About the book
Compilation of the first three Stainless Steel Rat books. 1. The Stainless Steel Rat DiGriz is caught during one of his crimes and is recruited into the Special Corps. During his probationary period he discovers that someone is building a battleship disguised as an industrial vessel. Since no one in the peaceful League has battleships any more, this one’s builder would be unstoppable. DiGriz's hunt for the guilty becomes a battle between himself and the beautiful but deadly Angelina. 1. The Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge DiGriz and Angelina are now happily married. Meanwhile, the planet Cliaand is waging interstellar war and, against the odds, is conquering one planet after another.
