And the Drakh have willing allies, including one of Londo's own countrymen--Durla, a powerful official with his own sinister agenda. As the abuses of the repressive new Republic escalate, the double-edged Drakh master plan begins to unfold. Their goal is to smash the Interstellar Alliance by assassinating its president, John Sheridan, and to obliterate Earth, using a fabled, monstrous Shadow weapon known as a Planet Killer . . .

Download or read book Interacting with Babylon 5 written by Kurt Lancaster and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book makes a significant contribution to the growing body of scholarship surrounding the participatory communities--i.e. fandoms--that surround cult television shows and films. . . . It will cut across disciplines, finding a readership among sociologists, anthropologists, media scholars, and performance scholars, as well as among fans and lay readers." --Henry Jenkins, author of Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture Much of the pleasure of science fiction and fantasy stems from the genres' ability to transport fans into imaginary worlds that often feel more "real" than ordinary life. This pioneering book uses the insights of performance theory to explore how fans of the television show Babylon 5 actively immerse themselves in its imaginary environment by role-playing games and fan fiction, through which the fans perform--make real--fantasies they previously watched on television. Kurt Lancaster opens with a background analysis of Babylon 5, including creator-producer J. Michael Straczynski's online interaction with fans. Then he thoroughly examines the performance aspects of all the participatory media surrounding the show--the role-playing game, collectable card game, war game, CD-ROM "guidebook," fan fiction, and web pages. His use of performance theory offers a new way of understanding the enormous popularity of imaginary entertainment environments and the fandom surrounding other popular sites of science fiction and fantasy, including Star Trek, Star Wars, and J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. They're about to discover how wrong they are...

Download or read book The Lurker s Guide to Pak ma ra written by Bryan Steele and published by . This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most infamous races of the Babylon 5 universe, the Pak'ma'ra are known as widespread lurkers, carrion eaters, foul-smelling yet consistently present everywhere in the galaxy. They are despised by many races due to others' views on their eating habits and hygiene, with millions of people from dozens of races refusing to know anything but their own stereotypes about the Pak'ma'ra. With this book, we hope to change that image. The Pak'ma'ra may be carrion eaters and religiously-driven invaders of privacy on a galactic scale, but they have a very in depth society and government that this book delves into. Showing the many unique processes found in the hierarchy of the Pak'ma'ra Civility, readers learn the true tenets of the Great Library of Melat and exactly why there is a massive defence fleet waiting in orbit around the Pak'ma'ra homeworld. New feats, prestige classes, and equipment that is focussed on the Pak'ma'ra's mastery of plasma technology can be found within these pages, not to mention a small collection of new starships that gives these otherwise ignored drifters an interesting new role in the Babylon 5 universe. You might just be surprised what you find. That is, if you can get past the smell.
