The novel is written by writer Catherine Drennan , who is also the author of the script for the episode " Extreme Measures ", which entered the third season of the series. Catherine Drennan is the wife of Joseph Michael Strazinsky, the creator of the series.
The novel stands out sufficiently among similar works, as it is recognized as canonical (that is, fully consistent with the plot arch of the main work), despite the fact that most of the nine books in the series were not recognized as such.
Story
Jeffrey Sinclair , Ambassador of the Earth Alliance in the Minbar Federation , former commander of the Babylon 5 station, was one of the first to learn the truth about the Shadows , an ancient race supposedly striving to destroy the galaxy. Sinclair also discovers a discouraging truth: he himself is one of the foundations of the upcoming fight against them. Now Sinclair has to restore the legendary Minbar military group, the rangers .
Katherine Sakai, a commercial pilot and planetary scout, is in love with Jeffrey Sinclair. Even the Shadow attacks cannot stop her from rejoining him on the Minbar ... and joining the rangers . As she goes through training with the rest of the pilots, such as, for example, the mysterious Marcus Cole , the time is right to test their skills in the first task. Led by Sinclair, they make a journey into outer space. The ending is unpredictable ...
