Product Description
Product Description
Babylon 5, designed to be a place of peace in a troubled universe, has erupted into rioting as visiting cultures clash and passions explode. Security chief Garibaldi must use all his skills to quell the violence between races. But the troubles escalate as terrifying nightmares plague everyone on board from Captain Sheridan to Vorlon Ambassador Kosh. It seems as if some "force" is touching them all...
Then an alien presence appears. A long, twisting band of green light nine million miles long stretches out against the darkness of space on a collision course with Babylon 5. Since it remains invisible to computer sensors, some are calling it an illusion, others are calling it an evil life force. Still others are calling it God. Now, it is up to Captain Sheridan and Garibaldi to find out, risking their lives, and perhaps their souls, to venture forth amond the stars to meet the unknown.

I liked it.
26 May 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I liked it. The story was interesting and held my attention. It was also easy to read - I read it in one day. I think most of the people objected to it because it doesn't fit into the main story line of the TV series. I didn't have a problem with this. It's a great story, told from differing view points of the characters but mainly Security Chief Garibaldi's. It was lighter than some, but I liked that too after reading "To Dream in the City of Sorrows" which was a great book but the story was a bit heavier and took more thought. I think most people who reviewed this book have forgotten about the TV episodes which also seemed to have nothing to do with the "shadows" storyline but had almost totally separate and sometimes light-hearted adventures. Anyway, I enjoyed it and I think anyone interested in a light sci-fi adventure would too.

A possibly promising beginning but then...
8 Mar 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book was a bit of a dissapointment for me.
The beginning offers the book to be full of either interesting opportunities or huge dissapointments. It was neither.
The plot was intriquing and the book kept you with it, but there was not enough pay off at the end, as the author fell back on old, predictable solutions and colorless writing.
A nice read but nothing is missed by not reading it either.

Doesn't belong in the series
22 July 1998
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Although it is nominally set on Babylon 5 and uses the names of various of the characters (mostly unrecognizable from the series, or mere caricatures of themselves), this book really has no place in the Babylon 5 universe. The story is poor, it advances nothing within the B5 universe, and its "reset button" Deus ex machina ending violates the entire spirit behind Babylon 5.
Take a look at "Thirdspace" by Peter David (based on the movie by J.M.Straczynski) to see how this story should have been done.
There was a serious slip in quality control when this book made it through as an authorized B5 vehicle. If you like B5, avoid this one at all costs.
