Description

A Warlord-class battleship, the most powerful weapon in the galaxy, has been misplaced—literally. Stolen from a secret construction yard and hidden somewhere in the asteroid belt, it threatens the fragile peace of the sector.

Enter Slippery Jim diGriz, the Stainless Steel Rat: master criminal turned Special Corps agent. Sent to investigate the disappearance, Jim soon discovers that the beautiful and deadly Angelina and the criminal mastermind Pepe Nero are behind the scheme. But nothing is quite what it seems in this fast-paced adventure through the seedy underworld of the galaxy.

First published in Astounding Science Fiction in 1960, this is classic Harry Harrison—witty, inventive, and relentlessly entertaining.

  1. SciFiFan2026 –

    classic Stainless Steel Rat! Harrison at his best. witty dialogue, clever plot, and Jim diGriz is one of the greatest characters in sci-fi. short but very sweet

  2. Rachel K. –

    great fun read. the battleship heist plot is clever and Jims banter is hilarious. its a short story so it flies by. wish it was longer but what is there is excelent quality

  3. Tom B. –

    Harrison never disapoints. this early Stainless Steel Rat story shows where it all began. smart, fast paced, and full of the sly humor that made the series famous. a must read for fans

  4. Jenny L. –

    picked this up looking for a quick read and got a gem. the characters are vivid and the world building is impressive for such a short story. Jim and Angelina are a great duo. definately recomend

  5. Dave M. –

    entertaining but very short. more of a long short story than a novel. the plot is simple but executed well. good introduction to the Stainless Steel Rat universe if youve never read it before
