ACCUSATIONS : Babylon 5, Book #2

Rating:
Summary: Non-arc whodunit
Review: I assume the only people who read this will be fans of B5, but even if they're not, it is still a good book. There is very little in the way of the story arc, but it is a well crafted suspense novel that just happens to be a few hundred years in the future. Pretty much any fan of detective fiction should like this one, but don't look for any revelations about the nature of the Vorlons or technical facts like how many crew serve aboard a Narn heavy cruiser

Rating:
Summary: Suspense all the way
Review: Juggling with quite a complex plot succeeds very well in this book. The story keeps the suspense up until to the very end, with couple of good twists on the way getting there. Although it was clear that Ivanova would return to her post at the end of the story, I was still worried that it wouldn't work out that way.

The events take place after "The Coming of Shadows" and before "All Alone in the Night".

Rating:
Summary: An out-standing futuristic detective novel.
Review: This book has all the elements of a good detective story: crime, suspense, and it makes you think. The story keeps surprising the reader with new and fascinating events or evidence.

Even though it's based on the TV show, it definitely could have been a stand-alone book. All the information based on the series is explained shortly and a person with no knowledge of the show can understand it easily.

Almost all the book is very well written, except for one part where the author shows a "trashy" side, when Garibaldi holds Ivanova and feels attracted to her, and feels "her feminine body shivering". The author stopped herself at the right time, not writing sleezy lines, and getting back to the problems of the investigation.

This is the best book of the Babylon 5 novel series, and for Babylon 5 fans it is very highly recommended, a "don't miss" book, and for non-fans it's recommended, a "can read" book.
