Slippery Jim DiGriz is the greatest criminal in the galaxy, a stainless steel rat amongst worlds where lawbreakers are few and far between. But the Special Corps eventually catches up with him and he ends up becoming an agent on the trail of a femme fatale who's built herself a battleship! This slim novel moves along at a snappy pace and is a good, old fashioned space opera laced with sardonic humour. Enjoyable.
