X-Men: Empire's End

By: Diane Duane, Marvel

Narrated by: Piper Goodeve

Professor X, the X-Men's founder and mentor, and Shi'ar Empress Lilandra have been forced to love each other from afar - he has to remain on Earth to lead the X-Men, and she must stay 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 assassination attempts, Lilandra calls upon the X-Men for their assistance, for the galaxy-eater will target 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 thousandfold to drive the creature back, a process that could destroy them - or make them insane with power!

Kinda boring..

I've listened to alot of Xmen stories
.....this one was slow.and boring the enemy is lack luster and it all just seems like a metaphor for addiction.

Ahhh!!! This was sooo good!!!!

Wow. I just finished it and wow. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Yes, my review comes after reading all of those reviews of its boringness. To those concerned with thar perspectives I say - the book is heavily astronomical theory for the first few chapter or so, then it shifts Into Shi'ar politics. While I LOVE action , I also understand that a story takes build up so I was able to navigate sections without lots of physical action quite well. My review also comes after listening to nearly every X-Men audiobook Audible has to offer AND after seeing Season 1 of X-men 97' >> which i think helped re-socialize me to the Shi'ar empire milieu. I will say that this book will challenge your imagination with many things and phenomena we dont usually get to imagine >> or rather, that is true in my case, but when you get it right, some of the scenes are just awe-inspiring. By chapter 7, I was so hooked, i iterally paused my workout in the gym so that I could focus on the imagery >> which I never do! This story is good stuff... would love to see it as a Disney funded movie/short film someday.

Shiar Xavier Heavy

This story has a fun plot but you best like Xavier centric stories. it is very space politics and Xavier/Lilandra specific.

boring

just really lame plot. long and drawn out, no excitement. would not have wasted a credit on this

Horrible

This book was hard to listen to and the plot was dull. The narrator changed the name of the beginning character. You can't tell who's talking and where the ONLY action scene starts or stops. The only reason why its 1 star was because Professer X shows slight emotion. Other then that the book was like watching grass grow.
