Summary

"The Misplaced Battleship" by Harry Harrison is a science fiction adventure where a peaceful part of the galaxy becomes the center of a dangerous plot. The story follows Slippery Jim diGriz, a former thief now working for the Special Corps, as he looks into the secret building of a massive battleship on the planet Cittanuvo. Jim soon discovers that a criminal leader, Pepe Nero, and his clever partner, Angelina, are behind the scheme, planning to use the Warlord-class battleship for their evil deeds. As Jim tries to stop Pepe, he faces tricky situations and moral challenges, finding that trust is hard to come by and nothing is as it seems in this high-stakes game of deception and adventure.
