Guardians of the Galaxy: Castaways is the thrilling new adventure featuring Marvel's swashbuckling heroes Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, and the ever-charming Star-Lord himself, Peter Quill. After a series of missions—some successful, others less so, and most nearly getting everyone killed—the Guardians of the Galaxy are at a breaking point when they crash-land on a strange planet. With no way to repair their ship, the frustrated Guardians go their separate ways, quickly discovering that the planet's inhabitants have never progressed past a medieval stage of development. Quill finds himself a favored member of a powerful duke's court (as well as a favorite of the duke's daughter), and life seems just fine under the circumstances . . . until the duchy comes under attack. When Quill reckons that their foe may be what's keeping the planet's civilization from advancing, he realizes that defeating it—with the Guardians' help—may be their only hope for getting off of that world. . . If he can find his friends in time.

David McDonald continues his series on the "Seasons of Christian Spirituality" by tackling Lent. This book contains forty daily readings and devotionals to help you process the gravity of Christ's sacrifice and of your sin. It's about helping you receive and be transformed by the remarkable power of Christ's gift and grace. It's about teaching you to carry a spotless heart through the borders of a stained past. It's about helping you stand up and shrug off the guilt for which you have already been forgiven. It's about experiencing joy and light and laughter because there's no longer any point to living in the dark.

Fresh from a covert mission, Captain America receives a message from Maria Hill written in a mysterious code that, once deciphered, enlists Cap to protect Katherine, a brilliant young computer scientist who has written a program that could revolutionize the way the internet works—for better or for worse. Uncertain who can be trusted, Captain America takes Katherine underground, going into hiding and eluding everyone from the country's top agencies to the world's most nefarious criminals. He'll go to any length to keep Katherine safe and ensure her program stays out of the wrong hands—even if it means going up against the country he has sworn to protect. Still only just grasping the technological advances of the era he has woken up in, one of Earth's mightiest heroes must now fight a battle over something he barely understands in order to protect a concept he knows all to well: freedom.
