Lilandra and the Shi'Ar have a big problem. A creature that eats stars is headed their way, and if does too much damage to the core of the galaxy, good-bye galaxy. This helps stir up political unrest and increase the assassination attempt rate upon the Empress, so she asks Charles for help. The Shi'Ar have a new power amplification technology that will amplify the X-Men's abilities to Silver Surfer type levels for very brief periods of time, so they have a shot at stopping it. Lilandra won't risk the Imperial Guard, because she knows they are loyal, and watching her back, even if large parts of her Council, are not. The problem with this technology is what if you like it too much - they have already had one Dark Phoenix episode. A very cosmic level space opera X-Men story. 3.5 out of 5
One of the best Star Trek writers visits the Marvel Universe
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Diane Duane is one of the best Star Trek writers, and here she once again uses her great talent for bringing well known characters to life. I've read and enjoyed all of the Marvel novels, but I would rank Empire's End at the top of the list. I'd also strongly recommend Diane Duane's three Spider-Man books (The Venom Factor, The Lizard Sanction, and The Octopus Agenda), as well as her Star Trek books, especially Doctor's Orders. Diane Duane brings her readers into the minds of her characters, and therefore brings the characters into her reader's hearts.
EXCELLENT

I gave this book 5 stars because it had a well done plot
excellent book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This was an excellent book, filled with suspense and surprising plot twists, and an interesting concept that has the X-Men thirsting for more and more power. However, it was slightly confusing also because of the many scientific explanations and references.
