Product Description:
For Alfred Bester, "the Corps was mother, the Corps was father."
But now, his Corps was doomed . . .
Under the ruthless command of Alfred Bester, Psi Corps's reign of terror reached unspeakable new heights--and touched off a civil war among the telepaths. Corps minions fought renegade defectors--a new resistance movement determined to overthrow Bester's monstrous regime. But the tide was destined to turn . . .
Interstellar Alliance President John Sheridan intervenes to stop the bloodshed as a new Psi Corps rises from the ashes. Its first mission: to hunt down and neutralize war criminals, individuals such as Bester himself. Once feared across the galaxy, the dreaded hunter becomes the fleeing prey--with Michael Garibaldi in hot pursuit.
Underground and on the run, Bester builds a new life on the ruins of his secret, sinister past. But as the forces of justice--and vengeance--close in, he must confront the hell he created, choose between surrender or survival at any cost, and prepare to make his final stand . . .
There is nothing as dangerous as a predator who has been cornered and has nothing left to lose.
The stunning finale to the new epic trilogy that uncovers the secret history of the Psi Corps.

"Final Reckoning" is the third and final book of a three book series, following Dark Genesis: The Birth of the Psi Corps (Babylon 5) (which sets up the backstory of Psi Corps) and Deadly Relations: Bester Ascendant (Babylon 5) (which give Bester's backstory as a child and early career).
As with "the other two books, this was well written and J. Gregory Keys did a great job inserting his vision Bester's life into the B5 universe. No plot spoilers from me, the story is set after most of ... Read More

Not only the story was faithful to the TV series, but the psychology of the characters was so well represented and respected that I could see Walter Koenig in my mind as I read the lines in this book. The sarcasm and superiority Bester speaks with during the TV show that Walter represented so impressively well, can be found in each and every line of these dialogues. That also goes for Mr. Garibaldi, but being Bester such a complex character, it caught my attention immediately that I could picture Walter ... Read More

This third book about the psi corps is very good because it ties up all the little threads that were in the first 2. Plus it made a monster into a man and you could see the truth of the winners writing history. History would have been very different if Bestor had won. I took a star away from this one because there are still some technical writing errors.

Three two prior books in this collection have been outstanding.
This book is no different. It is excellent work, the only thing that may dissapoint you is the continuation from the previous books. The first two books cover the beginning of the resistance and the birth and experience of Alfred Bester.
The third book starts after the Psi-Corps Civil war when Alfred is on the run. A major story-line has been skipped, but not to worry though, there are a few references to the war in ... Read More

Alfred Bester, played by Walter Koenig, was one of the best "bad guys" on the TV show. His flat sense of humor showed a darker side to him - a side that we became quite familiar with during his forays onto the station. Yet there was always a sense of tenderness underneath the character, a glimpse of someone whose heart wasn't blackened by the hatred he felt for those who aimed to hurt him. This book explores that side of Mr. Bester. The side that wanted to come out from the dark recesses of his soul, and ... Read More
