They didn't mention "the stainless steel rat" series I guess cause that was later and way more commercial or something. Has anybody else read anything by Harry Harrison? |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 12,2011 1:33pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] I dig what I've read. It's pretty much Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser in space, works for me. |
