Deathstalker Rebellion

By Simon R. Green

New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green continues his compelling space opera with the second novel in the Deathstalker series.

Owen Deathstalker—outlawed, with a price on his head and the blood of a mighty warrior lineage in his veins—had no choice but to embrace a dangerous destiny. With nothing to lose, only he had the courage to take up arms against Queen Lionstone XIV.
 
Now as he gathers his unlikely allies—the legendary washed-up hero Jack Random, the beautiful pirate Hazel d’Arc, the original Deathstalker long since presumed dead, and the alien Hadenmen whose purposes no human can discern—the eyes of the downtrodden are upon him while the freedom of a galaxy hangs in the balance...

Reviews for Deathstalker Rebellion

I don't know what is was exactly, but for me this book fell short of the first one. I would still encourage anyone to give this series a try because Green is a skillful writer.

I am not quite done with this book yet, but I have to say it’s certainly at least as good as the first one, if not better. If you’re in to SciFi, you really should read this series.I just finished this book, and it was great. I liked the story, and even though it was just as thick as Deathstalker, it was a faster read. Mostly about the sabotage of the Empire’s new hyperdrive, this book takes you more into the story of Jack Random than of Owen Deathstalker, but it was still great. I really recommend it. I hope the rest of the series keeps up the pace of these first two books.

This series begins to pall when you realize the second book is in large part a re-hash of the first. Enough to sustain the readers interest, but only barely. The second book really cried out for some heavy duty editing and excising. Not sure I'll take a crack at the third, though I do own it.
