Owen Deathstalker, last of the infamous warrior Clan, always considered himself more of a writer than a fighter, preferring his history books to making any actual history with a sword. But books won't protect him from Her Imperial Majesty Lionstone XIV, who just outlawed and condemned Owen to death, without any explanation, reason, or warning. No wonder she's called the Iron Bitch.

Now, on the run from Imperial starcruisers, shady mercenaries, and just about everyone else in the Empire, Owen's options are limited. Though the name Deathstalker still commands respect in certain quarters, out on the Rim, Owen is lucky he can cobble together a makeshift team of castoffs, including an ex-pirate, a cyborg, and a bounty hunter. But allies won't be enough to save him.

If he's to live, Owen can either run forever...or take down the corrupt Empire. To do that, he'll need the fabled Darkvoid Device - an artifact dating back to the first Deathstalker and perhaps the only weapon powerful enough to help this ragtag rebellion win. The time has come for Owen to finally embrace his Deathstalker heritage...and all the blood and death that go along with it.

Simon Green is a great author and this is a fabulous saga with a grand cast of characters. It has the lot, aliens, robots, evil plots, alter egos. It sounds superfluous but it all hangs together wonderfully.
I'm going to get the next book in the series right now.

Great story.

Absolutely loved this book! Some of Green's best work. Full of intrigue and suspense with comedy and a little romance sprinkled here and there. Exquisitely written and thought out. Really reminds me of game of thrones, and not simply because of the use of the same words lol.

Like game of thrones in space!! Only better lol

I wasn’t familiar with Simon R. Green’s work prior to Deathstalker. Nevertheless, the book was on sale and the summary sounded interesting. Buying it blindly turned out being a well rewarded leap of faith indeed. Deathstalker is very well written and narrated, the characters have strength of personality, and the story is simply fantastic.
If you’re a fan of Galaxy’s Edge or martial-based SF epics in general, then you’ll dig this too.

Reminds me of Star wars the early version. Fighting against the oppression of the Tyranny of the empire. Owen gets on the bad side of the Empress and has to go on the run. On his way he picks up other people who have their reasons for hating the empire. Will have to listen to the next to see where this ends up going.

Very Good Space Opera

I’m excited about Deathstalker. I really enjoyed book 1. Recently I’ve had trouble finding solid sci-fi fantasy novels, there’s a lot of crap out there. Deathstalker is no Hyperion, but then nothing is. No spoilers here, but this is the beginning of a very promising space opera. I will continue with the series.

Tons of Fun

Would love to see this story on the big screen. A fantastic space opera. Better than Star Wars.

The only real problem I had with this was the last fight. People were fighting their interiors and not able to win after easily trouncing better opponents the whole story. It was ONLY because he needed the characters later. other than that and a few grammatical repetitions this author is known for it was a fun story. The parts that annoyed me were worth dropping it to 3.5 but there's no half on here so I gave it 4 instead of needlessly dropping it more. Narration was solid if not very I spires although most of the characters seem stuffy anyway so that might account for it.

Good until the end

I can't believe this series hasn't been picked up by HBO or Netflix. Classic Space War.

THIS NEEDS TO BE A SERIES
