An unbelievable page turner as are all the books in the Deathstalker trilogy. Action and adventure comes thick and fast in this second of the series book. Mr Green takes you to new and amazing worlds and also treats us to the start of an alien invasion.He writes in a way that is so easy to understand and follow which helps you avoid getting bogged down and stops you having to back track and read a paragragh again just so you can get to grips with what is going on in the story. The Deathstalker trilogy is a must read for any Star Wars fans and science fiction adventure readers. An epic tale.

Deathstalker Rebellion is a re-read as I plan to do the whole series this year so I started from the beginning again to refresh my memory. Plus I'm really on a Simon R Green kick just now and want to read anything while waiting for the new series to come out in May.
Deathstalker Rebellion is book two in the series, and again, another page-turner. this is the sort of book that keeps you in the bath way too long, or burning the midnight / one o'clock / two o'clock oil
It's an interesting series because the main character/hero of the books is often absent for long sections of the book, which you might think is strange but it isnt really. Book one, I decided one of my favourite characters was not the hero but someone else that was introduced in the book, because I got so caught up with his story. So I suppose I should really have been surprised that for most of this book Owen doesnt show his face at all haha!
Most of the action takes place on technos III, with two of the 'rebels' who were sent there to enlist the help of the indigenous rebels of that planet. We then meet two other characters, one was briefly mentioned in the first book, and get to know more about them. On the face of it, Toby Shreck is not a nice guy, he's a reporter, he's part of the corrupt aristocracy, and he'll do anything for a story. His cameraman is the only person willing to work with him. They are sent there to cover the launch of the Empire's new stardrive and get good publicity for the Empress, but things dont go according to plan. Jack Random (professional rebel) and Ruby Journey (professional bounty hunter) are here to get rebel support and in the process, help the rebels fight against the Empire forces. Toby films all the action which doesnt exactly show the Empire in a good light. The book is very fast paced and exciting and I am probably not doing it justice by rambling on here. I did find myself carrying it about and picking it up in the middle of TV shows, and this is even on a second read.

Format:Paperback
Really good book, gripping and unputdownable. Needs to be read after 'Deathstalker' or it wont make sense. Full of horror and suspense, and after you have finished with it you will want all your friends to read it so you can discuss it. My advice: Buy it.........NOW!
