Guardians Of The Galaxy: No Guts,
No Glory
by M.K. England is a prequel novel to the Guardians Of The Galaxy video game
that came out last fall. I highly recommend the video game as it is a lot of
fun, but I digress. In this book, Starlord and the rest of the team successfully
completed their last mission, but were ripped off when it came time to get
paid. They are in desperate need of funds, so they are taking a rather questionable
job.
Twelve years ago, during the war against
the Chitauri, Starlord fought with the resistance on Mercury in order to
prevent the invasion of Earth. During the fighting, there was a traitor that
actively sabotaged their mission. The identity of the traitor was never
uncovered. Someone has now taken control of the abandoned base. The team has
been hired to retake the base. Starlord is hoping a side benefit to retaking
the base will be that he can identify the long-ago traitor.
The story is told through frequent
flashbacks that take up about fifty percent of the tale. Guardians Of The
Galaxy: No Guts, No Glory has plenty of action, humor, and some drama.
All five Guardians have important parts of the story, but the main character is
clearly Starlord. There are some really fun moments of dialog.
I think Guardians Of The Galaxy:
No Guts, No Glory makes more sense if you have played the video game, but
things will still be clear for those who have not played. While it has nothing
to do with the movies or the graphic novels, if you have watched or read
either, you will not be lost here. While the characters have some differences
in their backstory here as compared to the movies or the graphic novels, those
changes are relatively minor.
I think as long as you are a fan of the Guardians Of The Galaxy you should enjoy this tale. I enjoyed Guardians Of The Galaxy: No Guts, No Glory by M.K. England as it is a lot of fun.
My paperback reading copy came from the Central or Downtown Branch of the Dallas Public Library System.
