Summary: The end to a wonderfully fulfilling trilogy
Comment: The final volume in David's "Legions of Fire" series does not disappoint, and the trilogy proves more successful as a whole than the Psi-Corp trilogy did.
Peter David knows Londo, and he knows G'Kar, and the ends of their stories are handled with dignity, passion, and a great appreciation for the characters as well as for those of us who will read this book.
I finally feel that the story of Londo Mollari, perhaps the greatest tale told by Joe Straczynski, has been settled satisfactorily. But I'd like to have heard a bit about G'Kar's years with Lyta! Not part of this particular story, I know, but it wouldn't have been an unwelcome addition.
Peter David's writing style is the best of any author used for any Babylon 5 novel. I'm happy that JMS chose David as his mouthpiece for this, his greatest story. David Sheridan comes off as a bit flat, perhaps, but that may only be because we know the other characters so well.

Summary: AHHH, At last Some Loose Ends Tied neatly,My Good Friend....
Comment: So much of B5 starts with "And so It Begins"... These trilogy booksets seem to come to;"Where It Ends"-No different here with Our "Good Friends"- Londo, G'Kar, Vir ,et al... If you have followed B5 from it's inception as I have, you've seen all this before. Aside from some filler, IN THE BEGINNING, THE DECONSTRUCTION OF FALLING STARS and the great BABYLON SQUARED are rehashed and tied together in this, sadly, last work of the Centauri-fall trilogy. There are several bright spots in here. The semi-introduction of David Sheridan (What was the comment in 'Deconstruction'- " And what about the incident concerning their son?" I can't believe the part he played in this book is the only role he was dreamt up for.) Don't get me wrong, this is a good book to read. I enjoyed it a lot. After the first two there wasn't a hell of a lot to put together. Without those two volumes this was an exercise in re-run-itis.The killing of Our Nemisis the Drakh was a delighful bonus, and I always wondered how the full Londo/G'Kar scene would play out. This work deserves a revered place in B5 history if only for that. Truely the End , My Good Friends.....

Summary: Sleeping in Light
Comment: This book, based on an outline from Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski (so you know it's official), covers the period in B5's history detailing the final years of Emperor Londo Mollari's of Centauri Prime, all while under the thumb of the Drakh.
Bits of the future were only seen in brief glimpses during Babylon 5's run, but this book starts to bring it all together. There were so many "so *that's* what was going on!" moments while reading this book it is a seamless expansion to the ending of the show. Plus the liberation of Centauri Prime and the rise of Emperor Cotto wrap up this twenty-year chronicle.
This series of books really helped paint Londo as a tragic character, and totally redefines Vir's at the same time. If there's one constant in the universe is that things change, and the Centauri Prime Trilogy drives that home. Strongly recommended.
