The Misplaced Battleship by Harry Harrison ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

The Misplaced Battleship by Harry Harrison audiobook. Genre: scifi Something the size of a battleship should be hard to misplace. In interstellar space, it is just another missing object with the potential to start a war. When a powerful warship goes unaccounted for in a supposedly peaceful region, the Special Corps sends its most unusual investigator: James Bolivar diGriz, better known as Slippery Jim, the Stainless Steel Rat, a master thief who now uses his talents on the side of the law. Jim follows a trail of quiet rumors and carefully hidden paperwork to the planet Cittanuvo, where an illegal shipbuilding project may be underway behind a mask of respectability. The deeper he digs, the more he runs into professional-grade misdirection, a web of bribes and false fronts, and the unsettling possibility that someone plans to steal the battleship and sell its firepower to the highest bidder. Facing the criminal genius Pepe Nero and aided and hindered by the brilliant and unpredictable Angelina, Jim must rely on charm, nerve, and a thief's instincts to find the ship before it becomes the spark for galaxy-wide chaos. Fast, witty, and twisty, this caper blends crime, adventure, and classic space opera suspense.
