Guardians of the Galaxy: Castaways is the thrilling
new adventure featuring Marvel's swashbuckling heroes Rocket Raccoon, Groot,
Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, and the ever-charming Star-Lord himself, Peter
Quill. After a series of missions-some successful, others less so, and most
nearly getting everyone killed-the Guardians of the Galaxy are at a breaking
point when they crash-land on a strange planet. With no way to repair their
ship, the frustrated Guardians go their separate ways, quickly discovering that
the planet's inhabitants have never progressed past a medieval stage of
development. Quill finds himself a favored member of a powerful duke's court (as
well as a favorite of the duke's daughter), and life seems just fine under the
circumstances . . . until the duchy comes under attack. When Quill reckons that
their foe may be what's keeping the planet's civilization from advancing, he
realizes that defeating it-with the Guardians' help-may be their only hope for
getting off of that world. . . .
. . . If he can find his friends in time.
