A Xavier’s Institute Novel
Two exceptional students face their ultimate test when they answer a call for help, in the first thrilling Xavier’s Institute novel, focused on the daring exploits of Marvel’s mutant heroes
As part of their training at the New Charles Xavier Institute, Triage and Tempus are allowed to attempt their first solo flying mission. Some way into their mission, they pick up an urgent SOS message – Sentinels are attacking a superpowered mutant, who is struggling to protect an injured politician. When they abandon their lesson and answer the call, however, the identity of both will cause the two young X-Men far more problems than they bargained for.
It isn’t easy being extraordinary. Superhuman powers can be both a gift and a curse in a world where those talents can be used for good or evil. A lucky few are taught how to control their abilities at the Charles Xavier Institute, while others must master their uniquely dangerous powers alone. Will they become true heroes and heroines when called upon to defend the world, or turn their fearsome abilities to conquering the world? Meanwhile, in a realm beyond Earth, mighty heroes do battle with monsters of myth and undertake quests to restore peace and honor to the legendary halls of Asgard and the Ten Realms.

“I really wanted to write a book that would be accessible to new Marvel fans while still containing plenty of Easter eggs for die-hard X-fans to enjoy. So if you’ve only seen a Marvel movie once, you should be able to pick up this book and understand it. But if you’ve read all the comics, you’ll also have some inside information about why these characters don’t like each other and what happens next. So hopefully it’s an enjoyable experience regardless of your Marvel background. That’s the goal, anyway.”

Comic Book Herald, Interview with Carrie Harris, author of Liberty & Justice For All
“In comics, we see a lot of the likes of Storm and X-23 because they’re just so powerful, and in visual ways. But in prose, we can explore what it’s like to be the healer and the time manipulator, and give them a chance to shine.”

– Track of Words, Interview with Carrie Harris, author of Liberty & Justice For All
“Liberty & Justice For All centers on two exceptional students and their daring exploits as mutant heroes as they face their ultimate test when they answer a call for help.”
– Marvel.com, Exclusive first chapters of Liberty & Justice for All
“Liberty & Justice For All is the first prose novel of the Xavier’s Institute line, which follows the young members of the New Charles Xavier School for Mutants. The releases in this line will explore stories of adventure, defiance, and growth as these characters discover their abilities and their place in the world.”

“New and exciting. And incredibly good… Triage and Tempus rule. They’re richly written, funny, interesting teens battling their insecurities… This book really is a giant triumph for Harris… This is an incredible book. Highest recommend.”
– The Omniplex
“Liberty & Justice For All isn’t your standard X-Men adventure, it’s one that focuses more on the human (or mutant) journey that happens to these characters, it spends quiet moments with its characters and lets the reader get into their heads and see the effect this life would have on someone. It might not be what you’d be initially drawn to an X-Men book for, but it’s what you’ll come away loving and wanting more of.”
– Trans-Scribe
“Harris adds a depth to the antagonists often missing in other depictions of these characters in other media and uses it to remind readers that just as no hero is infallible, no villain is without their better angels. Harris favors nuance over mustache-twirling, and in that choice lies the heart of the story… an engaging and entertaining story.”
– GeekDad
“While strongly tied into the lore of the long-running Marvel franchise, it’s mostly fresh, well executed, and gives some depth to the characters and their relationships.”
– The Review Curmudgeon
“An action-packed adventure… this is definitely worth checking out.”
– Track of Words
“Entirely enjoyable.”
– Publishers Weekly
“Often laugh-out-loud-funny. The plot may be a little far-fetched, but the ride is so much fun it doesn’t much matter.”
– Kirkus Reviews
“Entertaining and engaging.”
