I loved the first book (1961) and liked the next two (1970-1972). I
thought that the series began to deteriorate around book 4 (1978).

Thanks - that's good to know, and is in line with a few other things
I've seen as well. I enjoyed the first three, but to me, the third was a
bit of a step down from the first two.

SPI, in its short-lived /Ares Magazine/, published /The Return of the
Stainless Steel Rat/, a board game
[https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3531/the-return-of-the-stainless-steel-rat].

Although confirming this online proved difficult, my recollection is
that Harrison also wrote a short story that appeared in the magazine,
about the same situation as the game.
