Sentinels: The Dark Crusade: Sentinels Superhero Novels, Vol 8

With 5 new full-page illustrations and cover art by series artist Chris Kohler!

Masquerading as the heroic "Law," the arch-villain known as the Black Terror has seized control of a vast starfleet and set out to conquer the mighty Kur-Bai Empire.
Trapped on opposite sides of a galactic civil war, Esro and Mondrian fight alongside the Elites, Shiva battles inner demons, and a weakened Vanadium finds himself held captive, while the Red Star pursues his own mysterious agenda.
Now, as war engulfs the galaxy, Pulsar and Wendy must decide on whose side they will fight. Will they join with Earth's alien foes, or will they trust their greatest enemy, even as he launches... THE DARK CRUSADE!

"Stellar characterization, larger-than-life stories, and, most-importantly, superheroes who aren't ashamed to act heroic... No one, either in comics or prose, is doing superheroes better than Van Allen Plexico." -Percival Constantine, author of the Vanguard series

"Grandiose storytelling done with gusto and panache." --Ron Fortier, Pulp Fiction Reviews

"Nobody--not even Abnett and Lanning-- is doing cosmic superheroes as well as Van Allen Plexico is doing them. Period." --Barry Reese, creator of the Rook
