Operation Star Hawks is a six-book military science fiction series by Deborah Chester, published between 1990 and 1992. The series begins with Space Hawks and continues through Code Name Peregrine, Beyond the Void, The Rostma Lure, Destination Mutiny, and The Salukan Gambit. The rapid publication pace – six books in three years – is characteristic of the action-oriented science fiction paperback market of the early 1990s.
The series combines space combat with political intrigue, following characters through a series of increasingly complex missions. Chester’s ability to maintain a fast publication schedule across six books demonstrates the productivity that has defined her career across multiple genres.
