" Fun sequel to "The Stainless Steel Rat," this time Jim DiGriz finds himself tasked with bringing down the heads of a planet intent on taking over their neighboring planets. Interplanetary warfare is uncommon due to its impracticality, but someone's gotten up to it, and Jim leave his pregnant wife, who we last saw brainwashed in the first novel, going from a sociopathic killer to a ... sociopathic government agent.
