Earl Dumarest, now a vanquished and captive mercenary, is offered the choice of surrender to the fearsome Cyclan or the chance of freedom by the beautiful and ruthless Lady Delphine. The risks are terrifying - but has Dumarest a choice?
Intent on finding the legendary world of Terra - Earth - the planet of his birth; pursued by the brilliant and ruthless megalomaniac race, the Cyclan, whose secret key to Galactic domination only he possesses; trapped on a plague ship hurtling through a universe determined to destroy it, and captained by a madman - Earl Dumarest is tempted by the irresistible but fatal promise of Delphine.
The choice is simple - to abandon his dreams or perish by them, just as they promise fulfilment.

Have you ever done a text by speaking. You get some creative texts that are nowhere close to what you want. This book is much the same. There are so many errors that you end up guessing what the author meant to say. If the book was proof read they need to fire the proof reader and get someone else. The previous books were also full of obvious errors. At times it felt like whole sections were missing. From now on, I plan on only reading the published hard copies.Product details

Spectrum of a Forgotten Sun The Dumarest Saga Book 15 eBook EC Tubb Reviews
A splendid fast-paced science fiction novel. Earl Dumarest covers a lot of ground – and space – in this one! Fighting as a mercenary on the planet Hoghan, he ends up on the losing side and is captured. However, his abilities are recognised and he is offered a way off the planet, if he can assist in a little bit of interplanetary smuggling. And one of the main looters is the Lady Dephine (not Delphine as shown in the blurb and on ). Some sci-fi writers can’t write good female characters; Tubb can ‘Life alone is never enough. Always there is more, for unless there is, we are no better than beasts in a field. Our senses were given us to use; our ambitions to be fulfilled. How well you understand, Earl.’
The pace never lets up there’s betrayal, a deadly plague on the spaceship, landfall on Emijar, a planet controlled by strict codes of conduct where transgressors can expect to be challenged to fight to the death, and here too are the olcept, nasty critters that are hunted for trophies and attaining manhood. The dead are mummified and deified, though it’s no comfort to them.
And there’s a grand passion between Dephine and Earl. Not forgetting another possible clue to the whereabouts of the long-lost planet Earth. And the story has a neat twist at the end, too.
As always, Tubb provides us with glimmers of prose that is almost poetry ‘Her faith had been strong and she had died happy. Now she would drift for eternity or be drawn by gravitational attraction into a sun and disintegrate in a final puff of glory. A minute flame which would, perhaps, warm some future flower, grace some unknown sky.’ And then we’re brought down severely with ‘Fanciful imagery which had no place in a ship which had become a living tomb.’
Over the years commentators have wondered why the saga has never been taken up as a TV series. Particularly these days; the CGI wizards could do a great job. Perhaps it’s because TV series have moved away from the lone protagonist – now it seems a series involves a number of regular characters, it’s an ensemble piece, rather than a one-man show with guests.
(My paperback didn't have many text errors, so maybe it's the e-book transfer?)
in line with his style throughout the dumarest saga. This was a book that I missed when it first came out (I have 30/33 of the saga, and got the download versions to complete my series and my reading.
Every one of these I read, I can't help but think what a great TV series this would make. I recommend the series. My only issue is that I believe the books are a bit pricey for the length (all are around 150 pages each). They are super fast reads.
