Owen Deathstalker doesn't trust anyone, even his companions...especially his companions. But for the diplomatic mission to Mistworld, he'll have to try. Representing the Golgotha underground, Owen hopes to bring the planet into the rebellion—their powerful psychic "espers" would be an invaluable asset. But that's not Owen's only reason for visiting Mistworld. In fact, everyone aboard the Sunstrider II has a secret agenda. While Owen looks for an information-gathering network that his father set up, all-too-perfect Jack Random seeks out former allies, volatile esper Jenny Psycho searches for information about her power, and ex-pirate Hazel d'Ark pursues an old vice. Of course, success won't be easy and there's little time to spare. The Empire's recent esper attack already left Mistworld physically and politically exposed. Playing host to the leaders of the rebellion only makes the planet a juicier target and this time, the Empress will deploy her most ruthless weapon to crush Owen Deathstalker and the uprising, once and for all. Deathstalker: War is the third book in New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green's beloved space opera series.
