Good background books?

[silashand]

Other than the obvious RPG stuff, what would y'all recommend for good background material for the B5 universe? Which novels are good, etc?

Just curious...

Cheers, Gary

[Greg Smith]

The Psi Corps trilogy, Legions of Fire, To Dream in the City of Sorrow and The Shadow Within are worth reading, the others less so.

And the Dilgar War fan-written novel is highly regarded by many.
