Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon
ND-5 and Jaylen Vrax embark on their descent into the galaxy's underworld in search of answers and opportunity, in this essential prequel to Star Wars Outlaws.Jaylen Barsha, heir to his family's immense power and wealth, had his life charted out for him neatly and meticulously by his parents, even though he suspected his neglected half-brother Sliro would be a better fit for the bright corporate future his parents envisioned. Then the Empire stripped it all away on trumped-up charges of conspiracy against his family. Before he can reach Sliro for help redeeming the Barsha name, a battle droid arrives at the family compound with a mission to kill every last member of the Barsha clan. Jaylen manages to fend off the attack as the sole survivor, but realizes the droid, who he reprograms, is his only chance to stay alive. But he can no longer be Jaylen Barsha - he'll have to live now as Jaylen Vrax.Former Separatist battle droid ND-5 knows he should be scrap metal, all things considered. He was a proficient contributor to the Separatist cause, but what is a soldier without a war? A trigger without aim? Loyalty is in his programming, and Jaylen, who treats him as more than just a weapon, has earned it. Perhaps, the droid thinks, with a partner he can be more. ND-5 just has to earn Jaylen's trust.With the threat against the Barsha clan still shrouded in mystery, the pair has no choice but to leverage the chaos and disappear. They find sanctuary in the anonymity of the underworld, building their reputation among scoundrels, bounty hunters, and crime syndicates. But when their latest score gives the first real clue in years to who sent ND-5 after Jaylen's family, their biggest opportunity presents a new kind of risk. Do they give up this chance at the wealth and power Jaylen was denied to pursue answers? Or will ambition and the weight of the past shatter their unlikely partnership?

Star Wars: Outlaw - Low Red Moon
Er war der Erbe eines Imperiums - bis das Imperium alles zerstörte. Jaylen Barsha hatte alles, was man sich nur erträumen kann: Reichtum, Ansehen und eine verheißungsvolle Zukunft. Dann riss ihm das Imperium mit falschen Anschuldigungen gegen seine Familie den Boden unter den Füßen weg. Bevor er seinen verschwundenen Halbbruder Sliro finden und den Namen Barsha wieder reinwaschen kann, überfällt ein Kampfdroide das Familienanwesen - mit einem klaren Auftrag: keine Überlebende. Jaylen entkommt dem Massaker und ausgerechnet der Killerdroide, den er umprogrammiert, ist nun seine einzige Chance zu überleben. Jaylen Barsha existiert nicht mehr. Von jetzt an gibt es nur noch Jaylen Vrax. ND-5 ist ein Überbleibsel des Separatistenkrieges - ein Kriegsmaschine ohne Krieg, eine Waffe ohne Ziel. Jaylen Vrax behandelt ihn wie einen Partner, nicht wie ein Werkzeug - und Loyalität ist etwas, das im Code des Droiden verankert ist. Gemeinsam tauchen die beiden in die Unterwelt der Galaxis ab, bauen sich einen Ruf unter Gesetzlosen, Kopfgeldjägern und Verbrechersyndikaten auf - und halten sich knapp über Wasser. Doch als ein lang ersehnter Hinweis auf Jaylens Vergangenheit auftaucht, stehen sie vor einer unmöglichen Wahl: Rache und Wahrheit - oder Reichtum und Macht?Die offizielle Vorgeschichte zum populären Gamehit Star Wars Outlaws von Ubisoft & Massive Entertainment

