Borderlands: Debt or Alive
In the official prequel novel to Tales From The Borderlands 2 by Gearbox and 2K Games, discover what happened to Fiona and Sasha after they entered the Vault, in this exclusive adventure tying directly into the new game.
The treasure of the vault unlimited possibilities, unspeakable power, untold riches…
Fiona finds herself faced with a choice, and she can only make one wish. How will she ever choos—You know what? Untold riches don’t sound so bad.
They are.
When Fiona and Sasha return to Pandora, equipped with only a limited-edition Typhon DeLeon Vaultlander™ doll probably worth more than the entire planet, it seems like their lives have not just turned a corner, but done a full 180 and skipped to the neighbouring galaxy. If they can sell this last piece of loot, they will be made for life. And Eden-5 is the only place with pockets deep enough.
This shiny new world run by billionaires instead of bandits is no less deadly though, and Fiona and Sasha will have to use everything they have learned to thrive and survive, and possibly maybe dabble in a tiny little bit of planetary revolution. Trouble is brewing below the glamorous exterior of Eden-5 and when a certain Mechromancer arrives at the party, ready to murder the collector buying the doll, all hell is about to break loose. This is not the cushy retirement Fiona was promised.

somehow got this book almost a whole month before its release date and i gotta say, i am VERY happy i got to read this thing a little earlier
considering ive (attempted) to read the previous borderlands books and thought they were kinda trash, this book is an absolute Treat for any borderlands fan!! highly entertaining, genuinely funny to the point i was laughing out loud at some parts, emotional moments that i wasnt expecting but loved all the same, and development of characters we already know and love
gaige is absolutely my fave character in this franchise so im Very Happy to see her again, especially being written by the mind who created her which makes all of her dialogue sososo fun to see
the writing style is pretty simple and easy-to-read, but i wasnt expecting grandiose, flowing prose in a video game spin-off novel so that is more than okay by me
overall, if you arent a fan of the franchise you might be confused at some points in the story/development, but if you Are a fan this is absolutely worth picking up :]
EDIT: actually i do have One issue with this book, and its the fact it contains a pretty glaring, and reoccuring continuity error. [POTENTIAL SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT] historically, Holloway (the main villain of this book) has only ever been known as marcies dad. this is confirmed in both borderlands 2 AND 3, where you find an echo on promethea from him advertising his robot empire. in This book, the only Holloway parent we meet, or even hear about, is Countess Holloway who is marcies mother. the dad is never mentioned and its acted like he never existed which..... is very confusing and i have no idea Why this was done. what are you doing/planning, gearbox??
