Harry Harrison

Acclaimed science fiction writer Harry Harrison was born in Stamford, Connecticut, in 1925. After serving in the military as a gunnery instructor during World War II, he attended art school and spent years working as an artist and illustrator in New York City. When he began his writing career, he found he needed a change of scenery and moved to Mexico with his wife and child. Harrison's propensity for itinerancy took the family to England, Italy, and Denmark, among other places. During the course of his writing career he published over forty novels, including the West of Eden trilogy, the popular Stainless Steel Rat series, Make Room! Make Room! and the graphic novel Death World. His novels have been translated into over twenty five languages. In 1973 he was honored with the Nebula Award. Harry Harrison lives in Ireland.

The Stainless Steel Rat

If you haven't met James Bolivar, you should.  These books are a great, fast read, like a B-SiFi flick. A chuckle and a half, guaranteed.

King and Emperor
Gary Ruddell

One King's Way (1996)
A sequel to 'The Hammer and the Cross' which continues the story of Shef Sigvarthsson, god-chosen warrior and mystic. It is AD 867, and from the Vikings of the North Sea to the scheming priests of Germany, from the frozen north to the Finnish tundra, Shef fights his way towards kingship.
King and Emperor (1997)
Shef Sigvarthsson has turned England and the Northlands into a great empire. But despite the help from King Arthur, the Norse priests of the Asgarth Way, and others (including his father, the Aesir god Rig), he remained the One King. Without him the empire would crumble.

West of Eden
About 65 million years ago, it is supposed that dinosaurs disappeared from Earth. But what if they didn't?
Winter in Eden
The dinosaurs continue to challenge humans for mastery of Earth in this follow-up to 'West of Eden'. Only now, a new Ice Age is on its way and the dinosaurs are facing extinction. They need to reconquer human territory. Kerrick, a hunter, launches a quest to rally a final defence for humankind.
Return to Eden
After Kerrick rescues his people from the war-like Yilane, they find a safe haven on an island and there begin to rebuild their shattered lives. But with fierce predators stalking the forests, how long can these unarmed human outcasts hope to survive? And, of course, Kerrick cannot forget Vainte, his implacable Yilane enemy. She's been cast out from her kind, under sentence of death, but how long will her banishment last? For her strange attraction to Kerrick has turned into a hatred even more powerful than her instincts - an obsession that compels her to hunt down Kerrick and kill him.

Stars and Stripes in Peril
This title follows a what if path of the British Empire pitted against her American colonies. The second title in the trilogy, only a brilliant plan by General Robert E. Lee enables the USA to attack the British forces where they least expect it and broaden the war for independence.
Stars and Stripes Triumphant
This alternate-history story describes the war that never was: the 1860s war between the USA and the British Empire. This episode, the third in the trilogy, focuses on the events that occur when the Irish become involved, and the culmination of the ill-fated war.
