Product Description:
The electrifying space epic reaches an explosive climax
when one techno-mage battles the ultimate evil
As billions die and the flames of destruction rage unchecked, the Shadows seem poised for absolute victory. Soon the entire galaxy will fall to their evil. But the war isn't over . . . not yet. At long last, in a forgotten corner of the universe, Galen has finally won the Circle's permission to leave the techno-mage hiding place. He is the only mage who has faced the Shadows and lived, the only one who possesses the unstoppable Spell of Destruction.
Galen's orders are clear. Though the galaxy is being torn apart by bloody conflict–in which his powers might tip the balance–he is to locate only three key enemies and kill them. But Galen has unearthed the Shadows' darkest secret–and discovered a monstrous truth about himself.
In this desperate, apocalyptic battle, there's no telling who will be the victor. Or if there will be any survivors at all . . .

I have always been fascinated by those rare works of art which echo their own form or creation. Some artists, by conscious effort or fortunate instinct, manage to convey their messages not only internally in their art but also externally through the object of art and its place in the world. The multitalented Jeanne Cavelos manages to create just such a work in her Babylon 5 based trilogy The Passing of the Techno-Mages.
On one level Invoking Darkness, the final book in the trilogy, ... Read More

This, like book 2, borrows heavily from the TV show, mainly the last episode of season 3, and expects us to believe all this other stuff was going on at the same time that we never saw, such as but not limited to (spoilers) galen helping sheridan fight drahk and others on z'ha'dum, even telling him so, galen saving morden from the nuke blast, galen meeting lorien, galen planting the idea to see the imminent attack pattern in shadow dancing, there are more than I can easily recall. Also, a fair amount ... Read More

Sigh. It's over - no new techno-mage books left to read. That's the one thing that's very wrong about this book: it's the last one of the trilogy, and still leaves quite a gap between its end and the B5 movie Call to Arms, the first TV-thing that includes Galen. Also, one big question remains at the end, and I doubt we'll ever hear the answer: What happens to the techno-mages? Does the "Passing" in the title just point to their passing into hiding and away from the world, or their actual death and the ... Read More

So thats why the series was titled "The Passing of the Techno Mages." I'm rather dissapointed! O.K. Volume 1 introduced us to the Mysterious characters that where introduced on the B5 and Crusade t.v. series's. We learn they accomplish their magic with the aid of an alien implant called a chrystalis. Volume 2 We learn the secret history of the alien implants, they come from the Shadows; planners and instigators of chaos and war, eternal enemies of the Vorlons. Volume 3 We learn how the Shadows sadistically ... Read More

Ah...my two favorite characters in the same book...unfortunately, I've only read the exerpt, but from what I read, this book rivals the New Frontier saga in complexity, quality of writing, and interest factor! From the very beginning I was routing for Galen, who's struggles are not unlike that of Kaylenn (see link: http://s2.invisionfree.com/Star_Trek_Galaxy). I can't wait to get the book and read on, and obviously the first two are required reads.
