However, when he discovers that his parents have been kidnapped by anti-mutant extremists, the Purifiers, Victor's discipline and trust in the X-Men is strained to breaking point.

Sometimes I thought there were too many gaps without action, but when the action occurred it was worth the wait."</i>--Chris L. Owens<br><br><i>"Acceptance of those who are different has always been a big theme in X-Men stories, and I felt it was done really well here... I'd recommend giving this one a read."</i>--The Story Board<br><br><i>"Great character work is delivered over the course of a plot that starts off slowly, introducing characters, ideas and locations, then explodes into action and never lets up. MacNiven maintains a tone throughout that's brilliantly appropriate to this world - First Team really does feel like an X-Men story pulled straight from the Marvel archive."</i>--Track of Words<br><br><i>"This feels like Harry Potter, Superheroes, and the road-trip excitement of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, wrapped into one, and man was it engaging. I couldn't put it down when I really got into the thick of it!"</i>--Peyton F Writes<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>ROBBIE MACNIVEN is a Highlands-native History graduate from the University of Edinburgh.
