The Russian publisher Eksmo published the first world edition of The Stainless Steel Rat Returns earlier this year — here’s the cover image, which is much more in keeping with previous images of the Rat than the US edition’s ‘cocktail with a speared pig’ cover.
The cover artwork was by A. Dubovik — thanks to Aleks Ionov for the information. I agree with Aleks that the Russian cover is better than the US one, though I’d have liked to have seen a porcuswine in there somewhere!

You could try the Russian Bookstore in New York, they have a website here: http://www.russianbookstore21.com/catalog/ they list a couple of Harry Harrison books in Russian, so may be able to get the latest Rat book for you.
Reader’s in the UK could try contacting Grant & Cutler in London: http://www.grantandcutler.com/
The Russian equivalent of Amazon seems to be an online bookseller called Ozon: http://www.ozon.ru/context/book/
If anyone has any other suggestions, let us know…
