    YOU HAVE TO LOVE THE RAT!  The three novels here are pure Harrison.
  

*by D***P on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2011*

If you are a Rat fan, then this is sort of a must read.  If you have never read of the Rat, then you are missing out on a lot of fun reading and this is a good place to start.A Stainless Steel Trio is actually three novels and each of the three are prequels to the first book in the series, The Stainless Steel Rat.  The three novels here are:
  
A Stainless Steel Rat is Born







  
  
    
  
The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted







  
  
    
  
The Stainless Steel Rat Sings the Blues







  
  
    Harrison has taken the hero of eight previous novels, Jim diGriz, aka Slippery or Slick Jim, and has added some background to how he became the master criminal of the galaxy and why he is so prone to thumb his nose at all authority and refuses to follow the "rules."These three novels should be read in sequential order to fully appreciate them, but it is not absolutely necessary.  The other eight novels in the series, after the first, can be read in any order you chose.These novels, like most in the series are more or less character driven with Slippery Jim being the primary source.  Many who read these three and the others, will be strongly reminded of Harrisons Death World Series...three outstanding reads.Slippery Jim, The Stainless Steel Rat is funny, quite introspective and has a complete set of rules and morels which are completely his own.  Even though he breaks every law in the known universe (Except killing) his ethics and morals are actually much higher and more demanding than the rest of the human (and some not so human) species.I have been a Rat Fan since Harry Harrison published his first work (which was actually a short story featuring Slick Jim) and continue to be so to this date.The work being reviewed here is a Kindle down load and it came through in pretty good shape.  There was, as is often the case, a bit of a problem here and there with the punctuation and the sentences were broken in odd places at times but this was not bad enough to distract from the work all that much.These books are simply fun to read.  The author does not take himself all that serious and the main character in the book certainly does not either.  Much fun is poked at just about everything and some of the situation Jim finds himself in, unlikely though they may be, are quite unique and interesting.Don BlankenshipThe Ozarks

    Above average prequel
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2019*

Prequels and sequels are often inferior to the original.  That goes here but only a little inferior and thus pretty damn good.  If you already know the SS Rat that’s all you need to know.  If not - no spoilers just be advised it’s fun.I don’t know if Harrison intended these times to be satire but if so that’s too bad.  If it’s satire it is way too coarse and heavy handed.  To work as intended a certain amount of subtlety is required and you won’t find any thing subtle here.  If it were satire I would be thoroughly annoyed but it is not.  Instead it is farce and hilarious farce at that.  Harrison’s books are a clown car stuffed with farcical characters and scenes.  I for one enjoy a good farce.

    Limted / Dated / Enjoyable
  

*by E***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 31, 2014*

Now I understand what the term "Old School" means and why it matters. Harry Harrison wrote for /to a generation before mine his works helped paved the way and laid the foundation for the "SY-FY" of today. While he is a gifted contemporary of Asimov / Sturegeon etc. I find his style [much] more humorous (without being trivial)  yet still thought provoking.His (anti-) hero Jim DiGriz  acts with more honor than many of those on the right side of the law (IMO meaning  accepted convention followers bowing to those in power) the stories are fast paced but not to an overwhelming rate. One advantage of the somewhat dated settings is that technology does not override the human factor. The universe he creates rings true even in light of the advancements (?) the world has made since his heyday.The effort put into detailing his background is not over done it unfolds naturally and it is interesting to see how he matures.I highly recommend this author.
