Customer Reviews

A must read for anyone that has ever heard of the X-Men

'The idea of the team being split up is so over done' thats what I thought when I started this trilogy, along with, 'I don't think that the X-Men in space is a good idea' and 'haven't we heard enough out of Magneto all ready?'. Well after I was through with the first book I was begging for the second! And this book is certainly as high quality as the first. The way he analyses the characters and their personalities is absolutely spectacular! I thought that I would die when I finished this book, the anticipation for the third has gotten me to read the first two again!I tip my hat Christopher Golden on his stunning accomplishments!

very good!

This book was, like the first one, fantastic. Again, great characterization and great plotline. Well, I didn't really like the "X-Men in Space" idea, done way too many times, but all the scenes on Manhattan were great.

Excelent End to an Excelent Series

You can't put it down. Are the X-Men going to get defeated? Can they stop Magneto?? You gotta read on to see what's next!! Excelent Book! Get all three in the series!

The best!

This is a great book! Although it contains the cool battles you would expect, it also portrays the human side of the X-Men and their enemies. It is definitley the best of the trilogy. Even if you have never heard of the X-Men, I recommend you read this series.

Great book...looking forward to the next!

Sanctuary is a page turner that kept me involved throughout the entire book. It was easy to read and easier to understand. This is a must-read book if you are an X-Men fan! I am anxiously looking forward to the issuing of the final book in the trilogy
