By A Customer

Really. Avoid. I like Babylon 5, but this book is truly dreadful.

Where to begin? The characters are not the same as in the series or as in other books - the same names (bar a Psi-person), the same positions, but different personalities, different reactions, and in the case of Kosh, a *really* different way of speaking, as if he was part human! But the book is about strange things happening - that's the reason. Well, no - if I were Kosh, I would have left on my ship before admitting that I was troubled.

It's a one story-thread book - a big thing is about to envelope B5. Earth is lying about the amount of support it will give - this is '59, the military would not lie about a squadron coming to defend B5, for heaven sakes. I kept reading the book, hoping that the one thread would turn into an interesting direction, rather than "people are going even more weird". And just after the climax, you are left with a feeling of "so what?". You read on, searching for an explaination. There isn't one.

What good can I say about this book. The chapters are short. Unfortunately, that means there are a lot of them. Spend your money on more modern B5, such as the Tech Mages, the mystery about the Centuari after '62, or the future of our favourite Psicop, Bester. But don't spend your money on this book.
