A Stainless Steel Trio

Beloved intergalactic rogue Stainless Steel Rat aka Slippery Jim DiGriz had to start his criminal life and training somewhere. Here the multi-talented expert in karate and fast-change fast-talk artist narrates three great exploits. *A Stainless Steel Rat Is Born* describes how the lad graduates from Bit O'Heaven porcuswine farm to jail, finds and rescues a mentor, stowaways to slavery, then helps interplanetary League Navy Captain Varod defeat medieval Capos. Conscripted again in* The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted*, he tries to help a planet of peace, inspired by the philosophy of logical robot Mark Forer IV, defend against the invading army, led by the sadistic killer of his mentor, The Bishop. In *The Stainless Steel Rat Sings the Blues*, Jim, disguised as a futuristic rock-and-roller, must retrieve a missing alien artifact or lose his life.
