Kurzbeschreibung
The Battle of the Line is infamous in Earth history as the climactic campaign in a long and bloody war between Humankind and the alien Minbari race. But how did this apocalyptic conflict erupt? And how did this fateful clash of two civilizations ultimately lead to the creation of the Babylon 5 space station? Here, at last, the great space epic unfolds--in a new novel based on the first full-length Babylon 5 television movie.
Eager to expand their trade with other worlds, the people of planet Earth attempt to make contact with the mysterious Minbari, a race of proud and powerful warriors. But when communication turns to violence, Earth becomes the target of a latter-day holy war, waged by a civilization possessing vastly superior numbers and firepower.
And the Minbari will stop at nothing short of the total extermination of its enemy: the Human race . . .

The movie "In the Beginning" has not yet been shown in my country and that is why I can not compare the book with the movie. Besides, I don't feel a good book should be compared with the movie it is based on. "In the Beginning" is a wonderful book. It keeps in line with almost everything in the Babylon 5 universe. Characters, dates, places, occurences, it all feells right. Any B5 fan, who has seen all of the show, such as myself, would feel at home. Although it is regretable that gaps in the story arc are filled in movies and books instead of in the show itself, the book is a "must read" for any one who wants to truly understand what led to the creation of the Babylon project, what really happened in the Earth-Minbari war and how it all comes together. Very important info is passed along in the book. The story itself is well written, fluent and enjoyable. I most deffinetly recommend!
Format:Taschenbuch
By far the best of the Babylon 5 movies, the book form may also be the best of its kind. The Earth-Minbari war is one of the key elements of the Babylon 5 universe, but its origins and (more importantly) implications were not fully covered in the series.
The story is full, fast-paced, and totally consistent with the B5 universe. The book adds depth and character to the already rich scenes from the screenplay. Read it. Today.

This book was an amazing read. It had some fascinating insights to the backstory and was so well-written that I really couldn't put it down. I read it during the course of a day and night and would happily read it again. From my point of view, if you take the film "In the Beginning", that really was a story for the fans as it was heavily arc-related and finally told the story that had been lying quietly in the background for five years. And so the book is the same, and I was expecting that. Overall, it was brilliantly done and I certainly don't regret buying it. Thanks JMS for coming up with such a fascinating universe, and let's hope to see more great B5 novels in the future. (I can't wait for all of the Dark Genesis Trilogy, from what I've heard, this is amazing!)

A lot of Action!! Great Stroy too.
Wonderful book. It tells of what happened in the Earth/Minbari war. I also like the story because it incorperated a lot of the characters from the show.

Perfect adaptation of a perfect movie
In The Beginning proved to be far greater than the movie, while still paying tribute to it. It describes more of the background behind the characters, including a conversation... Lesen Sie weiter...

The Best B5 book there is.
I read this book twice and I would say its better than the movie. Tells the story of the Earth-Minbari war, how it started and how it ended. It is a MUST read.

I couldn't put the book down. I read half of it in one night. Some nice things that are not in the movie. A must for any B5 fan.

Excellent book
This was better than the movie, only because it was had more room to fill in details, draw our attention to small touches, and give more of an internal view of the characters. Lesen Sie weiter...

This book is better than the movie.
I am a loyal fan of Babylon 5. I enjoyed the movie Babylon 5: In the Beginning a lot, which tempted me to buy the book. I was glad that I did. Lesen Sie weiter...
