Customer Reviews

As with everythin Babylon 5-Brilliant
The various triology's have all been of a very high standard. Usually, they hold real importance to the Babylon 5 universe. The technomage trilogy is no different. Based around Galen, the wonderfull technomage seen in Crusade, the trilogy began around 2258 and by this book it's around 2259-60. That gives you an idea on the status of the Shadow war. Reading theses books, secrets will revealed to you. The origins of the mages being the biggest expose, explained in book 2 and gone into more detail in 3. The books are accessiable to the casual fan. There real quality will be missed though. So surprise, surprise these books are awsome. JMS, Jeanne Cavelos, I salute you.

Brilliant
This book is simply stunning... the amount of extra infomation given about the Shadows / Vorlons is amazing. Also the way it seemlessly ties in with the TV show I wouldn't be supprised if it had been written at the same time, rather than years later. It doesn't rewrite what happened, just explain and fill in some of the holes from the TV series.

This book continues Galens stroy in a rivetting way, I found this book hard to put down till I had finished it, and was then forced to rewatch my B5 collection and reread all 3 of the technomage books....

This is the 3rd part of a trilogy so do your self a favour and read all books, they are the best of the B5 novels... and that is saying a lot as both the Psicore and Centauri trilogys are excellent...

Now all I say is GIVE US MORE B5 NOVELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not just for Babylon 5 and Crusade fans
This is a brilliant book! Although it is tied in to the Babylon 5 and Crusade TV series, it is not just for fans, being a fine piece of science fiction writing in it's own right (having said that, you do need to read the two other books in the B5 Technomage trilogy...but that's ok because they're great too! Buy them! Buy them for your friends! Spread the word!). The book finishes off the tale of how the Technomages - a group of 'magicians'- were involved behind the scenes in the Shadow war (it's all explained in the books, so don't worry if I've lost you), focussing mainly on one of their order, Galen (seen in B5:Crusade) and how he deals with the knowledge and power he possesses. This is the conclusion to a truly epic trilogy.
