X-Men: Empire's End

A Cosmic Adventure with the Fate of the Galaxy at Stake!

Professor X, the X-Men’s founder and mentor, and Shi’ar Empress Lilandra have been forced to love each other from afar—he remaining on earth to lead the X-Men, and she with the Shi’ar to run the empire. Now, Lilandra must turn to the X-Men for help against a threat to her domain—and possibly the earth as well.

Shi’ar scientists have learned of a creature that devours galaxies and is heading toward Shi’ar space. Beset by a panicking people and by several assignation attempts, Lilandra calls upon the X-Men for their assistance, for the galaxy-eater will target the earth next—but the price for stopping the galaxy-eater may be higher than the X-Men expect. They must use a device that increases their powers a thousand-fold to drive the creature back, a process that could destroy them—or make them insane with power!

A new novel by New York Time’s best-seller Diane Duane, author of the Venom Factor, The Lizard Sanction, and the Octopus Agenda.
