The last Dell paperback returns . . . as well it should!,
By
This review is from: Babylon 5: To Dream in the City of Sorrows (Mass Market Paperback)
The "Babylon 5" series, originally printed by Dell, are slowly finding their way back into print and this is one of the best--if not the best of the lot--with its explanantion of what happened to Jeffrey Sinclair when he was relieved as the Commander of B5 until his reappearances in later seasons--appearances which, take it from a loyal viewer, were totally unexpected. As stated by many, the book fills the gaps left by the TV series about the Rangers and how they were developed and several other points.Aside from all this, the book is a fast, solid reading experience that allows the reader to realize, apart from his Minbari soul, why Commander/Ambassador Sinclair was willing to give up so much to follow his destiny. Because it acts as a filler, many readers might be lost in the mythos of the series and so it might not be the best book to begin a novice journey into the B5 world (hence only a 4-star rating). Apart from this, the book is a resounding success!

- - To dream of a better future.,

This review is from: Babylon 5: To Dream in the City of Sorrows (Mass Market Paperback)
It has long been wondered about Jeffrey Sinclair's fate after he was reassigned as Earth's first ambassador to Minbar. The chain of events that led him to become Entil'Zha. The fate of his fiancée Catherine Sakai. And the events that led Marcus Cole to become Anla'shok.While the story of Babylon 5 as a whole makes perfect sense, there are subtle things that need further clarification, questions that need to be answered and explanations that will put to rest the very need to know more about the fate of some of the most important characters in the series as exemplified above. To Dream In The City Of Sorrows does just that. It irons out seeming discontinuities, explains what was not explained, and ties together seemingly unrelated threads. Words can't quite explain what a beautiful job this book does in telling the story of Sinclair, Sakai, and Marcus Cole. The story is told in such a way that it is as if you were watching an actual episode. You are able to hear the character's voices in your head and imagine the settings, their facial expressions and even the noises around them. As you immerse yourself in the story, you begin to imagine, and perhaps feel, all the things Sinclair, Sakai, and Marcus must have felt as they experienced life-changing events. In the end, the need to know more will still be there. Perhaps new questions will emerge that will need to be answered. And so, the story must go on, perhaps not in the form of a book or an actual episode but in the form of our imagination running wild. To dream in the City of Sorrows, is to dream of a better future.

Should be required reading for Babylon 5 fans,
By "celes1" (Havre de Grace, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Babylon 5: To Dream in the City of Sorrows (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is based on the television series Babylon 5 and it focuses on what happened to Commander Sinclair after he was relocated to Minbar.It also covers what became of his fiance, Catherine Sakai and how Marcus Cole joined the rangers.This book should be required reading for every Babylon 5 fan. It answers a lot of questions fans may have about Sinclair but it's also really well written. You can tell the author did her homework. Sinclair is completely in character and the nuances of Minbari society are explained even better than on the show. Marcus fans may be a bit disappointed since the bulk of the book focuses on Sinclair but I'm sure they'll find something to like. If this book is any indication of the quality of the other Babylon 5 books then I hope they come back into print quickly.
