Summary
In 1965, Erik Lehnsherr has infiltrated the NYPD for his own purposes -- but his powers make him a brilliant detective. Yet that's not why FBI agent Charles Xavier has sought him out. It's because the mysterious killer they're both trying to find is murdering people like them: other mutants.

Summary
Since the end of the Great War, everything has changed. The legendarily decadent opium dens and vodka-sodden speakeasies of Constantinople and Saint Petersburg have given way to the glittering palaces and treacherous underworlds of Dersaadet and Prospess. For many of Her Holiest Imperious Condescension's subjects - however much she insists that the title is only a human formality - the second verse is indeed the same as the first: toil, labor, perhaps success or perhaps failure, and in the end an unsung death. By and large this serves to satisfy most everyone. Didn't the Romans have a saying that went something like "Thou shalt not tamper with a working program?" The song goes on, uninterrupted, as it has for eons - a soporific fugue continuing blithely in the same key as the inexorable flow of time.
For a precious few, though, the key shifts and jolts and sings like nails on a chalkboard. None of them ever really wanted to hear it - who would, after all? - and a few of them would actively resist acknowledging what they heard. The first lesson this would teach them would prove to be the most important of all: our destiny is frequently met in the very paths we take to avoid it.

Summary
It is 1946. Ira Eames is wealthy, a war hero, and a conman. Ireland McCullough was the son of a circus magician and madly in love with a young acrobat. Ireland McCullough disappeared in 1939, the same year Ira Eames enlisted in the Royal Navy to help fight the Second World War.
Ira Eames and Ireland McCullough are the same man, a man who's spent the last eight years of his life trying to escape the confines of his past and the overwhelming affection he's always felt for Arthur Petrov, afraid of the terrible kind of love that consumed Arthur's twin sister Mal and the intruder Dom Cobb. But now, nearly five years since he last saw her, Mal has fallen from the tightrope and Eames is on a train from Paris that will take him home.
But he's not the only passenger. Also on this train are Robert Fischer, an Interpol agent who wants Dom for a decade old murder, and a young woman named Ariadne, with dreams too big for the era she lives in. Eames must decide if he's going to help Robert Fischer make his arrest or protect a man he can hardly stand while he prepares Ariadne for the magical world she's joining. All the while he thinks back on the defining moments in his life, all of which revolve around Arthur.
