Rating: Summary: "Babylon 5: A Call to Arms" Earth's Best Hope For Survival! Review: ACTA was one of the best Babylon 5 novels. I've read ACTA before the movie comes out, so this novel is making me really anxious. All that is missing from the movie is the faces and voices of the actors and Netter Digital's CGI Effects. I just have to say, the people at Del Rey do an awesome job! Long Live The Babylon Project!
Rating: Summary: Great! Review: I have to say that this book is great, unlike what I did with Thridspace I read this book after I saw the movie. It is a quick read and if you are a hard core fan of Babylon 5 you will eat this one up like cadny. I knew that there were some things about the Drazi and because of that I zero into that thing. But what they didn't tell me was the little thing about Dureena while she was on the station. Do you a favor or a treat go and buy this book.
Rating: Summary: A good book with a good plot. Review: I think this was a good movie turned into a good tv-movie. The only problem I think is that it need a little more information about the Drakh. Give a little more info I what they have been doing for the past 5 years. Still a good book.
Rating: Summary: Painfully dissapointing. Review: If this is the book of the film, god knows how bad the film is. I worship B5 but being in Britain we have not seen the TV version. This was a terrible hactchet job of hashed together bad ideas that lead nowhere. Thirdspace was very good, but this is awful.
Rating: Summary: This one was a great read. Review: IMO this was the second best of the B5 books (The best being book one of the Psi Corps trilogy.) Besides providing interesting backstories for several of the characters introduced (Anderson, Dueena and others), there were some delightful insights into the lives of Sheridan and Garibaldi at this point in the B5 saga. For me, the chapter where Michael "seeks professional help" to determine the state of Sheridan's mind was worth the price of the book.
Rating: Summary: The weakest of the B5 movie novelizations Review: The only reason I decide to read a movie novelization is to see what additional material(internal dialogue, additional scenes) the author injects into the project. Peter David did a great job with "In the Beginning" of expanding on the film and really giving us material that could've been there if not for time constraints.Sheckley brings nothing interesting into "A Call to Arms" that enhances the story and much of the inner dialogue doesn't even seem like the characters. You might as well just watch the movie again if the basic story appeals to you.

Rating: Summary: Excellent lead in movie to a exellent series Review: This book is the novelization of the movie which led into Crusade. The plot carries straight through and leave you breathlessly waiting for the next page. Sci-Fi at its best!
