It's OK
Set in the middle of the Centauri-Narn war, the parties decide to have a peace conference; however another race has a different idea. A lady enters B5 who says that she has something to sell - something Londo thought he already had. Meanwhile, Ivanova has staff problems - and was her dead brother corrupt?

This is a multi-thread book, with the potential for being good. So why only two stars? Well, one of the threads ends halfway through the book, and you think "so what?". Another ends predictably, with one of the people acting out of character (too unsuspcious). And the other thread? Well, there is a little twist, but you don't develop too intimacy with the outcome. This book depends on tried and tested themes, and whilst it can produce a couple of twists, it's no more than a couple, and the next few actions can be a bit predictable. There is minimum contact between the threads, little humour, and the characters and situations from the TV series are not developed either. Still, a moderately good read, but there are better available.
