Product Description:
TAKE A STAND.
The world has acquired a lethal new weapon against X-gene mutants, whose superhuman powers separate them–for better, for worse, forever–from ordinary mortals. Now, for the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their godlike abilities, though their powers may isolate and alienate them, or surrender them and become human. The mutant antibody is called a cure, but its invention may trigger a struggle that destroys every living soul on Earth.
As Magneto declares all-out war against humanity and its dreaded cure, the U.S. president mobilizes the military. But it is Charles Xavier and the X-Men who truly must brace for the ultimate battle, for they alone are powerful enough to determine the outcome.
Lessons of the past are useless in the coming life-and-death conflict, as new players–mutants possessing unprecedented, unearthly skills– take center stage. With so many joining forces with Magneto’s evil Brotherhood, the X-Men will face their ultimate test against an enemy whose forces far outnumber their own.
Now, as the world trembles, the Phoenix slowly rises. . .

The back story on jean grey was interesting. But, EVERY character at some time or another says the word "bub" i didn't think it would be annoying at first, but after the 18th time reading that word, it really got to me. Especially as it's not limited to just the one character, they ALL say it...

For those of you who need to know what the character is thinking at a particular moment and everything else that did not/cannot translate to the silver screen, this book is for you!

This is really quite good, and Claremont throws in some things of interest.
An extended danger room sequence, and Lockheed hovering in the shadows in Kitty's room. Green uniform mentions, and other little tidbits like President David Cockrum sketching when stressed.
Lucas Bishop is a cop in District X, where one of the cure clinics is located.
You get to see what many of the characters are thinking.
Bobby melts down at the end of the fight, leaving ... Read More

The war between mutants and man is coming. Some are standing with Magneto including Jean Grey who is back from the dead. While other are with Professor X and the X-men. Caught in the middle of all this are a group men who have created a drug to destory the X-gene. Sides must be choosen. Heros will fall and not all will live the end of the last stand.
Okay I have to confess that I had this book for about a year before I read and I only read it after I had saw the movie, a movie that I really didn't ... Read More

If you are a mild fan of the X-men, as I am, you may be thinking of picking up this novel to get a little more back story. While this book adds quite a bit to the movie in the way of added material, the language in this book is awful. Seriously, why couldn't I read more than 3 pages with getting hit with some kind of profanity? It's just stupid. And it isn't just minor swear words either. If what was in this book was in the movie, it almost certainly would have been rated R. If the language wasn't such a ... Read More
