The Drakh have assaulted Earth with deadly Shadow technology but the worst is yet to come in this stunning continuation of the Babylon 5 epic adventure.Centauri Prime has been infiltrated by malevolent allies of the Shadows, creatures known as the Drakh While Centauri citizens continue to rebuild their war torn planet, their secret masters work feverishly toward one ultimate goal to crush the Interstellar Alliance once and for all.As the Drakh carry out their horrific plans, Emperor Londo Mollari languishes on his throne, a puppet of the Drakh bred keeper, an insidious creature that monitors his every thought, word, and action While the emperor broods, the power obsessed Lord Durla an unwitting Drakh pawn follows his own agenda But Drakh control is not absolute Vir Cotto a most unlikely hero has begun a resistance movement, and Alliance President John Sheridan has sent his most trusted troubleshooter, Michael Garibaldi, to investigate Yet this move may prove costly, and though the Centauri continue to build a new military machine, the Alliance avoids any overt confrontation, hoping the problem will go away.
