Product Description:
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?

I've been a major devotee of Babylon 5 from its inception (although starting with Season 2 in particular), but up until today hadn't been aware that canon storyline continuations existed.
Based pretty much solely on Darren Sumner's (creator of GateWorld) recommendation -- reinforced by very positive reviews given by others -- I'm going to order this book now, and assume that I will love it. Ever since Babylon 5 came to an end, I've been wanting to know more about its world.

I found this book both interesting and very helpful in understanding the Techno-mages and in particular, Galen. The back story to what happened to Isabelle and how it affected the young mage is insightful to his later character as seen on Crusade. It also explains his friendship with Alwyn, his relationship with Elric, and why the mages decided to flee known space and hide during the Shadow war. I also liked the explanation on how the technology they used fused to their bodies, how they were trained, ... Read More

This is a well-written novel spinoff from the Babylon 5 and Crusade television series.
Writing is enjoyable, the author appears to have the background data down correctly, and while only 1 character spent any time as a tv character (galen, probably less than 10 crusade episodes + call to arms?) 'early year' books always get some leeway on character development. Obviously Elric was a character in 'geometry of shadows' but 5 minutes of dialogue (if that) is just the bare-bones of a written ... Read More

Cavelos has created the best B-5 trilogy yet. Her novels (Casting Shadows, Summoning Light, and Invoking Darkness) flesh out the background of the techno-mages and Galen's past. She meshes her material with the television series seamlessly and brings out nuances in character and situation. The relationship between the techno-mages and the Shadows is revealed in a striking manner that will satisfy any B-5 fan.
Though the most exciting B-5 trilogy I have yet read, Cavelos has a tendency to ... Read More

I, as a big Bab 5 fan, really liked this. It fills in alot of background for the Tchno-mages and their actions parallel to the series, as well as some things about Galen, who featured so much in Crusade. To some extent, it would do well as a stand-alone, so I look forward to the next two books of the series.
