This book was available at the library and so is the first of the Babylon 5 books i've read. I wasn't disappointed. The book focuses mainly on the story of the Icarus which journeyed to Z'ha'dum with John Sheridan's wife Anna aboard before the dedication of Babylon 5. It also intertwines pieces of story about John Sheridan and Jeff Sinclair and their activities during this same time period. I think i most enjoyed seeing John Sheridan and Jeff Sinclair prior to their arcs in the TV series. It felt good, and helped make a bit more meaningful the change in leadership which occurred on Babylon 5.
If you enjoyed the TV series, you'll enjoy this book.… (plus d'informations)
