Deathstalker Coda

“The Deathstalker Saga is space opera to the extreme as only Simon R. Green can do it. Intense, unique, and addictive, it’s everything George Lucas wishes his work could be, if he had an unlimited budget and the peculiar creativity I’ve come to associate with British writers. I love Green’s work, and I can’t recommend this book enough.”

“[A] wild conclusion to [the] Deathstalker Saga.”

 

“In
Deathstalker Coda,
Simon Green brings together plot threads laid down a good while back, reaching an epic crescendo in this final installment. . . . The heroes are pushed to their limits, the rogues play both sides, and the villains are thoroughly rotten.”

“Chugs along at the same high level it maintained before, with action, characterization, and ethical dilemmas all balanced and mingled in a way to keep readers turning pages.”

“Two subplots, one cosmic and the other the outcome of ordinary human evil, yet both are necessary to make
Deathstalker Coda
a superlative work of science fiction. Simon R. Green brings to a close the Deathstalker Saga and leaves readers satisfied that they have read a book that will be considered a classic by future generations. This space opera is as fantastic as the audience hopes.”

“The Deathstalker family legacy and the battle for the throne are reminiscent of high fantasy, and the wisecracking heroes and villains would feel at home in a Hollywood action-adventure blockbuster. Green has created an amazing universe that stretches light-years into the far future. . . . A rewarding payoff . . . a very satisfying conclusion to a highly enjoyable series.”

“Green ably juggles elements of sword and sorcery, high fantasy, humorous quest, and SF, with homages to authors such as Moorcock, Adams, Cordwainer Smith, and Zelazny . . . . A fun, twisty romp with surprises around every corner.”

“Have fun with this one. Reading even one
Deathstalker
leaves one feeling jollier than before, for the series continues to avoid the lapses of tone so common in humorous space opera and fantasy.”

“An entertaining novel filled with action, political intrigue, and humor. In the guise of classic space opera, Green creates a complex universe with a rich history and sociological foundation. Much of the background is inspired and enriched by Green’s British heritage, featuring, among other things, echoes of Arthurian and Scottish clan traditions. . . . Green does weave them together seamlessly into a universe that makes sense, even with all its wonderfully strange, distinct worlds, aliens, robots, humans natural and otherwise, and even a few ghosts. . . . Genuinely witty . . . a lot of fun.”

“An action-packed space opera in the pulp tradition . . . a fastpaced,
lively read with plenty of humor thrown in to make it
more fun. Lewis’s crew is reminiscent of the misfits that
made up Roj Blake’s crew on the old TV show
Blake’s 7.
There’s plenty of intrigue and double-crossing back in the
Empire to keep you interested, too.”

 

“Fans of the various
Star Wars
and
Star Trek
novels are going to love Green’s epic science fiction series. Plenty of action and adventure.”

“Space opera at its finest, with rebels, traitors, gun and sword battles, and legendary prophecies . . . page-turning action. . . . The motley band of rebels play off each other with the sharp wit and endearing affection found in the best buddy comedies, and Lewis, with his wry humor, is an engaging galactic Indiana Jones.”

“Swashbuckling.”

 

“Rip-roaring space opera with dastardly villains, exciting battles, nefarious plots, and strong-willed heroes.”

 

“A tangled tapestry of intrigue, hidden passion, and high adventure in a space opera filled with swashbuckling adventure.”

 

“An over-the-top masterpiece that veers between brutal comedy and touching riffs on love, loyalty, and betrayal . . . bloody funny and extremely bloody.”

“Good fun in Green’s best gory style.”

 

“[A] stout, exuberant piece of intelligent space opera . . . great fun.”

“Be prepared for an incredible romp through a wonderful universe of space opera, filled with outrageous and incredibly powerful heroes and villains, swords and disruptors, and more lethal creatures than you can imagine.

“The action is fast and frenzied. . . . Manages to consistently entertain, with some wondrously quirky and warped characters.”

“Green blends derring-do, space battles, and wry banter aplenty to form an eminently satisfying space opera.”

“A huge novel of sweeping scope, told with a strong sense of legend.”
