About this listen
This time the Special Corps has given the Rat a daring assignment: liberate a backward tourist planet from the clutches of an aging dictator. With his lovely but lethal wife, Angelina, and his two stalwart sons, James and Bolivar, diGriz pits ballots against bullets in the fight for freedom. He's vowed to restore truth, justice, and democracy to the world of Paraiso-Aqui, even if he has to lie, cheat, and steal to do it!

Never fails to deliver. A rollicking good story.
Never fails to deliver. A rollicking good story. Twists and turns aplenty.
More moral law breaking and illicit fun and games.

My favourite Rat book, and with good reason
This is my favourite Rat book, and Gigante's reading is as usual just right - expressing the Rat just as it should be done. Only written 4 years after 'Wants you', but by then in the eighties, it has a much more 'modern' tone and style, so it holds up better than some of the older books.
The plot romps along with little to hold it back, and Gigante portrays the entire diGriz family as enthusiastic felons who are essentially having a family holiday. You would need to have read the previous books in order for this to make sense, but that's generally true of any book in a series.

LONG LIVE 2000AD.
As I listened, I felt in my minds eye, Every Bit of the THRILL POWER from when I first read the chronicles of The Stainless Rats 44 years ago in the comic 2000AD...
ALL HAIL THARG the MIGHTY...
