An Excellent Portrayal of Bester - an Excellent Book

By Thriftbooks.com User, September 16, 2004

Alfred Bester, played by Walter Koenig, was one of the best "bad guys" on the TV show. His flat sense of humor showed a darker side to him - a side that we became quite familiar with during his forays onto the station. Yet there was always a sense of tenderness underneath the character, a glimpse of someone whose heart wasn't blackened by the hatred he felt for those who aimed to hurt him. This book explores that side of...

Be seeing you.

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 23, 2004

This book, based on an outline from Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski (so you know it's official), covers the period in B5's history detailing the final years in the life of Psi Cop Alfred Bester.There are many parts of the Babylon 5 story that have only been hinted at throughout the series, the Telepath War being one of the biggest. Not many questions are answered about that in this book, being that it's set after...

The best of the trilogy

By Thriftbooks.com User, September 4, 2001

The year is 2271. The telepath war is over, and many of the old Psi Corp leaders are on the run or in prison as war criminals. Bester has managed to evade his pursuers. But with Garibaldi using the Edgars' fortune to find him, can he stay hidden for much longer?I will admit I didn't enjoy the other two books in this series as much as I had hoped I would. But, being a fan of the TV series, I kept reading. This book is much...

Historical Fiction of the Future Past

By Thriftbooks.com User, June 29, 2001

The conclusion to the Psi Corps trilogy delivers something that the other B5 books (notably the end of the Centauri trilogy), what most other BOOKS miss completely: the characters were king. The flow of this novel was sufficiently fresh that a non-B5 fan who hadn't read the first two could pick it up and get into it. A cloak-and-dagger, character driven chase turning the classic formula backward -- witty, intelligent, learned...

Wonderfully crafted, engaging story.

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 28, 1999

Those who have complained about the questions left unanswered need to realize that this isn't the end. There is no limit to the books that can be written about B5 and its universe, and I would encourage you to stop trying to force the books to conform to your expectations and enjoy the content offered to you. You may not learn about the Telepath war in this book, but you might in another. I'd rather have the detail than...
