About this ebook
From a New York Times–bestselling author: The revealing final book in this sci-fi epic tracks the rise and fall of Jupiter’s tyrant—from the perspective of his sister.
The final installment of the Bio of a Space Tyrant series covers the same period as the first five books, but with a twist. The Iron Maiden is told from the point of view of Hope’s sister, Spirit. This book fills in the gaps when the two siblings were apart and perfectly wraps up this scintillating series!

Reviews for The Iron Maiden

3.5/5
3 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This review is for whole series -- engrossing characters and unfortunately probable world building. Absolutely the plot and the protagonist sucks you right in and goes nonstop through all 6 books.
I am a fan of Piers Anthony; but, reader beware -- this ain't no Xanth. Much more intense situations. "Caligula of the stars" on one of the excerpts is a very apt description for some disturbing portions in series; definitely for adults with actions and memories graphic/explicit as to sex, violence, rape and even child molesting. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Written sixteen years after the series' proper conclusion, a completely unnecessary addition. Ninety percent rehash of the material from the original series, except from the Tyrant's sister's point of view. Series fans should just pretend this book does not exist.
