The Stainless Steel Rat

One of science fiction's most beloved rogues: Harry Harrison's ‘The Stainless Steel Rat.’ American science fiction writer Harry Harrison is most known for creating the character The Stainless Steel Rat in his 1966 book Make Room! Make Room!, which served as the inspiration for the 1973 movie Soylent Green. In addition, he served as the Birmingham Science Fiction Group's co-president. DiGriz gets apprehended while committing a crime and enlisted in the Special Corps. During his probationary term, he finds out that someone is building a battleship that is ostensibly an industrial vessel while working at a boring desk. Since nobody in the peaceful League possesses a battleship these days, whoever builds this one would be unstoppable. DiGriz's pursuit of the guilty turns into a personal conflict with the lethal but attractive Angelina, who is plotting a takeover on one of the feudal worlds. DiGriz is torn between joining Angelina and giving her over to the Special Corps, given that he has developed feelings for her.
