Stainless Steel Rat in The Missing Battleship 

Slippery Jim di Griz–a.k.a. The Stainless Steel Rat–is back in this classic adventure, originally published in the April, 1960 issue of Astounding Science Fiction! It might seem a little careless to lose track of something as big as a battleship … but interstellar space is on a different scale of magnitude. But a misplaced battleship–in the wrong hands!–can be most dangerous.
