy. He was known as a passionate advocate of Esperanto, the most popular of the constructed international languages, which appears in many of his novels. He published novels for over half a century and was perhaps best known for his seminal novel of overpopulation, Make Room! Make Room!, which was adapted into the cult film Soylent Green . Klappentext After more than a decade, the return of one of the most enduring series characters in modern SF James Bolivar 'Slippery Jim' DiGriz - Special Corps agent, master con man and interstellar criminal (retired) - is living the high life when a long-lost cousin and a shipful of swine arrive to drain his bank account and send him and his wife wandering the stars on the wildest journey since Gulliver's Travels . In this darkly satiric work, Harry Harrison brings his most famous character out of retirement for a grand tour of the galaxy. The Stainless Steel Rat rides again: a cocktail in his hand, a smile on his lips, and larceny in his heart, in search of adventure, gravitons, and a way to get rid of the pigs. 'The Rat can hold his head high amongst the most elevated superhero company - Bulldog Drummond, James Bond, and Flash Gordon included' Times Literary Supplement 978 0 575 10104 3 £7.99 The world's favourite conman is back - in a brand-new adventure!
