Explanation As Books X-Men: The Legacy Quest Trilogy: Book 1
Hank McCoy -- the X-Men's Beast -- made himself a guinea pig in a desperate attempt to find a cure for the deadly Legacy Virus. His gamble succeeded. Now his blood is a living serum that can save countless lives. Unfortunately, the Beast is also a prisoner of Selene, the dread Black Queen of the New York branch of the Hellfire Club and she is literally bleeding him dry in order to further her own mad quest for power and wealth. The X-Men, and their uneasy ally, Sebastian Shaw, the mutant Black King of the Hong Kong branch of the Hellfire Club, are locked in a race against time to defeat Selene and free the Beast. But to their shock, they have discovered that Selene has found a way to turn time itself into a weapon against them. Meanwhile, Sebastian Shaw and the mysterious menace known as Mutant X, pursue a different agenda -- one that if it succeeds, will place the Legacy Virus serum in the hands of the most dangerous mutant in the world!Mention Books Concering X-Men: The Legacy Quest Trilogy: Book 1

I read this years ago when I was a teenager and recently felt the urge to start re-collecting the X-men novels. X-men in general was a big theme of my childhood - helped me through some difficult teenage years in particular. So...to this book... I was pleased to read a book where Storm actually got to do a bit more than (in my opinion) usual. I loved the fight between her and Scribe. Basically Scribe calls Storm a bitch (yes there is a bit of adult language in this book) so Storm punches her inI found myself enjoying this book more than I thought I would, which surprised me. It was written back when Marvel was trying to create a "cohesive universe" in the publishing world with its books. Some of the books published during that time were also said to take place around or just after certain storylines in the comics as well. This is one of those books; it is set after X-Men vol. 2 #87 (which probably helps explain why Psylocke, Angel, Gambit, Kitty Pryde, Colossus, and Jubilee were not
My introduction to the X-Men was via watching the original celluloid trilogy well after its theatrical run; seriously, I didn't even see the first film until at least 2007. Since then, I've watched some of the other films, as well as the entire '90's animated series on DVD, and I've also read right many of the comics, both the old-school ones reprinted as Classic X-Men, and the new ones put together in omnibuses that I found at libraries in my area. Yes, I have read many of the print novels
I LOVE X-men. It used to be the only thing me and one of my other friends would talk about when we were together. I have read this book many, many times. I just wish I had the other two as well.
Steve Lyons is a science fiction writer, best known for writing television tie-ins of Doctor Who for BBC Books, and previously, Virgin. The earliest of these was Conundrum in 1994, and his most recent was 2005's The Stealers of Dreams. He has also written material for Star Trek tie-ins, as well as original work.
The author did a good job of jumping right into action and explaining events that led up to this book so I did not feel like I was lost. There are a lot of characters to keep straight and again, the author creates a story around each one so that you are not flipping back the pages trying to figure out which characters are which. I like the story line and the moral struggles the characters go through.
