FIRST IN AN EXCITING NEW TRILOGY STARRING THE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR HEROES!

They live as outcasts, hated and feared by the very humanity they protect. They are mutants, born with strange and wonderful powers that set them apart from the rest of the human race. Under the tutelage of Professor Charles Xavier, they are more than mutants. They are - the X-Men.

Magneto, the X-Men's oldest, deadliest foe, has taken over a top secret government installation that houses the Sentinels, powerful mutant hunting robots. The X-Men must fight to keep this deadly technology out of Magento's hands. But the Acolytes, Magneto's fanatical mutant followers, stand between the X-Men and victory - a victory quickly slipping away. For a more ruthless enemy, the U.S. government, holds the X-Men responsible for the installation's takeover!

This electrifying new novel by acclaimed author Christopher Golden is the ultimate adventure that no X-fan should be without!

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
