<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>One of SF's most beloved rogues: the Stainless Steel Rat!</b> <p/>Slippery Jim DiGriz is the Stainless Steel Rat: the galaxy's greatest interstellar thief and con artist. For novel upon novel, the Rat has outfoxed the forces of conventionality, cutting a stylish swathe through dozens of star systems-and stealing the hearts of thousands of readers. <p/>Now three of the Rat's greatest exploits are collected in a single volume. In <i>A Stainless Steel Rat Is Born</i>, we see the origin and early days of Jim DiGriz's brilliant criminal career, as our underworld hero is forced to work for the Good Guys. Conscripted again in<i> The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted</i>, this time into a planetary army, the Rat must avenge the murder of his mentor-in-crime. And in <i>The Stainless Steel Rat Sings the Blues</i>, Slippery Jim must retrieve a missing alien artifact, while disguised as a futuristic rock-and-roller...or forfeit his life.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b>Long Live the Rat!</b> <p/>When Kingsley Amis read the first Stainless Steel Rat novel he said, 'Well, Harry, you have written the first picaresque science fiction novel.' I nodded sagaciously-and at the first opportunity rushed to my dictionary. <p/><i>Picaresque 1</i>. of or relating to a type of fiction in which the hero, a rogue, goes through a series of episodic adventures. <p/>Well, that is a fair enough description. My hero is alone against the universe, with every man's hand-if not every woman's-turned against him. He is without the law, verily a law unto himself, with a strict sense of morality. Aren't the two mutually incompatible? No, as you will soon discover... -Harry Harrison, from the Introduction <p/>Cheerfully larcenous and anarchic. Long may the Rat run roughshod over the forces of law, order, and the square world. -<i>The Orlando Sentinel</i> <p/>Harrison's fictions constitute one of the main monuments in modern SF. -Paul Di Filippo, <i>Scifi.com</i>, on <i>50 in 50</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Cheerfully larcenous and anarchic ...
