Deathstalker Rebellion — Simon R. Green

REBEL DEFIANT --

Owen Deathstalker--outlawed, with a price on his head and a mighty warrior lineage in his veins--had no choice but to embrace the destiny that befell him. With nothing to lose, only he had the courage to take up sword and energy gun against Queen Lionstone XIV.

Now as he gathers his unlikely force--the legendary washed-up hero Jack Random, the beautiful pirate Hazel d'Arc, the original Deathstalker long since presumed dead, and the alien Hadenmen whose purposes no human can discern--the eyes of the downtrodden are upon him...while the freedom of a galaxy awaits!
