ATTENTION: Some bookstores have the book title listed incorrectly on their computers. If your local bookstore can't find Babylon 5: Casting Shadows, ask them to look under the title The Passing of the Techno-Mages. A number of bookstore databases mistakenly have the title listed as this. Or to bypass any confusion, just provide your bookstore with the ISBN 0-345-42721-1. |
Praise for Babylon 5: Casting Shadows Book 1 of The Passing of the Techno-Mages trilogy |
|
A knowledge of the Babylon 5 universe is not required to enjoy this, but for those who have been following the series for some time, Casting adds a new depth, new layers, that have not been shown in any previous tie-in book. It is the rare book that not only matches the quality of the material it is based upon, but surpasses it. . . . Events range from falling-out-of-your-chair laughter . . . to ripping-your-heart-out sadness. I have heard people talk before about books they just couldn't put down . . . but I had never experienced that feeling. Until now."
|
In fact, CASTING SHADOWS is probably the best novel with which to introduce new readers to BABYLON 5. It is a strong novel in its own right and doesn't deserve to be classed as a mere 'media novel.'"
|
Not 'television episodic' in look and feel. They are truly novels in their own right."

Back Cover: |
The spectacular space epic continues, as the techno-mages face the growing threat of the Shadows... As Elric and his student Galen watch with taut anticipation, dragons, angels, and shooting stars rain from the sky, heralding the arrival of the techno-mages on the planet Soom. It's the first time Elric--a member of the ruling Circle--has hosted such a gathering, and if all goes well, Galen and the other apprentices will emerge triumphant from the grueling initiation rites, ready to embrace their roles as full mages among the most powerful beings in the known universe. But rumors fly of approaching danger and Galen and his young lover, Isabelle, are chosen to investigate the dark tidings. An ancient race has awakened after a thousand years, thirsty for war, slaughter, and annihilation. Will the techno-mages be the deciding factor in the war ahead? Or the first casualties? |
