Summary: Great world could have been so much more.
Comment: As I read the first half of this book, I was facinated by the world that Simon R. Green had created. On style I would rate this first book in this series a five. It manages to combine A Romanesque emipire and mix it with 16th century Europe, and adds in in modern punk culture. Amazingly he makes this work somehow. On the surface the characters are just really neat.
This alone carries the series through the first two books. Unfortuantly the storyline lets the rest of the series down. The more I read this book the more it became clear that there were no real characters just a bunch of odd fighting machines that seemed to choose sides almost at random. But even with this the world kept me enthralled enough that I managed to read through the third book. The only reason I couldn't read on was because the characters just simply became too strong. By the second bood six people are attacking armies and winning without breaking a sweat.
Too bad, this had the makings of a trully great pulp action sereis.

Summary: Smack into another interesting world!
Comment: I have to admit that there are many interesting elements in this book, presented by Green.
however, this content has many rough edges that could have done better with some editing.
well some might have compared it to a saga like starwars, please don't be delusioned nor expect a tale of such high calibre from deathstalker.
Green weaves a rather loose plot in this first book and also introduces a rather confusing array of "undefeatable warriors" that will become clearer as you read the other books in the series. if you are looking for another epic to keep you up late reading and daydreaming...please don't expect too much from owen deathstalker.

Summary: Incredible
Comment: More addicitive than Wampyr blood is the best way to describe this series! From the first page of the first book, I was completely and totally hooked. The characters and their interactions are so clear to me, it's almost as if I am watching the whole story unfold on a screen in front of me. I have yet to figure out how Simon Green does it, but trust me, this book is enjoyable for anyone that likes good fiction whether they are sci-fi fans or not.
