The hottest outer-space-based sf drama on television since Star Trek: The Next Generation, Babylon 5 launches its fifth season this year on a new network -- cable's TNT -- with an original movie-length feature kicking off the action. And now, hot on the heels of the hit behind-the-scenes book, Creating Babylon 5, Del Rey is proud to present the first two books in a comprehensive episode-guide series that the show's legions of fans will want to own.-- BOOK #1, "Signs And Portents", features: a foreword by actor Michael O'Hare (Commander Sinclair); two introductory essays -- "Getting Babylon 5 Into Orbit" and "Babylon 5's First Season" -- by author Jane Killick; a complete synopsis of each of the twenty-two episodes, from the pilot, "The Gathering", through the climactic season finale, "Chrysalis", followed by in-depth analysis.
