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...
Space opera doesn't get any better than this. With his grand, sweeping style, his memorable characters, his complex and involving storyline, his suspenseful and riveting action sequences, and his absolute mastery of the art of drama, Simon R. Green has truly shaped a masterpiece of modern fiction. Deathstalker Rebellion is the second in a series of five, and continues to build up the complexity of the series. The more Deathstalker you read, the better it gets.
A second helping of a swashbuckling good time!

Another adventure of Owen Deathstalker and his band of not-so merry outcasts attempting to take on the Empress and the Empire all at once, with the usual space-opera intermingled thanks to the always enjoyable aristocrat families. Good fun for all sci-fi enthusiasts.

This book and the others in the Deathstalker series are a must. Green is a true genius, he posses the ability to place the reader in the roles of any member of the text. Owne Deathstalker must build a force to overthrow the currupt empress who live only for herself. This book is brilliant and I can't only recommend it enough.
better than the first book

this swashbuckling epic is better than the first book!Owen Deathstalker and his fellow rebels are still the evil empress. they are making alliances with others who eager to overthrow her imperial highness Lionstone.This series is the closest thing I've ever read to Star Wars! I also like the fact that it doesn't take itself serious all of the time. the female characters are also the more bloodthirsty than the men!
