After reading the first three Deathstalker novels, I took a long break and read other books. Now I wish I hadn't. Deathstalker Honor picks up right where Deathstalker War left off, at the end of the rebellion and the overthrow of Empress Lionstone.
All of the storylines are continued, and Owen is challenged almost beyond what even his maze-enhanced body can do. Now that the rebellion is over, humanities' enemies are closing in to take advantage of its weakness. The rogue AIs of Shub and the Hadenmen start their own wars, and it's up to Own, Hazel, Jack, Ruby, and Tobias Moon (yes, Tobias returns!) to save the day.

This book was an excellent follow-up to the previous three and despite its length is an engaging read. (

Epigraph

They were, after all official heroes of the great rebellion.
Owen Deathstalker; outlawed aristocrat and reluctant warrior.
Hazel d'Ark; ex-clonelegger and ex-pirate.
Jack Random; the legendary professional rebel.
Ruby Journey; the infamous female bounty hunter.

Together, they fought impossible odds in the name of freedom and justice, and triumphed time and time again. They gathered and army of the bold and the valiant, the downtrodden and the desperate, and led them to victory. And in the great steel and brass Palace of the homeworld of Golgotha, they threw down the Empress Lionstone XIV and destroyed the Iron Throne of Empire forever.

They should have been feted and honored, raised to the heights and celebrated throughout the civilized worlds.
They should have lived happily ever after.
Unfortunately, life isn't like that.

Dedication

First words

On the good ship Sunstrider II; "Bounty Hunters!" said Hazel d'Ark disgustedly.
