Harry Harrison

Our reviews of Harry Harrison's work

The takes

What we have said about Harry Harrison

  • Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison 1966 review. The 1966 Hugo-nominated overpopulation novel that became the 1973 film Soylent Green, and is meaningfully better than the film remembers.

  • 50 in 50 by Harry Harrison 2001 review. A career-spanning fifty-story Harrison collection, one story per year, that doubles as the best single overview of his short fiction.

  • An omnibus of three Harry Harrison Stainless Steel Rat novels. Comic SF heist work from one of the form's most reliable comic voices.

  • Vendetta for the Saint by Harry Harrison: a 1965 Saint continuation novel review. Harrison ghosting Leslie Charteris on a Mafia plot. Pulpy, propulsive, of its decade.
