The Stainless Steel Rat Wants You

by Harry Harrison Narrated by Phil Gigante

Overview

After saving the world, diGriz is called on to save the universe. Liberating his two, now teenage, twin' sons from a military boarding school and penitentiary, diGriz sets out to free his wife, who has been arrested by the tax men. But the family is soon fighting an enemy of a different sort, when the humans-only galaxy of the League is invaded by all manner of hideous aliens. The Rat, disguised in the most hideous combination of alien physical features, is sent into the centre of the aliens' stronghold, where he finds himself the object of desire among the aliens. His task is to stop the aliens, who plan to wipe out every human in the universe.

Editorial Reviews

MAY 2011 - AudioFile

Slippery Jim DiGriz has just saved the world from a time-traveling madman. Now his vacation is interrupted by aliens abducting his wife, so he breaks his sons out of their scholastic Bastille and gives chase. Phil Gigante, having entirely too much fun, gives a deep, confident voice to a character who is supremely capable and always planning in the midst of mayhem. The book is peppered with dialogue that lacks identifying names, but each voice is individually distinguished. The aliens appear only briefly in a larger story, but they dominate the production. Gigante rasps and growls, effortlessly switching between narrative and bombastic inhuman gargling. The two main female characters sound similar, but they have too little “ear time ” for confusion to set in. A.Z.W. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
