Summary: Not bad.... Not bad at all.
Review: When I heard that Peter David -- author of such ST:TNG classics as Q-Squared, Imzadi, and Vendetta -- was writing the novelization of "In the Beginning," I knew I would end up buying the book. I'm glad I did.
When I read this book, it was impossible to tell where JMS's script left off and David's writing began. I watched the movie afterward, fully expecting to hear Londo's thoughts at the beginning. After watching the movie, I felt certain that some parts of the book had been cut from the movie for time.
Now, as for the book: Great piece of work. This, I feel, is truly the best way to introduce someone to the series. It covers many topics, linking events in the book to those in the series with David's usual flair. The scene between G'Kar's assistant and the young Londo Mollari is especially powerful, and one that took me entirely by surprise when it didn't turn up in the movie. As with all of his works, you can tell that David is an avid viewer of the series.
There is one thing that could have been better, though: MORE!!! THIS WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH!!! I NEED MORE!!!
Thanks for another great work, Mr. David!

Summary: Wow, Peter David and Babylon 5 all in one book
Review: When I saw Peter David wrote a Babylon 5 book, I knew it wouldn't be long before I picked up a copy of it. I was not disapointed. This was an excellent novelization of the first full length Babylon 5 movie. I guess what I would tell anybody thinking about reading this book is: watch the movie first because after you read this book, the movie will be dull and missing important parts in comparison.

Summary: A lot of Action!! Great Stroy too.
Review: 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.
