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!… (más)

Diane Duane did some real homework with the way stars actually work and what makes them go nova before adding in a critter which would make Cthulhu pause in his tracks. Charles and his X-Men all shine here, but with the help of Shi'ar technology, they walk close to the edge of madness in their attempts to stop the star eater. Happily, all of them figure out pretty quickly this isn't the way to go and pull back, but there are a few hairy moments.

The only downside to this story is the romance between Charles and Lilandra, the Shi'ar Empress. Not that it's intrusive or anything, in fact it's understated nicely. However, there's also a romantic "rival" as chosen by Lilandra's ruling council who is an honorable Shi'ar and a self sacrificing one he save Lilandra's ship from a massive black hole at the end because reasons (he can't compete with Charles, of course, and knows it) ( )
