Summary
"Captain Logan! Captain Logan!"
The skinny cadet skitters to a halt next to Logan in the rec room, red-faced and a little out of breath. Logan eyes him with a faint frown, sunk deep into a stimm couch, thumbing up the rim of his captain's hat. He's just come off a torturous fifteen-hour shift, and healing factor or not, Logan's starting to feel it. Warp space is hell on his nerves.
"Settle down, bub. What burned your tail... eh..." Logan concentrates briefly. "Cadet McCoy? Hey. Your blue's showing. Settle down."
McCoy takes in several deep breaths, and the blue fur starting to thread out of his skin sinks back in. "Sir, yes sir. Message from X-Command, sir."

Summary
For centuries, the dragon isle of Westchester has remained in isolation, separate from the human mainland, divorced from all the conflicts and troubles of the outside world. Charles has lived a quiet, uneventful life in his cave by the coast--until three months ago, when a Genoshan knight rowed across the sea and landed on his beach. Sir Erik Lehnsherr is on a mission to petition the dragons for aid in defeating a powerful enemy: Sebastian Shaw, ruthless conqueror of the north. But despite Charles's help, the Westcastrian Council refuses to send aid. Now, on the eve of war, Erik leaves Westchester for the last time and rides north to join the desperate defense against Shaw's forces.
But Charles has fallen deeply in love with him, and it goes against his very nature as a dragon to abandon what he loves most. So, despite the Council's resolution not to interfere, and despite the fact that he's never before left home, Charles embarks on a journey northward to find Erik again and see him safe, whatever it takes.

Summary
When Erik's captured by slavers, collared, and sold off to a human owner, he's determined to get this collar off, kill every human involved, and make his escape as soon as an opportunity presents itself. But the longer he stays at Charles's mansion with his rabble of collected mutants, the more he doubts Charles's motives, and his own desire to escape. It's obvious that underneath his masks, Charles is hiding a secret, one that Erik is stubbornly determined to figure out...

Summary
Intergalactic Federation pilot Lieutenant Charles Xavier is assigned last-minute to a high profile mission: transporting over two thousand prison inmates from an old and overfilled prison complex to a newer, higher-capacity prison stronghold located on the outer reaches of the galaxy. Just as he's settling down for a long and uneventful ride, things take a turn for the worse after the inmates riot and stage a hostile takeover of the ship, leaving Charles to find himself at the complete mercy of cold-blooded killers and facing the chilling prospect that he might not ever make it back home alive.
