Titan Books Ltd Marvel's Secret Invasion Prose Novel
Book SynopsisA shapeshifting alien race invades the Marvel Universe in this exciting re-imagining of the bestselling comic book event from the author of one of its original tie-ins. WHO DO YOU TRUST? The shapeshifting alien race known as the Skrulls have infiltrated every branch of the Marvel Universe, from S.H.I.E.L.D., to the Avengers, and even interplanetary defence force S.W.O.R.D. As the New Avengers watch leader of the Hand, Elektra, transform into a Skrull after her death, they come to realise that an attack is coming, one that has been planned for many years. From heroes to villains, anyone could be a Skrull in disguise. Uncertain of who to trust, the team tries desperately to unite against an unseen foe. But it is too late. The invasion has begun. A crashed ship in the Savage Land. A prison break at the Raft. Thunderbolts Mountain under attack. And an armada of Skrull ships approaching Earth. Scattered and hopeless, heroes and villains alike must team up to fight a war they never saw coming, the fallout of which will change the face of the Marvel Universe as we know it. BASED ON THE BESTSELLING MARVEL EVENT BY BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS AND LEINIL FRANCIS YU.Trade ReviewPRAISE FOR THE AUTHOREasily my favorite thing to spring out of Secret Invasion so far. – IGN, on Cornell’s Captain Britain and the MI:13 runThis book is a strong follow-up, a good standalone story, and an excellent read for fans of dark urban fantasy. - Publishers Weekly on The Severed StreetsNo one balances the lighthearted and the unnerving more deftly than Cornell. --Daniel Abraham, co-author of The ExpanseAn elegant, elegiac examination of identity, fictionality, God and humanity itself--but also a very, very funny story about a crew of dopes. I love them all, except Bob. (In actuality Bob sort of broke my heart!) --Tamsyn Muir, author of the Locked Tomb seriesA scream disguised as a giggle. Reading Rosebud is like going on an absurdist romp through a sunlit meadow with Douglas Adams, only to suddenly realize that you're deep in the forest and ol' Dougie has just slipped a knife between your ribs. --Peter Watts, author the Firefall series and the Rifters seriesCutting-edge science fiction from a writer at the very top of their game. --Gareth L. Powell, author of Embers of WarA true voyage of the imagination, simultaneously mind-wrenching and laugh-out-loud funny. --Adrian TchaikovskyPaul Cornell re-imagines the classic SF idea of first contact and turns it upside down and inside out--and then twists it into a multi-dimensional thing of wonder. --Michael Cassutt, writer for Z-Nation and co-author of The Astronaut MakerHe's gone and written a novel too! I suspect it will be just as good as everything else he's written, and that's not fair at all. - George R. R. Martin, author of Game of Thrones.An irresistible blend of guns, gangsters, cops and monsters - Ben AaronovitchAt once epic and terribly intimate. This is the story of a village, not a city, and all the more powerful for that; not all big fantasy needs an urban setting. Beautifully written, perfectly cruel, and ultimately kind. This is Cornell at the height of his craft. — Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of the InCryptid and October Daye seriesRich in charm... local politics and witchcraft writ small and personal, but large in consequence. [Cornell] adeptly describes the emotion of magic; its effects and internal ignition of wonder. The feel of being exposed to magic for the first time and the feel of doing magic and having it done to you have never been better described in any story. — Bill Willingham, author of Fables and Down the Mysterly RiverMasterfully creepy and sinister, all the more so for taking place in the beautifully drawn English countryside. — Jenny Colgan, author of Doctor Who: Into the NowhereCornell brilliantly delineates not only the insular milieu of rural England but the brutal materialism of Thatcher's Britain, in a slow-building novel of retribution and cycles of abuse. Superb. --The GuardianThis is what horror ought to be: primal, personal, and powerful. Gloriously gutting. Chalk is like nothing I've ever read before, or am ever likely to read again. Well, you can just come over here and rock me to sleep tonight.--New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuireExcellent, petrifying and awful in all the right ways... Hand over mouth in parts. Strongly recommended. --Kieron Gillen, author of The Wicked & The Divine and PhonogramRaw and dark... powerful and inventive. Terrific. --Kurt Busiek, Harvey and Eisner Award winning creator of Astro CityHoly Shit! I love this fucking book! This book kept me up way too late reading it, and then I couldn't sleep the rest of the night. OMG what a book. Intense and horrific and gorgeous. Damn, dude. I mean... damn. -- Diana Rowland, author of the White Trash Zombie series.Chalk is a raw, blistering, horror-ride through the hell of adolescence and the despair of abuse. It is honest and hard-hitting, often uncomfortable to read, yet wonderfully crafted. Gritty realism rubs up against dark folk horror, and the result is a unique literary experience you won't forget in a hurry. -- Gary McMahon, author of The Concrete Grove and The Grieving StonesChalk is a chilling, compelling tale of youthful violence and ancient evil. --Lucy A. Snyder, author of While the Black Stars BurnHarrowing, astonishing and beautiful. Read it instantly. -- Laurie Penny, author of Everything Belongs to the FutureA pitch-perfect blend of familiar cruelties, pop culture and otherworldly horror, Cornell's stand-alone novel has a power all its own. --RT Top Pick, 4 1/2 StarsChalk bleeds atmosphere... the type that gets under your skin... a creeping horror, the ancient meshing with the modern, a sickening sense of dread cresting like a dark wave that, sooner or later, must hit the shore... --Forbidden Planet InternationalChalk is a hugely evocative novel... one of the books of the year.

Tsujimura is a master at projecting these young anxieties onto the page, offering hints and shadows and silhouettes of what the world might be like once we finally grow up, and how difficult it is to take that first step.” —Tor.com“A gorgeous, wrenching fantasy that lays bare the anxieties and desperation – as well as small triumphs – of adolescence.” —Locus“In a world where there is so much untruth, so much altered reality, so many superficial existences forming even more superficial relationships, this book turns back the clock and reminds us of what is real, and what truly matters: compassion and kindness, the strength in our bonds, and how we can find those right beside us.” —The Yorkshire Times“A moving, reflective and surprising novel . . . Anyone who has ever struggled with feeling isolated, had difficulties at school, or had mental health struggles, will find this novel to be a cleansing balm.” —Culturefly“[A] respectful, moving novel about teenage bullying in the Tokyo suburbs . . . Tsujimura shows how easily misunderstandings and miscommunications can escalate, and treats everyone—even the bullies—with nuance.” —The Japan Times“An innovative and tender blend of social commentary and magical realism.” —The Japan Society Review “Genuinely affecting . . . a story about collaboration, empathy and sharing truths, a modern, all-ages fairy tale that should appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman and Studio Ghibli animations.” —The Financial Times“Hopeful and heartbreakingly sweet without ever being saccharine, this character-focused tale of finding unexpected community unfolds remarkably gently, eschewing a typical Western plot structure. Readers will leave with their faith in humanity restored.” —Publishers Weekly’s “Best Books of 2022”“Part Miyazaki fairytale, part teen romance, it’s strange and beautiful – imagine the offspring of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and The Virgin Suicides.” —The Guardian
