Product Description

Review
"A solid, stand-alone novel . . . A fascinating spotlight on the enigmatic, deadly telepaths."
--USA Today (recommended reading)
"Dark Genesis is the kind of rare tie-in book that equals, or even bests, the franchise whose world it borrows. If you've heard the ravings of Babylon 5 fans . . . then this book is for you. You'll get a glimpse into the world they enjoy so passionately."
--Cinescape Online

Synopsis
Emperor Londo Mollari is helpless to stop the Drakh--a race of malevolent creatures hell-bent on destroying the Interstellar Alliance by first taking control of Londo's homeworld, Centauri Prime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Continuation of the Television Series, 22 Jan 2003
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The year is 2262 and Londo has just become Emperor of Centauri Prime. But what might have been his best chance to help his people and make up for his past becomes an exercise in frustration for him, as he must submit to the will of the Drakh Entire. Watched over by his keeper, he is only fully able to do what they desire. Meanwhile, Vir suspects something might be wrong with his friend. But can he find out what is really happening in the palace?

Peter David has done a wonderful job with this book. Londo becomes a truly sympathetic character. The climax is almost painful it's so well written and leaves the reader anxious to pick up the next book. Mr. David has captured each character exactly as they appear in the series. It's very easy to "hear" the actors deliver the lines and picture the settings from the series. He also works in references to several pivotal and obscure moments in the show, making this seem to fit perfectly in the Babylon 5 universe. The new characters are fully developed and help advance the story. Interesting, two of Londo's wives, from an episode of the show that Mr. David wrote, also play important parts in the story.

There is one small detraction for fans of the series. The book plays a little loosely with the timeline of season 5. However, I find the timeline presented here to be a little more realistic and something only worth noting in passing.

Fans of Babylon 5 who haven't read this book are in for a real treat. People who haven't seen the show will enjoy this book as well, but might be confused by a few things mentioned in passing. Personally, I had trouble putting this book down and can't wait to read the next book in the trilogy. A truly top notch read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bab5 as it should be., 19 April 2000
By John Arnold "floyduk" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I always got the impression from the TV series that JMS wanted to keep the space battles in their place and concentrate more on characters, politics and motivations. Well that's exactly where this book goes, and masterfully. I really enjoyed Londo in the TV series and I think this book adds even more depth to the character. I really enjoyed this book and it's hurting me having to wait for the next one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down., 5 April 2000
After the fabulous Psi Corps trilogy I awaited the Centauri Prime trilogy with eager anticipation. I was not to be disappointed. "The Long Night of Centauri Prime" is compelling reading, and the characterisation is excellent.

I can't wait till part 2 of the trilogy is available.

A must read for Babylon 5 fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars True to the B5 Universe, a great addition.
I am a B5 fanatic. The universe JMS created was somehow more believable than others franchises. This book carries that feeling on further. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A highly captivateing read.
After I read the fairly new si corps trilogy I was hungry for more quality Babylon 5. Which in a nut shell this was. Instead of huge space battles or climatic fight scenes. Read more
