X-Men - Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Dean

A novelization of the major motion picture!
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-seeks 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 . . .
