Shocked and saddened! Reading Ratty tonight and still loving it.

I only just found out about Harry’s passing (via the Bill movie). I am deeply saddened. My first hero was The Stainless Steel Rat, and there are elements of it and Harry’s other stories that I carry with me to this day.
I was also shocked to realise he had moved to my home town! Oh, Harry, how I wish I’d met you – I’m not an effusive fan, I’d have quietly thanked you and shuffled away embarrassed, never explaining the positive impact you had on me as I was growing up. Thank you for entertaining and educating me.

Я увекрен, что Гарри Гаррисон написал правду про Джима ди Гриза и Язона дин Альта. И было это реально в какой то галактике, далёкой от нас. Я русский, но у нас поэт Пушкин сказал, что пишет не он а вдохновляет его Муза и кто то даёт ему текст. И некоторые писатели это подтвердили, наши русские. Потому думаю, что история с Джимом ди Гризом вполне реальна,Потому что диктовали ему Высшие Силы, только произошла она в другой галактике, на других планетах. Это тоже фантастика, но она мне очень нравится.
