The great thing about writing a Stainless Steel Rat homage is you get to do things like this (in which our protagonists, having returned from a *very* long trip, have found and are preparing to rob a museum exhibit dedicated to ... themselves): #amwriting

@cstross I love "The Stainless Steel Rat" books. I am excited to see your take on that universe.

But, now I am going to deliberately forget (again) that you are working on this so that I will not have to live in agony until I can read it. 😆

I loved them, but they need a rewrite for the current century now.
Alternatively new slants are keenly awaited.

@hoadlck It's not me taking on that universe: it's me putting my own spin on the core idea. (I don't think it's feasible to write sequels to the SSR in this day and age that don't look horribly dated.)
