The Stainless Steel Rat

James Bolivar "Slippery Jim" DiGriz, the galaxy's most notorious master con man and retired Special Corps agent, finds his idyllic retirement on Moolaplenty abruptly shattered. After a decade of luxurious leisure, Jim's comfortable life is turned upside down by the unexpected arrival of a long-lost cousin and, inexplicably, a ship full of troublesome swine. This bizarre reunion threatens to drain his substantial bank account and forces him and his equally cunning wife, Angelina, back into the cosmic fray. What begins as a quest to rid themselves of these porcine pests quickly spirals into a thrilling, madcap intergalactic adventure. With his signature wit, a drink in hand, and a heart full of larceny, the Stainless Steel Rat embarks on a grand tour of the galaxy, seeking excitement, gravitons, and a solution to his pig problem. This darkly satiric space opera, a classic in modern science fiction, promises a wild, humorous ride through the cosmos.
