Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0380756617, Paperback)Bill would give his right arm to defend his Emperor against the alien Chingers - which is lucky seeing as he has two of them...War demands sacrifices, and if you've lost one left arm, have an artificial foot and a set of nifty surgically-implanted tusks, it's a small price to pay for the privilege of being a hero. And Bill knows all about heroism - as part of a motley crew his new task is to track down the source of Chinger-controlled metal dragons that are making mincemeat out of humans...

"Bill, that's what they called him. They called him that because that was his name."
I didn't realize when I started reading this series that only the previous book and this one are actually written by Harrison. The rest of them are actually farmed off to others, with Harrison editing them before publication. According to Wikipedia, Harrison later considered this approach to be a mistake. I think my confusion is at least partially because LibraryThing lists Harry Harrison as the author for the entire series.
Overall I don't think this book is as good as the first one, and while its easy to read the style becomes annoying after a while. It was a quick read though.
