Product Description

Product Description

The Eternal Emperor had returned at last from the dead, to pick up the pieces of his crumbling Empire. But even that great leader could not halt the Empire's decline alone. And so Sten, master spy, military strategist, and assassin, found himself appointed Ambassador Plenipotentiary to the Altaic Cluster, where a brewing civil war threatened the stability of the Empire itself. Quelling a civil war was nothing new for Sten. But as one thing after another went wrong, he began to suspect that he was up against more than a mere local disturbance. Someone - operating in deepest cover, with the highest authority - was working behind the scenes to manipulate events and escalate disaster. And that someone wanted nothing more than to see Sten dead ...For more information on this or any other Orbit book, visit the Orbit website at www.orbitbooks.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars The last(and best?) of the Sten series., 20 Dec 2002
This review is from: Empire's End (Sten) (Paperback)
Sten 8: Empire's End, is the last in the long line of the Sten series of books, and it is also, surprisingly, probably the best. It's action packed, fast and enjoyable. The authors, whether they are writing about cooking or covert operations seem to know what they're talking about and the characters are interesting and quirky. The ending is satisfing, tying up all the loose ends and ressoving the long story arch that has dominated the books. Unfortunately the book has one fault, it is almost essintial that you read the other books in the series, or you will be left very confused with what going on. Overall though, great fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thundering good read!, 3 Jun 2009
This book is part of the Sten series, a space opera in the good old fashioned way, detailed characters, twisting plot, lots of action.
I enjoyed it immensely. Ideal airport waiting material.
