| | Amazon.ca: Deathstalker: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | This first-in-a-series is populated by a suave and suitably blas{}e hero, nasty villains galore, a wide assortment of peculiar supporting characters of many bizarre species, and the requisite confused love interest; and it is set on a criminal planet, Mistworld, at an imperial court, and all over a wildly variegated galaxy. |
 | | Owen Deathstalker, last of his line, is a quiet man, a historian, remote from the stench of corruption and intrigue surrounding the Iron Throne at the heat of the galaxy-spanning, tyrannical Empire. |
 | | However, over the course of the several novels he comes to be a very interesting character, and better yet his companions are, generally, also very interesting. |
