The Repairman
Harry Harrison
Read by Phil Chenevert





This is a collection of 3 of Harry Harrison marvelous early stories that were published in Galaxy, Analog and Fantastic Universe. The Repairman (1958) is a straight fun SF story of a man getting a job done. It is most typical of his later style in series like the Stainless Steel Rat; Toy Shop (1962), a short piece exploring bureaucratic blindness and one ingenious way around it and The Velvet Glove (1956), my favorite for its writing style, fun perspective, sly social commentary on the scene in 1956 and just plain delightful imagination. And he manages to pack excitement and mystery in at the same time. (1 hr 33 min)

Reviews
The Repairman





Jolujo
KUDOS to the reader! He was perfect for the wry humorous style of Harry. Especially so for The Repairman. Since the gradual decline of my vision, and subsequent difficulty in smoothly reading any text, I have had a long period of starvation from the literary food for my mind. At one time I had a collection of Sci Fi paperbacks exceeding 500 volumes. I thank all the folks who's efforts have created a wonderful relief for us who miss reading so much.

they should make a tv show of this would have been hit in the 80

I have always enjoyed Harry Harrison’s plot lines and ironic humour. These stories are well worth the read.
Fun





Avid Listener
Short and fun. Highly recommend even to those who are not in the sci-fi genre.
Eh, a book to pass the time

Interesting but very dull on the action side.
