Squirrel Girl: Universe by Tristan Palmgren

DEFIANCE IS TREASON. TREASON IS DEATH.

A siege is laid against the last resistance to the Senate's rule. As the battle rages, a commander, a soldier, and a rebel will decide how far they are willing to go for victory.

The commander: Marcus is forced to choose between destroying the rebel forces and liberating his legion. He must face the true cost of being a leader. And an oppressor.

The soldier: Agrippa sets his sights on glory to fill the deepening void within him. He discovers that the price of fame might not just be paid in blood, it might be paid by his heart.

The rebel: Silvara joins the rebel forces to fight against the legions who would see her family dead. While she dreams of being a warrior, she finds her sharpest weapon is seduction. But to defeat the Empire, she'll have to betray the young man who now has her heart.

Inspired by the harsh world of ancient Rome, listeners will be obsessed with this martial tale of fiery romance, friendship, and enmity. Told from three points of view, Tarnished Empire is filled with twists you'll never see coming but will keep you listening all night.

"Palmgren manages once again to merge the world of comics and prose fiction perfectly in that their story reads like a comic in terms of action and adventure but has the wonderful add on of wider character development (we get to see what characters are thinking and feeling more clearly than in the comic verse) and the superb and frankly hilarious footnotes by our heroine, Squirrel Girl and her wonderful editor" -- What You Tolkien About
"Squirrel Girl: Universe is not your normal super hero storyOther than the inclusion of some super heroes, I wouldn't even include it in that genre. Instead, Tristan Palmgren has tried to do something different, and has crafted a weird and wonderful science fiction story that at times feels like it has more in common with something like The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy than it does your average Spider-Man adventure." -- Trans-Scribe
"It’s wild, thoughtful, exciting, and of course, hilarious. The journey it invites you on contains the same level of cosmic wonder as virtually any Marvel movie, and whilst it might occupy one of the more outlandish segments of the Marvel universe, this novel is no less substantial for it." -- The Book Network
“This is Squirrel Girl at peak cleverness, peak brilliance, and peak hilarity. It's a thrilling adventure filled with big ideas explored in fun ways –Tristan Palmgren has truly captured the soul of these characters.” -- Ryan North, author of the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl comics and the non-fiction book How To Take Over The World.
