The Stainless Steel Rat
by Harry Harrison
“To catch the galaxy's most dangerous criminals, you need the universe's greatest thief.”
In a galaxy of total conformity, James Bolivar DiGriz is the last of the great outlaws—a 'stainless steel rat' surviving in the cracks of a concrete civilization. When the master thief is finally cornered, he must choose between a life behind bars or becoming the law’s most unorthodox secret agent.
