Innocence Lost

Deathstalker War #3

by Simon R. Green, Richard Rohan (Narrator), Terence Aselford (Narrator)

They called it Shannon's World, a pleasure planet where fantasies and dreams became real, and even the weariest could find rest and comfort. And then the awful thing happened. Afterward, Shannon's World cut itself off from the empire. Visitors were destroyed while still in orbit, no matter whom they represented, and the Empress put the planet under quarantine. So things remained, until the most important strategist in the Empire, Vincent Harker, crash-landed on the planet. The Empress sent down a company of her elite battle troops to recover him. They never came back.

About the author

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.

Solid book. Can't wait for the other story lines to merge.
