Description ▲
A collection of light-hearted action and adventure entertainment for teens. If you're a fan of exceptionally exciting, creative and hilarious science fiction, then Slippery Jim DiGriz (also known as "The Stainless Steel Rat") is your man. A funny, endearing "pseudo James Bond" character, Jim is a scoundrel of sorts who does everything for all the right reasons. He proves himself an expert burglar, cool con man and consummate liar. Out conned into working for the elite government Special Corps law enforcement and spy agency, Jim puts his talents to use in the name of justice except when he's using them for his own benefit, breaking the laws he's charged to uphold. Jim rationalizes his conflicting conduct by claiming he is doing society a favor by committing crimes. Though a rascal, Jim is a humanist at heart. He takes great care to ensure no injury befalls anyone as a result of his own mischief. This collection of 3 teen science fiction novels includes "The Stainless Steel Rat," "The Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge" and "The Stainless Steel Rat Saves The World." Jim encounters a sociopathic femme fatale Angelina, a military society bent on conquering the universe, and "He," the time traveling megalomaniac. Humor and action blend seamlessly in a tongue-in-cheek style.
