Nova: Centurion - by Jed MacKay (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Spinning out of IMPERIAL, Rich Rider returns as Nova -- cosmic hero for hire!

Got a problem? Nova can help -- for a price! With the Xandarian Worldmind, the sentient repository of an entire extinct people's culture and history, relying on regular (and expensive) energy infusions, Richard Rider is offering his services for hire. A deep-space drifter weighed down with the truth of the terrible lie upon which the new Galactic Union was built, the Human Rocket is a corps of one. But how long can he keep his hands clean handling dirty money? Taking a job for the gangsters of the Kree/Skrull War, Nova hunts a mysterium thief. But business becomes personal when the trail leads to an old nemesis, and the opportunity to settle old scores going back to the Annihilation War becomes worth more than any reward. Enter the murderer of untold Nova Corpsmen: Ravenous! Featuring the return of fan-favorite mercenary Cammi!

About the Author

Canadian writer Jed MacKay has built an extensive list of credits at Marvel -- including such titles as Edge of Spider-Geddon, Infinity Wars: Ghost Panther, Daughters of the Dragon and Man Without Fear. His career caught fire in 2019 with Black Cat, a character-defining phenomenon. MacKay has built on that success with his highly entertaining take on Taskmaster; a high-profile relaunch of Moon Knight; and Death of Doctor Strange, which led Clea to become the new Sorcerer Supreme in Strange. With his profile continuing to rise, MacKay took on two of Marvel's biggest titles, Avengers and X-Men, while helming his first big crossover event in Blood Hunt.
