  • [YASID] Stainless Steel Rat in... NYC

    From danny burstein@3:633/10 to All on Tue Sep 9 01:08:42 2025

    At least I think it was SSR...

    The snippet I'm trying to retrieve
    has him walking into an office building
    and then EVERYONE, from the elevator
    operator to the people just walking
    around to the worker at the small
    convenience shop... ALL of them
    rush to attack him.

    Anyone recall the book? Thanks

    I believe that it's _The Stainless Steel Rat Saves the World_. All
    of the occupants of the building are minions of He.

    I'm not sure that the building was in NYC, but will accept correction.

    Thanks. I'll see if I can find my copy...

    For some reason that clip is nagging at me...
