X-men: a novelization

With more than 400 million copies sold worldwide, X-MEN is perhaps the most successful comic book series in history, consistently outselling classics such as Spider-Man "TM", Superman "RM", even Batman "RM". This summer, the first X-MEN major motion picture starring Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, Halle Berry, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and Ray Park will explode onto movie screens across the country. And the novel based on this blockbuster will be lining the shelves at bookstores...where X-MEN marks the spot!

Outcasts from society, the X-MEN are genetic mutants, born with superhuman powers, who harness their special abilities for the greater good. But the human race they fight to protect rejects and fears -- even hates -- them.

Not all mutants seek to protect mankind. One terrorist group -- led by the supremely powerful Magneto -- will seek to strike first. Battling against prejudice and agents of intolerance, the X-MEN must establish a peaceful coexistence between mutant and mankind or they will surely perish...
