          I never see the early morning posts from 6000 miles away and 8 hours further ahead in time. Nothing outside of my time zone counts. :-)

            It's not like the story has been abused. I'm sure the benefit to those who had not seen the original post is greater than the harm to those who had seen it, read the topic and moved along?

                The Stainless Steel Rat series was one of my favorites growing up. Harrison was a terrific writer. This is a sad day.

                  Yeah, I found out about Jim DiGriz and the gang maybe 30 (?) years ago. Really enjoyed those books. This is too bad.

                    He even invented a new past in the Eden series. Unfortunately, his version of the future that will probably come to pass is not the Stainless Steel Rat, but Make Room, Make Room.

                      :( I loved the Stainless Steel Rat books as a kid. I am still waiting for my .75 cal handgun.
