Funny, easy to get in too. Sci-fi James Bond and Austin Powers combined. Not just for boys. I read the whole series years ago and they are still as good.

Format:Paperback
Jim diGriz aka a Stainless Steel Rat decides to be a criminal to escape from the conservative and dull life of an adult living in a boring planet. In his attempt to educate in criminal life, he tries to learn from criminals in the prison seeing what he seek was not the criminals found everywhere. After finding his tutor, he learns the basis of an alternative life view. That is, for me, the core of this book: "... It is important to comprehend rules of our own, some of them even stricter than those of the society that we have rejected. ... You must be more moral than they are because you will be living by a stricter moral code."
Besides the phylosophical aspects of the book, the plot is well designed and in the book there are many climaxes each can be a climax of a single book. With the speed events going on, sometimes i forgot to breathe in order to catch the events' speed. I look forward reading the other books in this series.

The first in a chain of novels featuring a colourful character destined to become a familiar name in science fiction. This is, perhaps, the most serious, as Jim DeGriz's deadly but charming nature has yet to fully develop. Still witty with a glimpse of the humour to follow. I can highly recommend a little investment in these novels.
