Owen Deathstalker, last of the infamous warrior Clan, always considered himself more of a writer than a fighter, preferring his history books to making any actual history with a sword. But books won't protect him from Her Imperial Majesty Lionstone XIV, who just Outlawed and condemned Owen to death, without any explanation, reason, or warning. No wonder she's called the Iron Bitch.
Now, on the run from Imperial starcruisers, shady mercenaries, and just about everyone else in the Empire, Owen's options are limited. Though the name Deathstalker still commands respect in certain quarters, out on the Rim, Owen is lucky he can cobble together a makeshift team of castoffs, including an ex-pirate, a cyborg, and a bounty hunter. But allies won't be enough to save him.
If he's to live, Owen can either run forever . . . or take down the corrupt Empire. To do that, he'll need the fabled Darkvoid Device—an artifact dating back to the first Deathstalker and perhaps the only weapon powerful enough to help this ragtag rebellion win. The time has come for Owen to finally embrace his Deathstalker heritage . . . and all the blood and death that go along with it.

      In a story derivative of much 1960s science fiction on film and TV, there is an interstellar human empire with an evil empress, and everybody carries swords. Disruptors and aliens and clones abound. A put-upon hero and a beautiful, but angry, female sidekick are both first-class martial artists and weapons masters. Fans of STAR TREK, STAR WARS, and similar series will lap this up. The performances and audio enhancements are excellent. The characterizations are seamless, and the special effects are surprisingly low-key and evocative. While this certainly does not match the best of classic science fiction, it plays to a young audience and does it well. D.R.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
