About this title

Synopsis

Flashing across galaxies to track the enemy, undaunted by impossible odds, Slippery Jim diGriz embarks on another perilous mission in the saga of the Stainless Steel Rat.

An irreverent superhero who doesn’t take anything (including himself) too seriously, Jim diGriz is never above a little mischief. Indeed, he and his winsome bridge, Angelina, indulging in a bit of holiday sport, had just claimed full credit for the biggest crime wave to sweep their homeland of Kamata. But confronted with a threat from a distant world, Jim is again enlisted as an interstellar agent and spy in the cause of universal justice. The planet of Cliaand in the Epsilon Indi system has been successfully waging the impossible: interstellar warfare. Jim is sent to this hostile, fear-frozen society, ruled by the indomitable Kraj and his band of gray men, to crack their military secrets and restore peace to the universe.

Obstacles mount, attended by danger, fear, and suspense. But with characteristic resourcefulness and ingenuity, aided by his mastery of crime technique (as well as a little help from Angelina), he repeatedly eludes certain annihilation and ultimately outwits the enemy. Cool. Polished. Indestructible…Slippery Jim diGriz.
