Synopsis

In "The Stainless Steel Rat," Harry Harrison presents a masterful blend of science fiction and satirical humor, painting a vivid portrait of a future rife with both technological advancement and moral ambiguity. The novel follows the exploits of James Bolivar diGriz, a cunning rogue and skilled con artist, who navigates a galaxy filled with diverse civilizations and outlandish experiences. Harrison employs a lively, conversational narrative style, drawing readers into a fast-paced adventure that critiques the nature of crime, freedom, and societal norms within the framework of speculative fiction. Harrison, an influential figure in the science fiction genre, drew upon his own experiences and insights into societal systems while crafting "The Stainless Steel Rat." His background in both creative writing and illustration, coupled with a keen understanding of political themes, shaped this work as a commentary on the human condition and the paradoxes of progress. Harrison's wit and creativity reflect his views on the potential for both good and evil within the diametrically opposed forces of technology and society. This novel is highly recommended for readers seeking a thrilling and thought-provoking exploration of morality wrapped in an entertaining sci-fi narrative. Harrison's unique perspective and deft storytelling will appeal to fans of both adventure and social commentary, making "The Stainless Steel Rat" a must-read for those ready to embark on a rollicking journey through the absurdities of the universe.

    Working in industry as a Chemical Engineer boring ... who says it is? Most people consider working in the Industrial world to be fairly mundane and boring. Well I am able to contradict that erroneous belief. My forty years in industry have been far from ordinary and unexciting. In fact those years have been so eventful and exhilarating, I felt compelled to put events, incidents and a plethora of eclectic, fascinating characters into print and write about my career as a Chemical Engineer from the late sixties to the beginning of the eighties. While I typed away, it occurred to me, these stories are so way out, fantastic and implausible, no-one will believe a word of it. Using that old cliché, fact is often stranger than fiction. Read more and make your own mind up, as it is indeed Life?s Rich Mix.

    The holiday classic has never been quite this fabulous! It's now the gayest Christmas story ever told. This modern gay adaptation of A Christmas Carol is filled with humor, dirty double entendres, and just the right amount of "Bah, humpstud!" 
    This irreverent parody starts off with miserly Ebeneezer Scrooge refusing to let his underpaid, under-appreciated employee Bob Cratchit turn up the heat in the drafty office on Christmas Eve, pointing out that there are other ways for Bob to keep warm and keep his job at the same time! The fun continues from there with new twists on all your favorite classic characters and situations. Enjoy an all gay cast of characters along with the familiar structure, lines of classic dialogue, and the overall story of redemption you remember from the original.
