    <body><![CDATA[The Iowa Canal Players put on a great comedy at this years’ Archon/TuckerCon/NASFiC. As Janice and I were leaving, she was telling me what a great spoof it was on the Stainless Steel Rat books by Harry Harrison.

    <body><![CDATA[I think this is one of my favourite of the rat series.  The first  held the opening thrill and some of the ones up until this point have been enjoyable, but nothing's really taken us back and given us some of our heroes history.  it is this history that makes the man, of course; and so although it m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57590762">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In the auspicious annals of crime, chicanery and counterespionage, one name towers above all the rest - &quot;Slippery Jim&quot; diGriz, the fabled outlaw known and feared as The Stainless Steel Rat! Now, the uncanny, untold origins of the 25th century's most canny criminal can at last be revealed.<br/>This final volume in the saga of James diGriz explores his humble beginnings as a petty criminal on the backward planet of Bit O'Heaven, and his rapid rise to the most wanted man on a dozen worlds. And it contains the never-before-told story of the fabled archcriminal known as The Bishop, who tutored young Jim in the higher arts of crime and gave him his legendary nickname. A rousing, rollicking, often touching tale, A STAINLESS STEEL RAT IS BORN is a stirring portrait of a man who learned to laugh at the laws that bind ordinary men.]]>

    <![CDATA[Young Jim diGriz has but one ambition in life - to become a master criminal, perhaps the greatest that little Bit O'Heaven has ever seen. So that he can learn the ropes, he has to mix with the right people - or rather the wrong people. And for this kind of on-the-job training the best place to meet the worst villians is in prison. But even for a customer as slippery as Jim, getting behind bars isn't easy.<br/><br/>So Jim does a bank job, very badly, with the avowed intention of getting himself nicked...]]>