Marvel: What If . . . Marc Spector Was Host to Venom? (A Moon Knight & Venom Story)
Marc Spector and Venom engage in a battle of wills in the next adventure of an epic multiversal series reimagining iconic Marvel origin stories.So many worlds, so little time. Infinite possibilities, creating infinite realities. Long have I watched Marc Spector cheat death in the name of the Egyptian god Khonshu. But . . . what if Moon Knight was subsumed by a Venom from another universe?Marc Spector is used to voices in his head. He’s used to waking up disoriented, unsure what his alters, Jake and Steven, might have been up to. He’s used to having an Egyptian god command him as Moon Knight, his avatar of justice and revenge. What he’s not used to: staring into the face of a literal out-of-body doppelgänger. Another Marc crash-landed from an alternate reality, begging for help? Yeah, that is a new one, even for him. But before he can really process anything beyond Khonshu’s incessant alarm bells, it becomes clear this other Marc didn’t travel solo. Some kind of alien—a symbiote named Venom—casts off its current host and begins to merge with Marc, forcing Khonshu away from his chosen champion and claiming Moon Knight for its own. The formerly stark white suit that struck fear into the hearts of criminals now looms as a jet-black shadow over friends and foes alike. Marc’s lethal prowess, fueled by Venom’s penchant for violence, carves a trail of chaos as they comb through the vigilante’s torturous past. Yet a sliver of hope remains: Finally free of Venom’s control, the other Jake and Steven regain consciousness to find themselves in a strange reality, without their Marc but with a strange bird-like god insisting that “they will do.” Desperate, lost, and running out of time, the pair make a deal: become Khonshu’s new avatar to track Venom’s path of destruction, save this universe, and just maybe figure out a way back to their own.

Star Wars: Brotherhood
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker must stem the tide of the raging Clone Wars and forge a new bond as Jedi Knights in a high-stakes adventure set just after the events of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: USA Today The Clone Wars have begun. Battle lines are being drawn throughout the galaxy. With every world that joins the Separatists, the peace guarded by the Jedi Order is slipping through their fingers. After an explosion devastates Cato Neimoidia, the jewel of the Trade Federation, the Republic is blamed and the fragile neutrality of the planet is threatened. The Jedi dispatch Obi-Wan Kenobi, one of the Order’s most gifted diplomatic minds, to investigate the crime and maintain the balance that has begun to dangerously shift. As Obi-Wan investigates with the help of a heroic Neimoidian guard, he finds himself working against the Separatists who hope to draw the planet into their conspiracy—and senses the sinister hand of Asajj Ventress in the mists that cloak the planet. Amid the brewing chaos, Anakin Skywalker rises to the rank of Jedi Knight. Despite the mandate that Obi-Wan travel alone—and his former master’s insistence that he listen this time—Anakin’s headstrong determination means nothing can stop him from crashing the party, and bringing along a promising but conflicted youngling. Once a Padawan to Obi-Wan, Anakin now finds himself on equal—but uncertain—footing with the man who raised him. The lingering friction between them increases the danger for everyone around them. The two knights must learn a new way to work together—and they must learn quickly, to save Cato Neimoidia and its people from the fires of war. To overcome the threat they face they must grow beyond master and apprentice. They must stand together as brothers.

Vampire Weekend
From the New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Brotherhood"A love letter to the power of music, this thoughtful, humorous exploration of what constitutes living versus mere survival sees Chen (Light Years from Home) at the top of his game." -Publishers Weekly starred review"A strong emotional core carries Chen's (Light Years from Home, 2022) latest, which is ultimately about healing from old wounds and learning how to embrace life again after loss-even if you're dead." -BooklistBeing a vampire is far from glamorous…but it can be pretty punk rock.Everything you've heard about vampires is a lie. They can't fly. No murders allowed (the community hates that). And turning into a bat? Completely ridiculous. In fact, vampire life is really just a lot of blood bags and night jobs. For Louise Chao, it's also lonely, since she swore off family ages ago.At least she's gone to decades of punk rock shows. And if she can join a band of her own (while keeping her…situation under wraps), maybe she'll finally feel like she belongs, too.Then a long-lost teenage relative shows up at her door. Whether it's Ian's love of music or his bad attitude, for the first time in ages, Louise feels a connection.But as Ian uncovers Louise's true identity, things get dangerous-especially when he asks her for the ultimate favor. One that goes beyond just family…one that might just change everything vampires know about life and death forever.
