Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets: The Official Movie Novelization

Description

The official novelization of the blockbuster movie, written and directed by visionary Luc Besson (Lucy, The Fifth Element) Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are special operatives for the government of the human territories charged with maintaining order throughout the universe. Valerian has more in mind than a professional relationship with his partner- blatantly chasing after her with propositions of romance. But his extensive history with women, and her traditional values, drive Laureline to continuously rebuff him. Under directive from their Commander (Clive Owen), Valerian and Laureline embark on a mission to the breath-taking intergalactic city of Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis comprised of thousands of different species from all four corners of the universe.

"if you found the plots hard to follow, or if you skipped the film entirely and just like a good science fiction or fantasy escape, this novelization is worthy of consideration" - Borg.com
