Rogue Trooper: Blighty Valley - by Garth Ennis (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

An all-new standalone Rogue Trooper graphic novel, written by Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher), perfect for readers unfamiliar with the character and for old fans of Rogue Trooper's classic adventures in 2000 AD.

Nu Earth: a whole planet sacrificed to war. A chemical and nuclear nightmare, fit only for the endless battle between Nort and Souther forces - and for the Rogue Trooper, sole survivor of the Genetic Infantry, hunting the traitor who sold out his regiment. Together with the bio-chipped "ghosts" of his dead comrades, Rogue walks the wasted lands in search of their killer, determined to see justice done.

But a war world on the edge of an unstable black hole holds terrors beyond the bounds of sanity, and now the last GI finds himself wrenched away from his bloody quest. Hurled across reality to another world - another war - Rogue is marooned in an ancient conflict no less terrible than his own. With no way home and unknown dangers at every turn, the lone warrior must do what he was bred to do: and fight like hell for his very survival.

Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys) and Patrick Goddard (Judge Dredd, Nina Petrova and the Angels of Death) present a brand new tale featuring the classic 2000 AD character, blending sci-fi action and historical adventure in unforgettable, action-packed drama.
