While she has written prose for Twilight Zone magazine, and
other national publications, and is a Clarion graduate, this will mark
her first novel. It's quite good (having read most of it now),
tracking Sinclair's journey from B5 to Minbar, taking up the role of
Ambassador, then transitioning to head of the Rangers.

This book stands to be the first one (closely followed by
Jeanne Cavelos' forthcoming B5 book) that's 100% canon...to be
considered a true chapter in the B5 storyline.

What's fun about it is that it ties all the books and comics
together with the show, and puts it all in chronological order, and
weaves in and out of events in the second season. I think this is
going to be a fan favorite. The Cavelos book follows Anna Sheridan as
she comes to join the crew of the Icarus, and the details of their fate
at Z'ha'dum.

The other books...in broad strokes, I accept they happened, but
in the details, and how they're treated, and some incidentals...they
haven't hit all the right cylinders. This time, with this batch, I got
more directly involved and I think they're definitely improved...though
the Cavelos novel had the least need for input, since she *really* knew
the show.

I think the first one out, the Cavelos book, should be out next
month.

The broad strokes of previous books are generally incorporated
into canon, but henceforth the books will be *based on* canon, which
will help take care of a lot of trouble.
