Harry Harrison

Assembled here are 13 of Harrison's best, spanning time and space from the England of old to empires millennia from now. Among the stories included are "The Golden Years of the Stainless Steel Rat," in which the cops have finally caught up with an aging Slippery Jim diGriz; "Roomates," the original basis for the movie Soylent Green; and twelve more galaxy-spanning classics!

From the bestselling West of Eden trilogy to Bill, The Galactic Hero and its sequels, from the Deathworldseries to the Stainless Steel Ratbooks, Harry Harrison's career is a series of landmarks. Stainless Steel Visionsis another: his first major collection of short fiction.
