Book Description

X-Men (Ibooks) June 1, 2000
Long ago, the alien Quistalian leadership ordered its agent, Lucifer, to conquer Earth. A young Professor X stopped him, but the victory cost him the use of his legs. Now Professor X claims he has evidence of a massive secret Quistalian invasion plan. To stop it he orders the X-Men on a series of urgent missions to three abandoned Quistalian facilities?one in the Andes, one in central Africa, and one in Antarctica. The purpose is to seize key pieces of alien technology from the scattered sites and assemble that technology into a defense weapon to stop the Quistalian invasion.

But is the invasion a lie? Does Professor X have a different, hidden, agenda?

Normal human Jeffrey Saunders seems to have the answers to the troubling questions of Professor X's bizarre behavior. But his answers don?t make things easier, if anything, they make things worse for the X-Men.

Meanwhile, the countdown for the invasion continues . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST X-BOOKS I'VE EVER READ!, July 18, 2000
By 
clarice levin (New York, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: X-Men: Shadows of the Past (X-Men (Ibooks)) (Hardcover)
Well, I wasn't sure what to expect when I first spotted this book, but the great Steranko cover sure caught my attention, and I knew that Michael Jan Friedman certainly knew his way around the STAR TREK universe. But after reading it, I can definitely say it's a great book! Alien invasions, superheroics, and the guy who crippled Professor X in the first place? Outstanding work all around!

4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and tastful, January 11, 2003
By 
tgr8me (Aberdeen,WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: X-Men: Shadows of the Past (X-Men (Ibooks)) (Hardcover)
I absolutly LOVED this book! The plotline is creative and exiting,the personalitys of the characters are wonderfully depicted and true to the origanles. I love that some of the story is told from the prof's point of view,because it shows that he is only human. It shows that he hates being pitied for his crippled legs,that he feels sorrow that he has to send his students into the field and can't go with them,that he loves all his students and is as proud of their accomplishments as a father.
This book doesn't have much background info,but it's still a delightful read. Thumbs up!
