The Golden Age of peace in the galaxy is threatened by two entities; the passed-over King's champion who seeks revenge and the Terror that is prophesied to destroy all humanity. Lewis Deathstalker, the ancestor of the legendary Owen, leads a motley crew of outcasts on a frantic, yet amusing interstellar quest to stop the end of the universe. Such is the premise of Deathstalker Return by British writer Simon R. Green.
