Where can I find a list of all the B5 books/novels/print ever produced? Thanks!

I found this list on a B5 site:

This reminds me. I need to reinvest in completing my B5 Book collection, and replace a couple of them that got damaged.

Rommie ^_^

Just finished To Dream in the City of Sorrows for the first time (took a while to get around to it....) and, I must say, I was impressed. I thought she wrote the characters ver well and true to themselves. It did a nice job of filling in the gaps, and was definitely a good read.

I enjoyed it too. And I think I've even read it twice.

Now I need to force myself to finish the psi corps trilogy... the first book didn't impress me much, so I stopped there, but I've heard it gets better. Thing is, Iit's been so long and I've forgotten so much that I'll have to suffer through the first one again before I can read the toher two.

 

[RW7427]

Yeah, I didn't care much for the first book in the Psi trilogy either, but the next two are indeed better.

It does get better.

Oh, I don't know.

The Centauri and Technomage trilogies are each trilogies that tell one big story, so that you really want to have the events of the previous book (or two) pretty fresh in your mind.

The Psi Corps trilogy leans much more toward being three books that are sequels to each other because the are in the same "world" and share some of the same characters (and/or include some characters that are descendants of earlier characters). However, they really didn't strike me as being one big story where the previous book was almost like earlier chapters of the current book.

I'm in the minority. It took me a bit to warm up to all the new characters in Book 1 of the PsiCorps trilogy, but, I found it enjoyable, and it does definitely give you a sense of the history of PsiCorps, as well as show you where Bester came from.

 

[PillowRock]

I found book 1 of the Psi Corps trilogy to be an interesting read, as well.

I was just saying that if someone didn't enjoy it, they don't necessarily need to re-read it before going back to the second book of the trilogy. The books of that trilogy stand more apart from each other in that regard than the books in the other two trilogies.
