Empire's End

Set three thousand years in the future, the story of Sten is the life and times of a most unusual hero, told in eight volumes. The series has sold more than two million copies, making the books consistent best sellers both in the United States and abroad, and has been hailed by critics as a "landmark science fiction series."

Sten embarks on the ultimate treasure hunt: the search for the source of the Eternal Emperor's power. But his quest uncovers the dark secret of the emperor's past – and Sten finds himself questioning his loyalties – and whether the only way to save the human race is to destroy the Empire he vowed to protect.
