Harrison exploring what happened past happy end and if the Rat became tame.
Clearly the second installment of what turns out to be a rather longwinded series, this lacked some of the captivating pace of the first title.
'Thanks for saving my life.' 'Not at all, sir. I always believe that it is the little extra services that count. Now--may I show you your room?'
Despite this, the witty banter of our hero Jim is on par excellence, and we leave the title expecting to see more of the "grey men".
'I don't wish to bother you dearest,' says Jim to his wife busy with their twin sons, 'But the man in the plum jacket
coming up behind me is an assassin. Do you think you could do anything
about it - and keep him alive if possible?'
Dry humour all the way and promise for the future of Jim's larcenous offspring makes Revenge a useful link in the stainless steel saga.
