As it turns out, I have not one book coming out on Monday, but two. The first, of course, is my Halo novel, New Blood. The second is Marvel: The Avengers: Battle Against Ultron, which features this snazzy cover here.
Battle Against Ultron is part of the DK Reads series of books, meant for young readers just getting started on their own. It’s designed for kids ages five and up, and it features entries about each of the main Avengers, their headquarters, their gear and powers, and one of their greatest foes, the murderous robot Ultron.
It’s 128 pages, and you can find it both in an inexpensive softcover or a much more durable hardcover.
I had a great time working with Sadie Smith and the rest of the team at DK on this one, and I can’t wait to give a copy to my youngest nephews, Luke and Matteo. If you have any kids around who are intrigued by the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron film, this book would be perfect for them too–whether they’re old enough to see the movie or not.
