Borderlands: Debt or Alive (The Official Prequel Novel)

Discover what awaited the thieving sister duo, Fiona and Sasha, after they opened the Vault of the Traveler in this new Borderlands adventure.

Dive into a new adventure with Fiona and Sasha, in this sequel to the critically acclaimed game Tales from the Borderlands.

Fiona and Sasha have struck gold. Better than gold: a limited-edition Typhon DeLeon Vaultander™ doll.

This molded lump of plastic is worth more than some planets. All they’ve got to do is find a nerd with deep pockets and they’ll be set for life. And they know just the nerd.

Enter Eden-5, home to an equally bloodthirsty mix of billionaires and bandits. To survive long enough to offload the loot, Fiona and Sasha will have to use every trick in the book (plus other tricks not found in books). We’re talking hijinks, lowjinks, every jinks.

But just as the deal’s about to go down, a certain Mechromancer crashes the party, looking to murder the collector.

This is not the cushy retirement Fiona was promised.

Review

“[S]cattered through the work are a number of amusing footnotes, very much in the style of Sir Terry Pratchett, that lend an extra bit of the background to whatever is happening at the moment. There is a playfulness throughout Borderlands: Debt or Alive, which is often at odds with the extreme violence and general mayhem that is going on, but it is this that captures the spirit of the Borderlands games – and captures it brilliantly. The same dark humour, the same use of violence as a way of self expression, the same banter between the characters; it is all brilliantly Borderlands, and I loved every page.“  —The Xbox Hub
