The Misplaced Battleship
Author: Harry Harrison
Source: Project Gutenberg
Thema: 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." The world
class con man and thief known as the Stainless Steel Rat (diGriz) has another
very big problem to solve and this science fiction novella by the great Harry
Harrison will see if he can solve it and perhaps four or five more like it
before this fascinating and funny tale is finished. 'Use a thief to catch a
thief' sounds great but it sometimes has unexpected results.
