Title: A dull, boring experience
Review: I'm a big fan of Babylon 5, even took the time to put together my own model Starfurry. Got the pencil sharpeners for my office, taped the episodes, watched the repeats, etc. And so, finding a novel by JMS's own wife filling in the gaps of Sinclair's life seemed great... And then I read it. Terrible. Within a few pages I realized this ranks right up there with the long list of horribly-written Star Trek books. And my major complaint is with the writing. The style is very tedious. Sorry, Babylon fans, skip this book! My other complaint is the sheer lack of action. Chapter after chapter goes by while NOTHING happens. Sinclair looks at the statue of Valen. Sinclair sits around. Sinclair seems to be in charge of high-tech military training yet he doesn't interact with the students. Right up to the ending, which wasn't a surprise, seemed a long drawn-out, boring experience. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
