X-Men: Codename: Wolverine

Wolverine. Sabretooth. Silver Fox. Wraith. Maverick. Together, they were Team X, the best covert-ops team NATO had to offer. But a mission to retrieve a disk from a pair of Soviet agents proved to be more trouble than they bargained for. A Soviet agent codenamed the Black Widow, a mutant Interpol agent named Sean Cassidy, and shape-changing freelance spy Mystique were all after the disk as well. Years later, Wolverine is a valued member of the uncanny X-Men. The Black Widow is now a respected American super hero. Cassidy is mentor to the next generation of young mutants. Mystique and Sabretooth are reluctant members of X-Factor, the government strike force. Wraith is still a covert-ops agent. Silver Fox is dead, and Maverick is dying of the Legacy Virus. Each of them is kidnapped, one by one--starting with Sabretooth, by far the deadliest member of the former Team X. Wolverine must uncover the terrible secret from that old mission -- a secret that has remained hidden for years, and could spell death for all of them!

It's a big espionage thriller that flashes back and forth between the present day and Cold War Europe, and it features Wolverine, Sabretooth, Banshee, Black Widow, Mystique, and Maverick, as well as a cameo by the one, the only, Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD! If you have half as much fun reading it as I had writing it, then I've done my job, folks! I had a blast! ~ Christopher Golden
