Hailed as a "landmark science fiction series," the Sten novels have thrilled millions of readers all over the world. Set three thousand years in the future, they tell the tale of a tough, street-wise orphan who escapes his fate as factory planet “delinq” to become the strong right-hand of the most powerful man in the Universe -- a virtually immortal figure known to his billons of subjects as "The Eternal Emperor." THE FIFTH ADVENTURE Sten fully expected to die in a blaze of glory, taking his Emperor's greatest foe with him. Instead, he is a slave laborer in a POW camp deep in the heart of enemy territory. But sitting out the action had never been Sten's style. And now that the war is building to a climax, the Eternal Emperor needs him more than ever. Not even the toughest prison in the known universe can keep Sten from his mission . . .

Sustained pace, cinematic scope, a winner!

Revenge of the Damned, STEN #5, is best described as MAJESTIC.
The canvass is huge, the focus sharp, and the story unforgettable.
I know because I didn't forget it for decades, and then hugely enjoyed rereading it and parking quotes on Kindle's "share" feature. You know (for 5 novels already) what absolutely has to happen, and when it finally happens, you just can't wait to see what happens next. That's what I call compelling writing.
And there is a next book, so keep reading!
The masterful plotting and writing of Cole and Bunch makes the Sten novels easy to read, deceptively easy. You just flow with the story, but the thing is then you find yourself thinking about what happened, how and why, and after you've grasped the novel itself, then you SEE the relevance to today's headlines. I mean "today" (the 2013 and forward) today-today! Now note these books were written a while ago, and inspired by world politics of the 1970's seen as the recent past, yet the futurology is spot-on. They are about today and tomorrow.
You want to write books that last and last? Study the Sten Series! You just want a whopping good read? Grab the Sten Series. It's got audiobook editions, too. Search audible.com or iTunes.

Poor editing. Amazing story.

I wish they would edit this. It is an amazing series. But all of the errors make it... poor. I hope that the other books I intend to purchase are edited better.
