The Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge by Harry Harrison
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Light, shameless fun that's one part newlywed with babies, three parts spy/military invasion, and six parts Stainless Steel Rat, pulling hijinx and heist out of his hat.

Of course, being a thief doesn't mean one is always thinking about stealing stuff. Revenge and saving the galaxy from an intergalactic invasion can have its perks, too.

I admire this particular novel for the time it was written, almost ten years after the first, in the height of the Vietnam War.

I'm just saying. The military-industrial engine needed a little taking down by a snarky little anarchist-turned-government man. ;)
