Synopsis

A golden age doesn't last forever . . .

Owen Deathstalker sacrificed everything to topple a corrupt empire and usher humanity into an age of peace and prosperity. Now Lewis Deathstalker, Owen's descendant, carries on the family name and honor as a Paragon, warriors famed for their skill and heroism who dispense the king's justice throughout the galaxy.

However, two hundred years have passed since Owen and his gang of heroes disappeared into legend, and the peace that the Deathstalker bought with his life is quickly coming to an end. Amidst political uncertainty, Lewis's oldest friend, Douglas, ascends the throne and names Lewis to the archaic, and largely symbolic, role of King's Champion. But Lewis quickly finds that he has all the bad luck of his famous ancestor and that his old allies have become his enemies.

Surrounded on all sides by plots and treason with the political situation spiraling out of control, Lewis is exiled from court in disgrace. Now it's the new Deathstalker's turn to save the empire with only a ragged band of allies as chaos spreads throughout the empire and threatens to end the golden age.

Goodreads review by Kathryn on October 07, 2011

Deathstalker Legacy, by Simon R. Green, is part of a series of books. This particular one, though written fairly recently, obviously owes a lot to classic 1950s space opera, as the setting is a galactic empire (*cough*) in which a reluctant emperor takes over from his father, names his equally reluc......more

Goodreads review by Benjamin on August 17, 2022

Some 200 years have passed since the tumultuous events of the first five novels in the Deathstalker series. We've got a new batch of characters now, many of which are related to those legends from before. I'd worried that it would be a struggle to get back into this series given such a jarring break......more

Goodreads review by Vera on August 21, 2023

I've never actually read the first five Deathstalker books and it might be for that reason that I am so fond of the setting of this book. Taking all the source material from the prior saga and converting them into myths, a history sanitized and turned into legend, makes for an incredibly compelling......more
