I think book 2 is terrific as well, maybe in some ways better than 1 because
|
|
though it's not as epic, it really makes the Psi Corps come alive in some
|
|
nifty
|
|
ways.

I haven't seen 3 yet, but it should be a real kick.

|
The technomage trilogy, at this point, may work out to be my favorite, given
|
|
how much of the B5 storyline it interweaves.

|
|
<em>Why should we buy a book to learn about things that should have been
|
|
covered in the series?</em>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
1) The B5 series was never about the Psi Corps, it was about the station and
|
|
the people who live there.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
2) Should the show have told everything there was about IPX, the Psi Corps,
|
|
EarthDome, and all of the various institutions involved? Show me any series
|
|
ever created that can do that.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
3) The Psi Corps books cover over a hundred years of history, and Bester's
|
|
final fate comes years after the events of the B5 storyline. There is NO WAY
|
|
to include all of that in any one series. You are asking the impossible, and
|
|
complaining because we cannot do what simply cannot be done by any series,
|
|
ever, anywhere, ever created.
