The Stainless Steel Rat: Meet Slippery Jim DiGriz ... cosmic criminal. The smoothest, sneakiest con-man in the known universe. He can take any bank in the galazxy, con a captain out of his ship, start a war, or stop one - whichever pays the most. So when the law finally catches up with the Stainless Steel Rat, there is only one thing to do - make him a cop. And turn him loose on a villainous lady who is building herself a battleship.
