Borderlands #2: Unconquered by Shirley, John. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9781439198483.

An original novel set in the universe of the award-winning video game! Pandora is a brutal world where survival is never guaranteed. But when General Gynella—a ruthless warlord who calls herself a goddess—launches a campaign to conquer the Borderlands with an army of Psycho Soldiers, chaos threatens to consume the planet. Using the twisted science of Dr. Vialle, Gynella bends bandits and outcasts to her will. But four unlikely heroes stand in her way. Roland, the battle-hardened soldier. Mordecai, the deadliest shot in the system. Brick, a mountain of muscle who’d rather smash first and ask questions never. And Daphne Kuller—once the galaxy’s most feared assassin, now stranded on Pandora and far more dangerous than anyone realizes. Their mission begins with dreams of striking it rich on Eridium, but Pandora has other plans. Deadly creatures stalk the wasteland, enemies wait around every corner, and Gynella’s forces are closing in. To survive, they’ll need firepower, luck, and each other.
