Ripped from heart and home by galactic farmers, Ray and his co-workers are taken hundreds of light years across the galaxy and left to fend for themselves. When he begins hearing a voice in his head and is unjustly blamed for the deaths of his friends, he is separated from them by a mysterious silver pod and is led to a peaceful race of aliens called the Draasen. He experiences a new way of life with responsibilities and challenges that he never could have imagined. He is accepted into their society, but at a high cost to his dignity when he is led into protecting and birthing their eggs. When the galactic farmers arrive to take the Draasen population as fodder, the Draasen's fate becomes entwined with that of the nearly extinct human race, and their struggle to survive.

Behind the Gem
Part of my 2020 Social Distancing Read-a-thon
My life really hasn't changed all that much by the pandemic, but even introverts like myself miss being able to leave home freely. As a result, my attention span is not up to snuff and I'm struggling to enjoy what I'm reading these days. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this silly story of Jim DiGriz engaged me when more serious books just didn't.
Maybe it's just these circumstances, but I think this Stainless Steel Rat book is better than the last couple of installments were. I especially enjoyed Angelina's prominent role in the action, especially when she tells her husband and sons to tone down the testosterone and to allow her to be devious!
All the universe hopping is just the thing to cheer you up when you're stuck at home for a while.
Book number 362 of my Science Fiction & Fantasy Reading Project
