Product Description

Jim and Angelina are on holiday on the paradise planet Lussuoso, where the very, very rich can avail themselves of rejuvenating treatments and become young again. Just when boredom seems about to set in, Jim learns that Angelina has disappeared, seemingly the victim of a religious scam. Evil genius Justin Slakey has a machine that allows him to travel between universes. He uses it to prey on religious believers, tricking them out of their money and then using them as slaves in his coal mines. Aided by his twin sons, James and Bolivar, Slippery Jim descends to a planet that seems to be a real-life version of Hell - and when you can't take metal weapons between the universes, what do you arm yourselves with? Salami, of course.

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!
