It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. Ten years after the Earth-Minbari War, the Babylon Project was a dream given form. It's goal, to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call, home away from home, for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens wrapped in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last, best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5. - Commander Jeffrey Sinclair (Season 1 Intro).

If you ever wondered what happened to Sinclair between Chrysalis and War Without End, the answer is here in this book. To Dream in the City of Sorrows tells the story of how Jeffrey Sinclair became the first human leader of the Rangers. Kathryn Drennan, (Joe Straczyinski's wife) wrote the book and according to the foreward written by JMS, the book is canon. This is the way it happened (or will happen in 2259-2261).

Dark Genesis: The Birth of the Psi Corps, by Greg Keyes - Tells the story of the appearance of the first telepaths on Earth and how that led to the formation of the Psi Corps. Exciting reading and just the first of a trilogy.

I haven't read these yet, but you might want to pick up the next two books in the Psi Corps trilogy both by Greg Keyes.

Deadly Relations: Bester Ascendant

Final Reckoning: The Fate of Bester (available August 1999 but you can preorder now)

Commentary

I'm probably the last person to weigh in on the treatment Crusade has received at the hands of TNT, but I wanted to add my voice to those who are very upset with the way the show has been handled. I was very grateful to TNT for picking up Season 5 of Babylon 5 and for their production of the four B5 movies. When they announced that Crusade was being developed I looked forward to the continuation of the story of the Babylon 5 universe.

I'm not going to be able to see that continuation, because TNT and JMS were unable to agree on a vision for the series. Given JMS's track record with B5, I would have given him the benefit of the doubt, but I guess TNT was unwilling to yield full control to JMS. The result, Crusade is cancelled and barring a miracle (like getting picked up by Sci-Fi) it will be gone forever.
