'A Stainless Steel Rat is Born' is a novel in which the young Slippery Jim DiGriz finds himself getting into jail and out again in search of criminal contacts.

Reception



Dave Langford reviewed 'A Stainless Steel Rat is Born' for 'White Dwarf' #77, and stated that "No sequel will match the saga's first book, but this comes close: Jim's family isn't around to get in his light, the action doesn't get so excessively silly or grim as to fragment the story, and it climaxes on one of those ghastly low-tech planets in which Harrison delights."
