4.0 out of 5 stars
A good book with a good plot.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Call to Arms (Babylon 5) (Mass Market Paperback)
I think this was a good movie turned into a good tv-movie. The only problem I think is that it need a little more information about the Drakh. Give a little more info I what they have been doing for the past 5 years. Still a good book.

Great!,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Call to Arms (Babylon 5) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have to say that this book is great, unlike what I did with Thridspace I read this book after I saw the movie. It is a quick read and if you are a hard core fan of Babylon 5 you will eat this one up like cadny. I knew that there were some things about the Drazi and because of that I zero into that thing. But what they didn't tell me was the little thing about Dureena while she was on the station. Do you a favor or a treat go and buy this book.

The weakest of the B5 movie novelizations,
By
This review is from: A Call to Arms (Babylon 5) (Mass Market Paperback)
The only reason I decide to read a movie novelization is to see what additional material(internal dialogue, additional scenes) the author injects into the project. Peter David did a great job with "In the Beginning" of expanding on the film and really giving us material that could've been there if not for time constraints.Sheckley brings nothing interesting into "A Call to Arms" that enhances the story and much of the inner dialogue doesn't even seem like the characters. You might as well just watch the movie again if the basic story appeals to you.
