Summary: rite were the show left off!
Review: It follows the last year of the Final season of Babylon 5 with pace and enthusiasm. The author definately has a great feel for the pre existing characters as you can hear them speak through the pages.

Summary: THIS ENTIRE TRILOGY IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ for B5 FANS!!!
Review: B5 was quite simply the best sci-fi show ever produced. Unfortunately, the end of the series left gaps in the storyline and some very tantalizing questions unanswered. If you are a B5 fan, you MUST read this trilogy. It is exactly what the fifth season should have been! All your question will be answered (e.g. Vir as emperor? The keeper in the urn? Etc.)!

Summary: Wow
Review: I really felt that Peter David really knows his stuff about the B5 world. I was amazed at how well he knew Londo and Vir. The these characters seemed to come alive right ont he page; however, I must say I do hope eventually that this is turned into an actual episode. I also found the dynamic of Durla interesting as well. Learning more about this universe has been quite entertaining.

Summary: The Best of Babylon 5!!
Review: This triology is some of the best Babylon 5 produced!! And that includes the actual series as well. I am a long time B-5 fan and a supporter of Babylon 5 anywhere and everywhere, but this novel starts a series of books that is the best anywhere. You can not buy a better or more faithful tribute anywhere. This is the best Science Fiction written. It is as good as if it had been written by the Master himself. Peter David is one the best writers today, if you miss this book, you miss his masterpiece.

Summary: Great Continuation of the Television Series
Review: The year is 2262 and Londo has just become Emperor of Centauri Prime. But what might have been his best chance to help his people and make up for his past becomes an exercise in frustration for him, as he must submit to the will of the Drakh Entire. Watched over by his keeper, he is only fully able to do what they desire. Meanwhile, Vir suspects something might be wrong with his friend. But can he find out what is really happening in the palace? Peter David has done a wonderful job with this book. Londo becomes a truly sympathetic character. The climax is almost painful it's so well written and leaves the reader anxious to pick up the next book. Mr. David has captured each character exactly as they appear in the series. It's very easy to "hear" the actors deliver the lines and picture the settings from the series. He also works in references to several pivotal and obscure moments in the show, making this seem to fit perfectly in the Babylon 5 universe. The new characters are fully developed and help advance the story. Interesting, two of Londo's wives, from an episode of the show that Mr. David wrote, also play important parts in the story. There is one small detraction for fans of the series. The book plays a little loosely with the timeline of season 5. However, I find the timeline presented here to be a little more realistic and something only worth noting in passing.
Fans of Babylon 5 who haven't read this book are in for a real treat. People who haven't seen the show will enjoy this book as well, but might be confused by a few things mentioned in passing. Personally, I had trouble putting this book down and can't wait to read the next book in the trilogy. A truly top notch read.

Summary: A MUST for B5 Fans!
Review: There is NO QUESTION that this trilogy (Legions of Fire) did not skip a beat where the PSI CORPS/Bester (J. Gregory Keyes) books left off. Words can not describe this trilogy, so I suggest you add it to your cart and read it! You'll be glad you did!

Summary: A Fine Addition to the Babylon 5 Universe
Review: Much to his credit, noted "Star Trek" novelist Peter David's "The Long Night of Centauri Prime" is one of the best I have read in the "Babylon 5" series of novels. One of David's strengths has been writing great characterizations, and here he excels in offering us a sympathetic portrait of Londo Mollari as he assumes the title of Emperor of the Centauri Republic while becoming an unwilling servant of the evil Drakh Entire. He also does a brilliant job fleshing out Vir Cotto's personality and reacquainting us with two of Londo's wives, Mariel and Timov. And he is just as superb in describing political intrigue at the Centauri court. Yet what I miss is more of an understanding of the motives of the Drakh Entire towards the Centauri, and specifically, greater insight into their relationship with Londo Mollari. However, fans of "Babylon 5" will not be disappointed with this book.

Summary: A start for what can be considered another ending of B5
Review: The first book in the Legions of Fire-trilogy is definitely a must-read for every B5 wiever. The trilogy is written by Peter David, possibly the best of all the various Star Trek authors, whose Star Trek books I recommend to every Trek wiever. And once again, he rises to expectations with this Babylon 5 trilogy that answers so many of the questions left unanswered during the TV-show. This first novel of the trilogy is all about setting ground, characterization, and good writing, introducing many good characters and re-introducing some old ones, like two of Londo's wifes, seen in the second season episode "Soul Mates", wich, by the way, was written by Peter David himself. The book begins with the powerfull scenes from the fifth season episode "The Fall of Centauri Prime", where Londo is taken controll over, and shows us the following five years, concentrating mainly on the situation of Londo, being controlled by the Drakh. The book (the whole trilogy actually) gives us some remarcable insights of the character of Londo Mollari, wich really make you think about the character and analyse him in ways you maybe wouldn't have thought of. Characterization is the whole purpose of the book. The plot kicks in in the even better followers of this book and especially the final book of the trilogy "Out of the Darkness" offers something few books do to a Babylon 5 fan. But in the end you can't help but wonder if the novel could have had something more to offer. Especially the relationship between Londo and his master(s), although further explored in the two other books, could have been further examined.

Summary: Anoying sometimes but necessary
Review: as a Babylon 5 fan, I bought this book to cover the blank area that the t.v show left when it was over. The book itself does it in a way though it is written sometimes in a most anoying way. the thing that made me wonder the most is the excessive use in the techno mages. According to Crusade only galen was left behind as an "active" techo mage. the rest left as it was said in the show " with a bit of luck, you won't see our kind again in your life time". But then again nothing is perfect, and this book does fill the blank spots. it could have been done much better though.

Summary: If you loved B5, this is a must read
Review: Unfortunately, if you have not, you will be extemely confused. The book does little to bring you up to speed on the plot thus far. Like the show, which I recommend to any scifi fan as one of the finest works in the genre, the book builds on what has gone before. The characters are true to form and facinating. The HMS, the creater of the show, once described B5's center plot as the war over londo mollari's soul. That being the case, this book is an excellent installment in that saga.
