Deathstalker Honor – Simon R. Green (Deathstalker, Book 4)
Title: Deathstalker Honor
Series: Deathstalker, Book 4
Author: Simon R. Green
Genre: Science Fiction
For everyone who could not get enough of Owen Deathstalker and his friends, Green has continued their saga beyond the original trilogy. What do heroes do after conquering their foes? Get assigned more foes to defeat by the new government they just helped establish. So off they run into impossible situations to try and work their supernatural heroics.
With Lionstone overthrown and the Rebellion a success, one might think Owen Deathstalker might be able to take a hard-earned break. But now he and the other Maze-changed (or enhanced, depending on your perspective) individuals who survived the rebellion no longer have a place in their world – they are too different and too powerful.
Yet, though they are supernatural, in a sense, they are not immortal. Green continues to draw the reader in through his ever evolving characters and an unencumbered bloodfest of action. Please note that last part, because Green is not squeamish at all about describing the violence happening in the fighting and/or killing in his books.
If you enjoyed the original trilogy, you’ll definitely enjoy this book, though you might want to pick up Destalker Destiny when you grab this one because there is only slight resolution at the end of this book. Green also utilizes these two books to bring resolution to other story arcs which can be traced all the way back to the original trilogy.
Deathstalker Honor is a solid addition to the Deathstalker series, and it continues Green’s established method of preposterous plots, fantastical and gory action, and almost heroic heroes. It is not for the weak of heart, nor for those unwilling to accept some more fantastical and preposterous elements in their stories. But if you are, strap yourself in for a ride!
Worldview: Secular
Age Recommendation: Due to very graphic/descriptive violence and some more mature sexual themes, mid to late high school age.
