STARWORLD

After centuries of tyranny, Earth's far-flung star colonies have risen in rebellion and broken the chains of their oppression. But Earth itself remains an armed camp where millions suffer and freedom is forgotten. Exiled rebel leader Jan Kulozik, returning to his homeworld as a prisoner, escapes to join forces with the leaders of the underground resistance. From the ghettos of 23rd-century America to the free state of Israel, to a ragged rebel battlefleet in space, Jan rekindles the fires of revolt to lead the people of Earth toward the promise of liberty.

- Theodore Sturgeon, The Twilight Zone Magazine

"A new Harry Harrison trilogy is news; a great new Harry Harrison trilogy is worth its weight in gold."
- C.J. Henderson, Questar

A past president of the World Science Fiction Writers' Association, Mr. Harrison was born in Connecticut and has lived in various European countries over the years. A recipient of numerous awards and honors, his Stainless Steel Rat books are as well known as they are humorous.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
