Kurzbeschreibung
The electrifying space epic continues as Anna and John Sheridan battle deadly foes at opposite ends of the universe.
The dedication of the new Babylon 5 Station is fast approaching, and desperate enemies intend to see it end in catastrophe. The fate of the fledgling space alliance lies in the hands of John Sheridan, newly appointed captain of the spaceship Agamemnon. His orders are to stop the attack. Unless he first gets to the bottom of the near-mutinous behavior of the Agamemnon’s unruly crew, Sheridan and his spaceship will share Babylon 5’s doom.
Time is also running out for his wife Anna, headed to Z’ha’dum aboard the Icarus. Young, beautiful, and brilliant, she was thrilled to be appointed chief science officer of the follow-up mission to this mysterious planet on the edge of the known universe, where artifacts rumored to hold stupendous powers have been discovered. But the offer she could not resist threatens to become a dark destiny she cannot avoid, for an unimaginable horror lies somnolent on Z’ha’dum–and the monstrous consequences of disturbing the sleeping evil will haunt every living thing in the cosmos. . . .
Babylon 5 created by J. Michael Straczynski

A must read for any serious B5 fan..,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Shadow Within: Babylon 5, Book #7 (Taschenbuch)
I have watched all of the Babylon 5 episodes, collected most of videos, and even started reading the comics when they first came out. Now I am working on the books. I just wanted to point out that this book is a must for all serious B5 fans. The TV series leaves you lacking in what happened to the Icarus when it reached Z'Ha'dum and this book clearly gives those answers. I also appreciated the author's look into the past life of the character Morden. It is nice to see that his life was very different from that which he leads in the TV series. The book was well written and kept me entertained throughout. Kudos to the author...

Wundervolle Ergänzug zur 2. Staffel,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Babylon 5: The Shadow Within (Babylon 5 (Paperback Ballantine)) (Taschenbuch)
Pünktlich zum Erscheinen der 2. Staffel von B5 auf DVD werden zwei der wichtigsten Bücher neuaufgelegt, die den Handlungszeitraum (Staffel 1 und 2) begleiten. Voraussetzung ist eine Kenntnis der Saga um B5.Leider wurden auch dieser Roman nie ins Deutsche übersetzt, was aber niemanden abschrecken sollte, es lohnt sicht!! Hier eine Beurteilung von Marc Friese: "The Shadow within" setzt in vielerlei Hinsicht neue Maßstäbe. Nach JMS' eigener Aussage ist der Roman fast 100% canon (sein genauer Wortlaut waren 90%). Der einzige Roman dem er tatsächliche 100% zuspricht ist "To dream in the City of Sorrows". Des weiteren ist die Autorin, Jeanne Cavelos, wesentlich stärker als die bisherigen Autoren in die Serie involviert, da sie erstens für Dell, den Verlag der die Romane in den USA herausbrachte, die Babylon 5-Romane in ihrer Funktion als Editor bearbeitete und sie sich zweitens selbst als Fan der Serie bezeichnet. Zu beidem kamen noch einige klärende Gespräche zwischen ihr und JMS hinzu, in der er sie auf kleine Ungereimtheiten hinwies. Hinterher sagte JMS aber, dass der Roman am wenigsten seine Beachtung brauchte, da Cavelos die Show wirklich kannte. Damit ist der Roman nicht einfach nur canon, sondern erzählt einen wirklich wichtigen Teil der Babylon 5-Chronologie, nämlich die Vorgeschichte, den Flug und die Landung der Ikarus auf Z'ha'dum.

Just read it!,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Babylon 5: The Shadow Within (Babylon 5 (Paperback Ballantine)) (Taschenbuch)
This was the first and so far only B5 book I read, but I've already ordered more by this author. I needed two days to finish it and could have done so in one, if I hadn't had other things to do, like sleeping, which is really nasty at times like that.The style of writing is great, just as I like it, with enugh lines that stick to the memory. Story and atmosphere of the book are also just fine, and the characters are well developed and hard not to like. Another great thing is that the author actually knows the series and the characters, which shows in all the little details, like Morden's pendant or the snow globe Delenn broke in 'Shadow Dancing'. Of course, if you know the series you already know how this story is going to end, but for me the only problem that caused me was that it broke my heart. And I will never look at Morden the same way again. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen
