A rip roaring whimsical action sci-fi
From the golden age of sci-fi. Replete with political incorrectness and archaic values from that time. it's one of the few laugh out loud SciFi's where the tech is almost irrelevant and the guile of the protagonist delightfully unapologetic.

Annoyingly sexist elements ruin otherwise fun time
Very hard to grit your teeth past them but if you can swallow it then the Rat is really fun and P Giante's reading is really excellent.

Great hard boiled detective story that happens to be in a sci-fi framework
A very smart, sassy (futuristic sci-fi) take on the great cynical gumshoe stories of old… (Chandler, Hammett, etc.)
Great tour de force narrator’s performance by Phil Gigante, too!
