Voltron: Year One (Book Market
Solicit)

Before Arus. Before Voltron. They were Space Explorer
Squadron #686.

Soon, they will be known as the legendary Voltron
Force---Keith, Lance, Hunk, Sven, and Pidge---five young men entrusted with five
powerful robot lions and the responsibility of defending the universe from
unimaginable evil. Now, they are one of many Space Explorers under the command
of the Galaxy Alliance, tasked with keeping the Earth safe and the skies clear
in a universe growing more and more dangerous every day. They're the best
central command has to offer, and have never once failed a
mission.

Everything changes in a flash, and Commander Sven, already
hammered by persistent feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy, finds himself in
the middle of a conspiracy that reaches to the top of the Galaxy Alliance. All
the while he continues to be plagued by nightmares, convinced that he'll make a
critical mistake that'll lead to the horrible deaths of his friends. During
these critical weeks, we delve fully into the character and motivations of
future Blue Lion pilot, Sven, and more specifically, the physical and emotional
toll this intense level of responsibility takes on a man who doesn't consider
himself worthy of it. When the pressure on him intensifies, he pursues a number
of increasingly desperate measures that just might bring these fears to terrible
life.
