The Stainless Steel Rat series is widely known and admired and has been for many years. This book explains how Jim DeGriz morphed into the Stainless Steel Rat and embarked on his adventures in the Galaxy. Very good reading.

Review of 'A Stainless Steel Rat Is Born' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A very good origin story, with all the standard bits (mentor, daring escape, lessons learned). The beginning was better than the end, which was just okay. Also not as high-tech as the other stories.
