Summary

After saving the world, diGriz is called on to save the universe. Liberating his two, now teenage, twin sons from a military boarding school and penitentiary, diGriz sets out to free his wife, who has been arrested by the tax men. But the family is soon fighting an enemy of a different sort when the humans-only galaxy of the League is invaded by all manner of hideous aliens.

The Rat, disguised in the most hideous combination of alien physical features, is sent into the centre of the aliens' stronghold, where he finds himself the object of desire among the aliens. His task is to stop the aliens, who plan to wipe out every human in the universe.

Another great reading of a great book.

Once again, I start the review by complimenting Gigante on his interpretation of Jim diGriz - it's just excellent, and he immerses both himself and the listener in the entire machinations of the evil Grey Men, and the Geshtunken.

The plot suffers in a few places, especially with the introduction of the aliens, who are convenient for this novel - but then never heard of again despite having such a massive and overbearing (military) presence in the galaxy at large.

You also get a whiff of Harrison's disdain for religion with the introduction of the Morality Corp later on in the book, but it's all par for the course.

Another good book, and almost worth it for Gigante's characterization alone.
