Enter the shady but hugely entertaining world of James Bolivar 'Slippery Jim' diGriz - better known to the galaxy at large as the Stainless Steel Rat.

In the vastness of space, the crimes just get bigger and Slippery Jim diGriz, the Stainless Steel Rat, is the biggest criminal of them all. He can con humans, aliens and any number of robots time after time.

Jim is so slippery that all the inter-galactic cops can do is make him one of their own.

About the Author

Harry Harrison (1925-2012) Harry Harrison was born Henry Maxwell Dempsey in Connecticut, in 1925. He was the author of a number of much-loved series including the Stainless Steel Rat and Bill the Galactic Hero sequences and the Deathworld Trilogy. He was known as a passionate advocate of Esperanto, the most popular of the constructed international languages, which appears in many of his novels.

Industry Reviews

Fast-moving and very funny - Evening Standard

The Monty Python of the spaceways - Daily Telegraph

Truly breathtaking - Times Literary Supplement

Endlessly inventive and studded end to end with laugh-out-loud hilarity. What Terry Pratchett has done for fantasy, Harry Harrison did resoundingly for SF. His Stainless Steel Rat storms the barricades of po-faced Golden Age SF with laughing gas grenades and rams an explosive charge right up its complacent rock-ribbed arse.

Abounding in quick action and quicker jokes...The Stainless Steel Rat series shows Harrison's talents to the best advantage - Science Fiction Review
