Product Description

Product Description

Slippery Jim diGriz, alias the Stainless Steel Rat, the galaxy's greatest thief and con artist, returns in his most devilish caper yet.
DiGriz is strenuously fighting boredom on a ritzy pleasure planet when his beloved wife disappears while vising the Temple of Eternal Truth, an enigmatic institution that promises its patrons a sneak peek at Heaven--for a price.
Determined to get his wife back, diGriz takes on the Temple. He thinks he's ready for anything, but he never expects to find himself banished to Hell, complete with pointy-tailed devils. Has Divine judgement caught up with the Rat at last?
Of course not.

I've been a fan of Slippery Jim since "2000AD" first serialised in comic strip form "The Stainless Steel Rat".

But this latest effort is well below par, and is in many ways a rehash of "...saves the world" with it's multiple universes and flitting backwards and forwards in pursuit of a egomaniac. The humour sadly is stretched beyond breaking point, the whole story is very formulaic.

Disappointing.

With "Sings the Blues", Harrison lost the Rat-plot, but "Goes to Hell" shows that he is, albeit unevenly, getting back on track. His bludgeoning bias that all religious belief is mere wishful thinking gets tedious, not to mention somewhat mysoginistic (the dupes are all wealthy women - read vain and gullible), besides theologically inaccurate to boot, but just as it gets dangerously annoying the plot reinvigorates and, with tongue firmly back in cheek, the Rat continues on his mission to save his psychopathic spouse in the manner we know and love. Let's hope his renewed form continues in The Stainless Steel Rat Joins the Circus.

Painfully Mediocre 29 May 2002
By jrmspnc - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
There is very little in the world worse than watching a favorite author write well below his potential. The four previous Stainless Steel Rat books I had read were all full of acerbic wit, tight action, and amazing (yet credible) escapes. This one is lacking in nearly every category. With every page, I was desperately hoping that Harrison would break out and regain his form. Alas, it was not to be.

The tanking of the series 23 Jun 2002
By dfkap - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is what I consider the terminal end to the series. I've been a die-hard fan of Slippery Jim for around... two decades (and I'm only 26). This book, however, is a phenominal whiffle of bunk. I can't believe that the series has become this corny. It's terribly insulting that Mr. Harrison would do this to one of my most beloved literary memories. Not that I want to give away any spoilers, but I have one word for those of us that have already read the book... SAUSAGES!
So lets say that you don't believe me. Just have a look at the cover. That pretty much sums up the feel of this book. Corny. It made me irate for days.
I'd still like to recommend the first 7-8 books in the series to you folks, though.

It wasn't the best Stainless Steel Rat book I've read, but it was still pretty damn good!
