(  ) pockafwye | Jun 3, 2007 | The Technomages are gathering on the planet Soom for their convocation, only held every few years. All mages will be present that can be, and all the apprentices too. Galen is one among them, and this time is very important for at this convocation he will take his initiation and become a full Technomage. But times aren’t easy for the Technomages – the Shadows have returned to their ancient home and ready themselves for war. Galen and his friend are sent on a task to bring back proof that the Shadows have returned... This Babylon 5 book, the first in the Technomage trilogy, has very little to do with Babylon 5. The Technomages only ever appeared in one or two episodes of the series, and the main character appeared in the ill-fated Crusade. It does link in a little, for the mages are investigating the Shadows, and Morden appears on a couple of occasions, but I don’t believe Babylon 5 itself is ever mentioned. Still, I found this to be the best Babylon 5 book yet written. The Technomages fascinate me, and the story grips me. I would highly recommend this book.
