title: Deadly Relations: Bester Ascendant (Babylon 5)
author:  J. Gregory Keyes 
description: <i>Babylon 5</i> is a rarity among SF TV series in having a thoroughly worked out future history, even if parts of that history are only hinted at on TV. Which is where this novel comes in. Based on an original outline by series creator J. Michael Straczynski and following <i><a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/0345427157/${0}">Dark Genesis: The Birth of the Psi Corps</a></i>, it is the second novel of a trilogy detailing the history of the Psi Corps. Yet it is sufficiently self-contained to be accessible to readers unfamiliar with <i>B5</i>.
