The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted ssr-7
by Harry Harrison
In a galaxy where civilization covers every world with steel and ferroconcrete, only a very special man can break all the rules and still stay free. A man who moves through the rafters of society like a rat. A Stainless Steel Rat… And when the galaxy goes to war, it needs special men. That’s when The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted. The 25th century’s most dangerous outlaw is back—and this time it means war! Slippery Jim diGriz, better known as the Stainless Steel Rat, is seeking revenge for the murder of his mentor-in-crime, the fabled archcriminal known as The Bishop. His trail leads to Nevenkebla and the iron-fisted dictator General Zennor—the kind of man who’d sell his own mother into slavery just to see the expression on her face. Now in the uniform of a Nevenkeblan soldier, Jim discovers Zennor’s vile plan to enslave a defenseless planet. Only a man with a Special code of honor—only a Stainless Steel Rat—can save the world from the invading horde.
