What a wonderfully insightful look into a particularly interesting character This book was a little bit slow but the links and tie ins and background information makes for a very interesting read and makes me love the series even Bester is among the most compelling characters in the whole Babylon 5 storyline, and it was wonderful to get some extra background on him I liked this less on its own merits than as a good way to think about a character I found particularly interesting.Ok, unlike the first book in this series, I did enjoy this second one Seemed to have better pacing, and I caredabout the characters This was a good time for someone like me who loves the whole B5 world.
