Random They're worth it, but I highly recommend skipping all books published after A Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted. They seriously go downhill from there.

Can you tell me the order of these books? I've downloaded them but it didn't specify the order :)

Random I tend towards publication order for series. You can take a look at the series page here: http://www.goodreads.com/series/49566-st...
Basically go down the list, but I would put A Stainless Steel Rat is Born immediately before A Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted. (Both of these books are prequels so they can be read first, but as I said, I prefer publication order.

Random Looks like I can't properly put a link into here. Here's the order I recommend.
The Stainless Steel Rat
The Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge
The Stainless Steel Rat Saves the World
The Stainless Steel Rat Wants You
The Stainless Steel Rat for President
A Stainless Steel Rat is Born
A Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted (my personal favorite)

As for the rest, I'd run away from them as fast as possible. :)

Tim I actually preferred Harrison's Deathworld series.
