Thanks dude. After a moderately crappy day this is the sort of thing I like to hear!

 

[lastbesthope]

Well as I mentioned a while back, I'd really like to see Shotgun Mike again, any chance of that?

That's up to Matthew. I hope so, he's a great character.

See what happens when I stop lurking through the Mongoose forums long enough to paint some miniatures. I'm gone for a few months and the books are now full steam ahead. I just love this company!

I was just wondering if Canada will have a distribution problem alongside the US, or will Canadian B5 fans be able to pick the books up?

My gf is living in the Greater Toronto Area and it would be nice if she could pick them up there - if she is interested in checking them outh, that is!

Plus, it would mean that US fans could pop across to Montréal, Toronto or Vancouver (or possibly order from a Canadian distributor?) to pick up copies.

From what I know, you guys'll probably get it.

on a related topic to B5 novels, I won a complete set of the original novels (The Shadow Within, Clark's Law etc) on eBay and it arrived today! will post some reviews when I get round to reading them.

BR, read the 9th one first, To Dream In The City OF Sorrows, it is by far the best.

Are the first nine books not in date order? If so would it spoil anything reading To Dream In The City OF Sorrows out of order?

So far have read the first 4 books, up to Clark's Law.

From what I remember, they aren't in date order - The Shadows Within is set in 2257, and Clarke's Law is set when Sheridan is in charge of B5, so they are definitely not in any form of order.

Don't worry about jumping to 9 - it won't spoil anything. City of Sorrows, IMHO, blows the rest clean off the stage.

Most of them don't even have dates, and to my knowledge, none of them interlink and only reference the show in passing. So unless there are some eps you haven't seen, you can read them in any order. A bit like the TV movies, so long as you;ve seen all the 5 seasons, you can watch them in any order you like, with no spoilers.

The TM trilogy is an awesome view of TM's. I highly recommend them!

 

[lastbesthope]

I'm gettig to them, I mean it took me 8 years to get to the Psi Corps Trilogy :lol:

TM this weekend, all being well.

Well so far I have watched all of the series & movies & read all of the comics. I might carry on reading the first 9 books in order. If "To Dream In The City Of Sorrows" is the best then that will give me something to look forward to!!

Thanks guys

IIRC the books have a comment, such as 'this happens between episode Y and episode Z'.

Thats why I thought they were all in order, as the first 4 have been.

I hadn't remembered any dates, but you're right, although #9 seems to lack a date, but you can figure it out pretty easy.
