In Marvel's first original novel, Rocket and Groot face every villain in the galaxy after saving an android Recorder with powerful secrets. A talking racoon and a mobile tree walk into a bar. Then things start to get weird. With the Guardians of the Galaxy on hiatus, Rocket Racoon and Groot are out looking for some quick cash. But during a spaceport brawl, the infamous pair wind up rescuing an android Recorder from a pack of alien Badoons. Turns out, this particular Recorder is holding some highly sensitive, incredibly powerful information. The kind of information that some very powerful forces—including the ruthless Kree Empire and the stalwart Nova Corps—would do anything to get their hands on. Now, to protect their newfound android friend, Rocket and Groot are about to embark on an interplanetary escapade of epic proportions.
