In THE DECEIVERS, Bester reinvented the space opera for the late 20th Century. The hero is Rogue Winter, King of the Maori Commandos...His lover is the beautiful Demi Jeroux, who has been kidnapped by the villanous, demonic Manchu Duke of Death. Rogue must search through the entire solar system to find the missing Demi Jeroux, from the Paradise of Carnal Pleasures to the bloody torture chambers of Triton. It is in the subterranean chambers beneath the surface of Triton that the key to the whole adventure lies. Buried here is the sole source of the newly discovered Meta-crystals, which hold the secret to unlimited energy for all mankind. Demi Jeroux is merely a pawn in the Duke of Death's gambit to seize control of the crystals and place the entire solar system at his mercy. Rogue's final confrontation with the Duke will determine not only the fate of his beloved, but the future of the system and its freedom from the evil Manchu Empire.
Alfred Bester (1913-1987) was the author of two of science-fictions seminal works THE DEMOLITION MAN, THE STARS MY DESTINATION and THE DECEIVERS.
