Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars


Book Description

Marvel’s greatest heroes and villains battle for survival across the galaxy on an unknown planet in this prose adaptation of the classic graphic novel. In a flash of light, Earth’s mightiest heroes find themselves aboard a mysterious spaceship in an unfamiliar galaxy alongside a ship filled with their deadliest foes. They have been summoned to the strange planet known as Battleworld by an omnipotent cosmic entity, the Beyonder. His message is simple: “Slay your enemies and all you desire shall be yours . . .” The only hope the Avengers, the X-Men, Spider-Man, and the Fantastic Four have now is to prepare for a fight. But who among this murderers’ row of villainy poses the greatest threat? Is it the powerful Magneto? The manipulative Molecule Man? The world-eater, Galactus? Kang the Conqueror? Ultron, the robot whose only desire is to kill all life? Maybe it’s the enigmatic Beyonder? Or perhaps they should worry about what plans Doctor Doom has up his sleeve. With so many questions to answer, only one thing is certain: the battle royale begins now . . .

To claim it you must find the Palace of Eternal Dusk and there confront the Warlock King. It is a struggle which will test the limits of your courage and skill, for the nightmares you must face will be shaped from the darkest corners of your own subconscious mind. * * * What reviewers are saying about BLOOD SWORD: ""Real effort has gone into the world-building and characterisation of this series."" ""A lot of really cinematic elements."" ""A memorable story, along with a memorable game-playing experience. Long paragraphs and detailed descriptions add to the atmosphere."" ""There are multiple paths to victory, and each path will provide you with differing challenges."" ""The atmosphere is fantastic. From the snow-capped landscape to the fear of constantly being stalked by minions of the True Magi, this campaign is very gripping, with great evocations of the senses of claustrophobia and urgency.""
