During a spaceport brawl, the infamous pair rescues an android Recorder from a pack of alien Badoons. Everyone in the galaxy, however, including the ruthless Kree Empire and the stalwart Nova Corps, seems to want that Recorder, who' about as sane as a sandwich with no mustard.

Many books has been published before using characters from the Marvel universe, but those novels were licensed by Marvel to be published by third parties. Also, Marvel has published some novels recently under its label but so far they were novelizations of previously published comic book storylines. This novel is the first one with original material to be published under the label of Marvel. {Explanatory protocols deactivated} This review is brought to you by Timely Inc. Timely Inc., the name that you can trust! {Reviewing Mode activated} BECAUSE THE REVIEW MUST START AT SOME MOMENT Previously the movie of this year (2014), I just barely was aware of the existence of a Marvel title named Guardians of the Galaxy, that it was published on the 70s and “rebooted” like in 2007, and that it was about some kind of super team operating in deep space. And after the huge success of the film (I already have the blu-ray, thanks for asking), I thought that it didn’t hurt to read a bit about them, specially of the “rebooted” version (basically since it’s the closest version to the shown on film) and I read the first volume of the comic book “reboot” at the beginning of December (2014), and after that I engaged into this book, that I already explained above that it’s an original story only available to read on this prose novel. This is a story about disconcertingly human-like hands, unfeasibly large weapons, and a neverending upgrading of the concept of mayhem. Trust me! I am not joking! Well… I am joking, duh!, but nevertheless, it’s an accurate assessment of the story. The setting of the story isn’t clearly defined in the “rebooted” comic book timeline or the new film part of the Marvel Cinematic universe, but maybe at some point in between. You just don’t need to worry about it. Just enjoy this story that it’s set in the generally known concept of the cosmic Marvel universe. The Guardians of the Galaxy are in a “hiatus”, so our good pals of Rocket Raccoon and Groot decided to make some money in the meantime but troubles will appear since the beginning when they have to protect a Rigellian Recorder, a curious android, that all major powers in the galaxy are hunting him to get a secret that it’s unknown even to him. But that secret may be the key to control the galaxy! Maybe even more! The Badoon, the Kree Stellar Empire, the Nova Corps of Xandar, the Shi’ar Imperial Guard, and even a rogue Spaceknight are just some of the pursuit parties after Recorder 127, but if you think that that was plenty enough, well think again, since the cameo of a big villain hiring the services of
an unexpected guest star of the very same team of our good pals of Rocket Racoon and Groot, will add more complications and twists to the formula and when you’d think that the room is full, yet another chasing party will appear! And of course, it will have some other cameos too, don’t worry! Hey, this is a cosmic story after all! And space is pretty big place, so the more, the merrier! Recorder 127 will be your friendly narrator and you will love him! The narrative is so flarking hilarious that any reader fan of the writing styles of authors such as Douglas Adams, Jasper Fforde, Gareth Roberts and/or Jonathan Morris will have a d’asted good experience with this marvelous (yes, pun intended, duh!) book. Definitely, Dan Abnett, the author, did a brilliant job with this novel. Maybe, just maybe if I have to comment something kinda negative (but not so negative like to avoid its well deserved 5-star rating) is that the story will have some dues-ex-machina element at the most climatic moment, but the whole reading experience was so d’asted good and flarking hilarious that I didn’t mind (well, just enough to comment it here, but not enough yet again, to change its well-deserved 5-star rating, gentle readers). So, what are you waiting for?!!! Jump in for the adventure, the thrills, the fun, the Oh-What-theFlark-Event-Horizon of joining the ride of our good pals Rocket Racoon and Groot along with Recorder 127. I am pretty sure that you won’t regret it! But if you do, you can always write your complains to Timely Inc. Headquarters at Alpha Centaury. {Reviewing Mode deactivated} BONUS INTERVIEW!!!
