Slippery Jim DiGriz is the Stainless Steel Rat: the galaxy's greatest thief and con artist. For novel upon novel, the Rat has outfoxed the forces of conventionality, cutting a stylish swathe through dozens of star systems. Now three of the Rat's greatest exploits are collected in a single omnibus volume.

In A Stainless Steel Rat Is Born, we see the origin and early days of Jim DiGriz's brilliant criminal career; in The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted, the Rat must avenge the murder of his mentor-in-crime; and, in The Stainless Steel Rat Sings the Blues, Slippery Jim must retrieve a missing alien artifact, while disguised as a futuristic rock-and-roller -- or forfeit his life.
