    The Stainless Steel Rat Joins the Circus -- chapter 21

    He was a good and experienced climber. I would have stopped for breath by this time. He just went at it hand over hand at a steady pace. Reached the junction of the four legs. That should be it. But no, he went on until he appeared to be as high as the cables pendant from their immense insulators. Then he stopped. A dark smudge against the bright metal of the tower.
    And seemed to remain there for an awfully long time.
    I don’t know much clock time passed before he started back down. Subjective time seemed to last and last. And then I could see that he was moving back down, surely and steadily. He jumped the last few meters, smiling and wiping the grit from his hands.
    “A piece of cake. Timed to blow in two hours.”
    “We’ll have a front seat for the show.”
    “We will indeed.”

    ...

    “Just about time-” Bolivar said when the ball of flame flared out. Changed to dark billows of smoke.
    For long moments nothing happened. The copter bumped a bit when the sound of the explosion reached us.
    “Now,” Bolivar said.
    And it was going. The top of the tower was bending, falling almost gracefully. Then the giant insulators began to turn and twist, the immense cables stirring and writhing. Falling.
    I could see lightning spear out as the falling cables broke, twisting as though in pain. Twisted and fell, faster and faster, followed by the ruined tower. Splashing down into the sea in great furrows of waves that stretched across the width of the channel.

    #HarryHarrison #StainlessSteelRatVisions

    [extract]

    He had just reached the fringes of the village clearing when the rumbling grew to a head-splitting roar and the spacer broke through the low-hanging layer of clouds above. Garth shielded his eyes from the down-reaching tongue of flame and examined the growing form of the gray-black ship with mixed feelings.

    "You better go ahead, Itin, " he said. "Use the water so you can get to the village quickly. Tell everyone to get back into the swamps, well clear of the hard ground. That ship is landing on instruments and anyone underneath at touchdown is going to be cooked. "

    The ship baked dry a hundred square meters of mud, the roaring blast died, and the landing feet crunched down through the crackling crust. Metal creaked and settled into place while the cloud of smoke and steam slowly drifted lower in the humid air.

    ... a figure stepped out ...

    The Stainless Steel Rat Wants You (SSR4)

    chap 7

    An improbable parade of slithering, hopping and crawling figures slopped up when we appeared through the lock, the Bolivar-robot carrying the carefully constructed alien luggage. One individual in slimy gold braid stepped out of the pack and waved a lot of claws in my direction.
    “Welcome, stellar ambassador,” it said. “I am Gar-Baj, First Official of War Council.”
    “A pleasure, I’m sure. I am Sleepery Jeem of Geshtunken.”
    “Is Sleepery your first name or a title?”
    “It means, in the language of my race, He Who Walks on Backs of Peasants With Sharp Claws, and denotes a member of the nobility.”

    The Stainless Steel Rat Wants You (SSR4)

    chap 7

    An improbable parade of slithering, hopping and crawling figures slopped up when we appeared through the lock, the Bolivar-robot carrying the carefully constructed alien luggage. One individual in slimy gold braid stepped out of the pack and waved a lot of claws in my direction.
    “Welcome, stellar ambassador,” it said. “I am Gar-Baj, First Official of War Council.”
    “A pleasure, I’m sure. I am Sleepery Jeem of Geshtunken.”
    “Is Sleepery your first name or a title?”
    “It means, in the language of my race, He Who Walks on Backs of Peasants With Sharp Claws, and denotes a member of the nobility.”
