Read The Crown Jewels Storyline:

Peleng is a planet ripe for the plucking, and Drake
Maijstral is an Allowed Burglar rated in the Top Ten by the Imperial Sporting
Commission. But what should be a simple case of breaking-and-plundering turns
into an intergalactic crisis when Maijstral steals something so rare, so
valuable, so utterly desirable, that everyone wants it— everyone including
well-armed Imperial spies, gun-toting human militias, a homicidal maniac with a
very large sword, and a fanatical countess with a really, really nasty croquet
habit.

 

The Crown Jewels, by award-winning author Walter Jon
Williams, is sophisticated science fiction comedy at its best.
