Deathstalker is a science fiction novel by British author Simon R. Green. The second[1] in a series of nine novels, Deathstalker is part homage to - and part parody of - the classic space operas of the 1950s, and deals with the timeless themes of honour, love, courage and betrayal.

Plot introduction[]
