Synopsis









Meet Slippery Jim diGriz
cosmic criminal, the smoothest, sneakiest con man in the known Universe.  He can take any bank in the Galaxy, con a captain out of his ship, start a war or stop one - whichever pays the most.

So when the law finally catches up with the Stainless Steel Rat there was only one thing to do - make him a cop.  And turn him loose on a villainous lady who was building her own battleship.

 

 

Review



"Harry Harrison bluffs and blusters his way through this preposterous tale ... and somehow he has produced a highly readable novel."
Jon Hartridge, Oxford Mail

Discovery on a Roll
The Shuttle Discovery, along with its External Tank and Solid Rocket Boosters, begins the long roll towards Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The Return to Flight mission, STS-114, is targeted for a launch window opening in mid-May. Discovery's seven crewmembers will fly to the International Space Station, testing out new safety procedures and resupplying the orbital outpost.
