Customer Reviews

Good movie, much better book

The movie was good, much better than "River of Souls", but the books was incredible. Peter David has a way of writing that is absolutely incredible.

It was cool!

I love Peter David, and I love B5, so the two combined is very cool! If you are picking which B5 books to read, pick this one, In the Begining or To Dream in the City of Sorrows. They are just as good as the show/movies. If you saw the movie of this and liked it, read the book too, it has more than just what was in the movie!

Babylon 5 is the best show ever made!

Babylon 5 is the best show ever made! The depth of which J. Michael Straczynski has created is far beyond all other Sci-Fi series or books I have ever heard of. He is Genius.

Keep up the quality

Del Rey is showing Dell how the series of Babylon 5 books should have been done. Let's hope that the originals scheduled to start coming out this fall can keep up the quality of "In the Beginning" and "Thirdspace".Peter David has a real feel for the characters within the Babylon 5 universe - he did, after all, write a few episodes - and it shows. The story is not an original by him, since it is the novelization of a screenplay, but he handles it very well. A very good movie can make for a very poor novelization if slavishly "adapted" - thankfully, Peter David has made a very good book based on what I hope will prove to be a very good movie.

An impressive book.

This book is an obvious improvement to most of those that came before. Of course, that's what comes of being adapted from a screenplay, and not cooked up in the mind of someone writing from outside the entire B5 frame of reference (ie "Clark's Law"). The only drawback to the entire book were the silly and increasingly annoying foreshadowings which tease the reader with great horrors to come. Apart from these, though, it was quite rewarding, and worth a five star mention.
