Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider reboot was met with critical success when it released in 2013, topping sales charts and shattering the franchise's previously held records. It introduced audiences to a younger, more inexperienced but relatable Lara Croft, whose trials forged her from a naive student to the capable explorer we had known her to be. But fans won't have to wait until late 2015's Rise of the Tomb Raider to discover what happens next.
Lara's journey continues in Tomb Raider: The Ten Thousand Immortals, a canon novel set just after the events on Yamatai island. This new adventure sees Lara struggling to make sense of her bloody past all the while racing to rescue a troubled friend. It was written by New York Times bestselling author Dan Abnett and Nik Vincent, and is now available in paperback and e-book format. The official synopsis is below.
"Lara Croft wants only to put her horrifying ordeal on Yamatai island behind her. Her modest wish shatters as she's plunged into a frantic race to save Sam. Desperate for a remedy, Lara searches for anything that could help her. A wisp of hope arising from a myth gives Lara purpose: the story of an ancient and mysterious artifact that could heal her friend, and possibly help explain the supernatural events she witnessed on Yamatai.
However, Lara is not alone in her pursuit of the treasure. A nefarious magnate, a shadow society, and lethal henchmen will stop at nothing to exploit the powerful relic for their own ends. The hunt drives Lara across the globe, through a twisted web of conspiracy, suspicious contacts, and life-or-death intrigue, as she seeks salvation for her friend and the truth behind the legendary talisman."
