Very fun pulp far-future adventure story. The setting features excuses for our space opera protagonists to use swords in their incredibly frequent combat encounters. Deathstalker lays it on thick and doesn't apologize. If the tropes appeal to you, you're going to love it. If you're looking for something highbrow or challenging or with nuance, you're going to hate it.
