'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.'

Notes
-
Part of a series of novels based on the successful 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy. (While the comic-book figures known as the Guardians of the Galaxy pre-date the film, both in their original 1969 incarnation and in the 2008 re-incarnation from which the film was drawn, the books in this series are based specifically on the characters of the film.)
