Only Owen Deathstalker -- outlawed, with a price on his head and a mighty warrior lineage in his veins -- had the courage to take up sword and energy gun against Queen Lionstone XIV. Now as he gathers his unlikely force -- the legendary washed-up hero Jack Random, the beautiful pirate Hazel d'Arc, the original Deathstalker long since presumed dead, and the alien Hadenmen -- the eyes of the downtrodden are upon him...while the freedom of a galaxy awaits!
Simon Richard Green is a British science fiction and fantasy-author. He holds a degree in Modern English and American Literature from the University of Leicester. His first publication was in 1979.
His Deathstalker series is partly a parody of the usual space-opera of the 1950s, told with sovereign disregard of the rules of probability, while being at the same time extremely bloodthirsty.
