The Adventure of The Stainless Steel Rat. The Stainless Steel Rat Wants You. This Lot Includes: * The Stainless Steel Rat for President "Well done, Jim, well done indeed, I congratulated myself. "The Stainless Steel Rat strikes again, penetrating where no other dares, insinuating himself into the ferroconcrete wainscotting of society. Moving like a ghost, striking like lightning. Fearless and forceful. Great!" With my morale heightened by these well-deserved compliments I gave a last adjustment to my uniform and opened the door. * The Adventure of The Stainless Steel Rat Meet James Bolivar diGriz-con man par excellence in a universe full of suckers. He's a self-styled stainless steel rat, living by his wits in the wainscoting of a ferroconcrete/stainless steel civilization, and leading a highly lucrative, wholly satisfying life of larceny in the midst of an almost crime-free society. But "Slippery Jim" slips up in THE STAINLESS STEEL RAT-or rather gets caught in a better than average rat trap set by an interplane-tary law enforcement agency: the Special Corps, Harold Inskipp, the Corps' head man (an ex-criminal him-self who knows all the tricks) persuades diGriz to lend his talents to the forces of justice-outlining a few unpleasant alternatives. * The Stainless Steel Rat Wants You James Bolivar diGriz, criminal-virtuoso-turned-undercover-agent, had never been one to quail in the face of danger. There-fore, when his lovely, larcenous wife, Angelina, was kidnapped by the cruelest organization in the galaxy-Interstellar Internal and External Revenue (IIER) -he wasted no time in formulating a scheme to free her. Unfortunately, even though he had the aid of his talented sons, James and Bolivar (whom he'd arranged to have graduate a little ahead of time from the Dorsky Military Boarding School and Penitentiary), things didn't go according to plan. The trio broke into IIER's headquarters easily enough, but they set off an alarm in the process which not only meant that Angelina's rescue had to be postponed, but also that the boys had to wipe clean the family's tax records on their own while their father created an appropriate diversion.
