Steel Rat - such a nickname will not be given to a random person, it must be earned. Not everyone, even if he is a thrice hero, will climb into the shoes of a terrible alien monster in order to defeat the alien aggressors in their lair. And not everyone will join the mad race for the presidency on the planet Paraiso-Aki - a race fraught with fatal outcomes. And to go voluntarily to hell, even to save your beloved wife, is definitely something few people can do. Another thing is the magnificent Jim di Gris. There are no impossible tasks for him. That's why he's the Steel Rat. The book includes the seventh, eighth and ninth novels of the series - “The Steel Rat Needs You”, “The Steel Rat for President!”, “The Steel Rat Goes to Hell”.

Sinister religions, missing physicists, super strings and retarded entropy; it's all in a day's work for Slippery Jim DiGriz, the Stainless Steel Rat, the Universe's greatest ever thief and con artist. But this time the stakes are rather higher than even Slippery Jim is used to. His wife Angelina has disappeared and he has nothing to go on except a pool of blood and a severed hand (formerly belonging to a physicist of stellar reputation) - and the fact that she has expressed an interest in The Temple of Eternal Truth, a cult offering a sneak peek at heaven - for a price.But there's a job to do and the Stainless Steel Rat is the man to do it. After all, the devil makes work for idle hands...
