This is the story that inspired and kicked off the Stainless Steel Rat series of stories and novels by Harry Harrison. A slippery con man and thief, frustrating every police force on every planet for years, finally meets a worthy adversary in the Special Corps. Slippery Jim deGriz, the Stainless Steel Rat himself, goes on to have many adventures but this is the first...and the last in a way. After this, his cunning and crooked mind is put to the bigger task of saving the universe from itself. Which he does with zest, self interest and sense of fun that describe the Stainless Steel Rat.

I've been wanting to listen to this, book 1 of the stainless steel rat for a long time. to find Phil reading this is an unexpected surprise! literally the best reader. ~~ the story is well-written and hooks you right away. this is only the start of a great series of books. ~~ The Misplaced Battleship is part 2 of this series! it's really great too

Short and to the point - the beginning of the Stainless Steel Rat. I did not like the story at first but as it progressed it piqued my interest. The action was described superbly as it elevated my blood pressure. Now I am considering reading more stories in this series.
