A Great Novel for Fans of the Comic, August 15, 2003
This novel brings the magic of the comic to simple words. While some of the action moments loose from having no pictures, the gains of only words make for great reading. Proffessor Arnold Bocklin has discovered the specific gene for mutation, and a way to remove it, albeit with a high mortality rate. Now, with the probable passing of a bill that calls for forcing medical procedures, the X-Men have to do something, before they are all forcibly changed to humans or dead. Of course, becoming human isn't such a bad thing to some mutants, especially Rogue, who is torn between desperately wanting to lead a normal life and kiss Gambit, and staying a mutant with the joys of family the X-Men bring. However, the choice is torn from her as a plan to locate the labs goes awry. An excellent sub-plot follows a group of kids, as they try to escape from agents planning to test the process on them. This novel is excellent, especially for fans of the Gambit-Rogue romance. Scenes of the two of the together abound, including Remy distraught over his lady-love.
