Deathstalker Return: Simon R. Green

Book VII of Deathstalker. Lewis Deathstalker abandoned his place as Paragon and Imperial Champion for the love of Jesamine Flowers, the King's intended. Both have been branded traitors to the Empire and are now travelling in more notorious circles - with immoral gladiator Rose Constantine, con man Brett Random and alien reptiloid Saturday. While Lewis is rooting out Finn Durandal, real traitor to the Empire, he finds there is a greater threat - The Terror that was predicted to destroy all humanity is encroaching. It's said that the only one who can stop it disappeared more than two hundred years ago - Owen Deathstalker. Now Lewis and his companions must find Owen who they believe - must believe - isn't dead at all. Cover art by Patrick Jones.
