Vremja neotdelimo ot Cheloveka.

God 865-j. Britanskimi ostrovami pravjat vrazhdujuschie koroli, a koroljami pravit Tserkov, besposchadno raspravljajas so vsemi, kto osparivaet ee vlast. Tolko groznye vikingi ne strashatsja khristianskikh ierarkhov i krepko derzhatsja za svoju veru. Molodoj kuznets Shef, rozhdennyj znatnoj anglijskoj plennitsej ot vozhdja razbojnikov-severjan, voleju sudby - a mozhet byt, voleju jazycheskikh bogov - stanovitsja vragom sobstvennogo naroda. Tainstvennyj nastavnik, javljajuschijsja v videnijakh, pomogaet emu sozdavat ranee nevidannoe oruzhie. No etogo malo, chtoby oderzhivat pobedu za pobedoj; glavnye sojuzniki Shefa - ego otvaga i izobretatelnost. Shef sobiraet po krupitsam sobstvennoe korolevstvo i nachinaet totalnuju vojnu - vojnu Molota i Kresta.

Kto-to v dalekom buduschem pozabotilsja o tom, chtoby kljuchevye figury Spetsialnogo korpusa, stojaschego na puti u zloumyshlennikov, nachali ischezat odna za drugoj. Odnoj iz zhertv stala Anzhelina, zhena Dzhejmsa di Griza, bolee izvestnogo kak Krysa iz Nerzhavejuschej Stali. A znachit, geroju nichego ne ostaetsja, kak vstat na vrazheskij sled, kotoryj vedet v drevnee gosudarstvo pod nazvaniem Soedinennye Shtaty Ameriki. Nu a posle mozhno budet pouchastvovat v kosmicheskoj vojne, zaodno primeriv na sebja sklizkuju shkuru prisheltsa...

Tsikl Garri Garrisona o Dzhime di Grize, prozvannom Stalnoj Krysoj, po pravu schitaetsja odnim iz luchshikh v tvorchestve proslavlennogo fantasta. Geroj tsikla, velikij plut i moshennik, umeet vykhodit sukhim iz vody prakticheski v ljuboj situatsii, kakoj by beznadezhnoj ona ni pokazalas vnachale, - i v ljubom ugolke Vselennoj, kuda by ego ni zabrasyvala sudba. V bezumnoj li borbe za prezidentskoe kreslo, svjazannoj so smertelnym riskom, na planete Paraiso-Aki. Ili v glubinakh ada, kuda Dzhim otpravljaetsja radi spasenija ljubimoj suprugi. Nu a uzh kogda bogatejshij v Galaktike chelovek predlagaet fantasticheskoe po summe voznagrazhdenie za nekoe opasnoe delo, tut uzh sam Tvorets mira ne ugovorit ego otkazatsja. No, dazhe razbogatev i poluchiv redkuju dlja sebja vozmozhnost uedinitsja vmeste s semejstvom, Dzhim di Griz nedolgo prebyvaet v pokoe. Ved on ne kto-nibud, a Stalnaja Krysa, chelovek iz nerzhavejuschej stali.

No chtoby iz neotesannogo parenka s zabytoj bogom planety sdelatsja supergeroem, kotoromu vse po silam, nuzhno projti tysjacha i odno ispytanie. Posluzhit v armii s ee bezdumnymi mushtroj i shagistikoj, pouchastvovat v mezhzvezdnykh batalijakh, zalezt v shkuru zhutkogo inoplanetnogo monstra, radi inozemnogo artefakta popytat schastja na planete, kuda ssylajut prestupnikov... Vsjakij li na takoe sposoben? Net, konechno! Tolko Stalnaja Krysa, Dzhim di Griz, chelovek iz nerzhavejuschej stali. V knigu vkhodjat pervye shest romanov tsikla.
