More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
An alien race known only as the Kh'thon appears in the skies over Earth, claiming that they are the former occupants and rightful owners of the planet. Their ships are manned by baseline Homo sapiens, supposedly descendants of the early hominids who served the Kh'thon on Earth, countless millennia ago. The will of the Kh'thon is enforced by the Exemplar, humans augmented with a dizzying array of powers, each of them the match of any one of the X-Men. The Kh'thon claim to be responsible for the presence of the x-gene in human DNA, included so that they could breed whatever traits or abilities they required of their servants. No one is sure whether to believe the aliens' claims or not, but given the amount of firepower at their disposal, it hardly matters one way or the other. It is up to the X-Men, working in uneasy collaboration with Royal Marine Colonel Alysande Stuart, to find a way to repel the Kh'thon invasion of Earth, before terrestrial humans and mutants alike are enslaved by alien masters.

Best of the X-men Novels
21 May 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Yay! Finally an awesome X-men novel. This one is the best of the recent X-men novels. Chris Roberson does a great job in writing an X-men story that will entertain both old fans and new comers. I'm glad that Marvel is getting better writers on these books and am looking forward to reading Matt Hughes take on Wolverine.

A good book
6 Jun 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The original rulers of Earth land on the planet and attempt to take it over. These people have the same powers as the X-men, and they can manipulate their servents DNA, allowing them to possess whatever ability their masters think they need.
These original inhabitants of Earth claim that they developed the X-Gene and that they can use it more effectively than the mutants of Earth, but of course, the X-Men and the other mutants of Earth were able to overpower their invaders by using their genious, as well as brute force. This book read just like any other X-Men novel or comic book, and it was just as typical as any other novel or comic book. It was a good read, and I would recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed the comics.

A great adventure story.

I really enjoyed this book because it stayed true to the characters and the Marvel universe. The best part, Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) along with all your favorite X-Men are in this story fighting off an alien invasion. I won't give the plot away but the story is smart, action packed and it has some funny moments as well.
