Thank you, Mr. B5 Moderator, for putting this up. Peter David really is a good writer and wrote an enjoyable trilogy here.

I'll have to reread the series to refresh my memory on all the nits. One I still remember is, when Lione is recruiting Mariel, while on the subject of cross species attraction, Lione comments that the Narn find pale skin exotic. Yet in the episode Soul Mates, Mariel is quite tan. Though admittedly, with the lifestyle she's had over the last few years, it wouldn't be surprising that she's lost it.

BTW, anyone want to hazard a guess as to what exactly going as high as three means? ;)

It has to do with Centauri, attributes.

As usual, Peter David outdoes himself. These novels tie in well with the story and wrap up many loose ends. Far and away the best Babylon 5 novels I have read! This trilogy would make an excellent mini-series. It would have to be at least 6 hours though. JMS, are you listening???

But she's still not nearly as dark as a Narn. I also liked that bit because civilizations always think whatever they don't normaly have is attractive. White people in the US and Europe risk cancer to get tan skin. People in India think of light skin as more atractive and some places in affrica people take dangerous skin lighteners to get whiter skin.

Then there is michael Jackson who hasnt quite decided what he wants to look like.

Unfortunately, neither can his doctors.
