About the book: 1996 / One of the many scientific expeditions discovers an artifact in space, presumably created not by people, but by another form of life. Since there is no other evidence of the existence of aliens, it is impossible to overestimate the significance of the find, but, unfortunately, during an emergency landing on the planet Laiokukae, which serves as a place of exile for various criminals, the artifact is stolen by local residents. The Galactic League turns for help in its search to Jim di Griz... who also receives a dose of deadly poison, the antidote to which he will be given only after completing the task... An old acquaintance of the di Griz couple in the Convict Prison of the last serving, and, meanwhile, Steel The Rat is semi-retired and bored, waiting for something suitable. And what could be better than the opportunity to free old friends and at the same time shame the police? Jim di Grizz gets down to business...Harry Harrison's latest work from his famous series about the Steel Rat is a novel-game - a genre popular in the West, but unknown to domestic readers.
