Harry Harrison
November 15, 2010
Kindle Book. This is part of my nostalgia and desire for pure escapism. I have read these novels in the past, but remember very little of them. Harrison has a nicely cynical, all of knowledge wrapped up in his neat explanations. It was appealing to an adolescent to read someone so sure of his philosophy. I am no longer sure of mine. Deathworld features the humans adapated to the animals adapted to killing them, and the realization that the fear and hate caused the evolution of the terrible monsters of the Deathworld. In Deathworld 2, the protagonist of the first book is captured by a fundamentalist, and Harrison has great fun showing how absolute morality leads to hideously stupid outcomes. The short stories include the first story of Jim DiGriz, the Stainless Steel Rat, finding and swindling a battleship. Entertaining, but on occasion too preachy. ( )
