Rating: Summary: Magnificent book leaving yet more questions. Review: Simply the best book covering the Babylon 5 story arc. Yes, it answers many questions, but also asks a few more such as: How did Sinclair find Catherine in the past? and Where are they now? All we need now is a book covering Sinclair's return to Minbar 1000 years ago..... We live for The One.
Rating: Summary: The Best of the Best Review: Simply well written and thoughtful. Drennan tells a tale with little action but instead powerful human drama and spendor. If you loved "Sleeping In Light" this is for you.
Rating: Summary: The last Dell paperback returns . . . as well it should! Review: The "Babylon 5" series, originally printed by Dell, are slowly finding their way back into print and this is one of the best--if not the best of the lot--with its explanantion of what happened to Jeffrey Sinclair when he was relieved as the Commander of B5 until his reappearances in later seasons--appearances which, take it from a loyal viewer, were totally unexpected. As stated by many, the book fills the gaps left by the TV series about the Rangers and how they were developed and several other points. Aside from all this, the book is a fast, solid reading experience that allows the reader to realize, apart from his Minbari soul, why Commander/Ambassador Sinclair was willing to give up so much to follow his destiny. Because it acts as a filler, many readers might be lost in the mythos of the series and so it might not be the best book to begin a novice journey into the B5 world (hence only a 4-star rating). Apart from this, the book is a resounding success!

Rating: Summary: How did Sinclair become Ranger One? Review: This book explores in depth the side story of what happened to Sinclair after he left the station and was assigned as ambassador on minbar... Excellent book, with an excellent side story that many of us have wondered about.
Rating: Summary: The Best B5 book so far! Review: This book fills in the gap that was left after Commander Sinclair's abrupt departure. It fleshes out the story concerning the Rangers and shows how Sinclair becomes the Entil'Za. I highly recommend this book to anyone who remotely likes B5.
Rating: Summary: Should be required reading for Babylon 5 fans Review: This book is based on the television series Babylon 5 and it focuses on what happened to Commander Sinclair after he was relocated to Minbar.It also covers what became of his fiance, Catherine Sakai and how Marcus Cole joined the rangers.This book should be required reading for every Babylon 5 fan. It answers a lot of questions fans may have about Sinclair but it's also really well written. You can tell the author did her homework. Sinclair is completely in character and the nuances of Minbari society are explained even better than on the show. Marcus fans may be a bit disappointed since the bulk of the book focuses on Sinclair but I'm sure they'll find something to like. If this book is any indication of the quality of the other Babylon 5 books then I hope they come back into print quickly.
Rating: Summary: A great book that answers many B5 questions. Review: This book is great, just wonderful. It is one of the two best B5 novels, along with "The Shadow Within". There is no dull moment during the book. Even the calm sections, where nothing important is going on, it is very interesting. If you are a B5 fan you must get this book, so you will know the answers to many questions that arise from the TV series: What happened to Sinclair during his years on Minbar? How did he get involved with the Rangers? What ever happened to Chatherine Sakai? Is there or was there a Minbari leader, and what happened to him? This is a B5 classic, no doubt about it.
Rating: Summary: great Review: This book tells what happened to Sinclair and where Marcus came fro
Rating: Summary: An immensely satisfying companion novel to "Babylon 5." Review: This is a great book. I usually do not read tie-in books for Sci-Fi series, out of the experience of past disappointments. "To Dream in the City of Sorrows," however, is a fabulous book. It ties up so much from the series and answers so many unanswered questions (for example, exactly how DID Sinclair know who Lucy and Ethel were?!). It also makes me remember how much I miss Michael O'Hare's portrayal of Jeffrey Sinclair from Season 1 -- Kathrynn Drennan has captured Sinclair (and O'Hare as Sinclair) perfectly, as well as the characters of Marcus Cole and Catherine Sakai. If you fell in love with "Babylon 5," you'll love this book. It is the missing piece to the puzzle.
