========    b. Novels

 01/98  Novelization of "In the Beginning" by Peter David

From JMS:
"Del Rey has signed a deal with WB to do the B5 novels henceforth, and as
part of that will be doing a series of three, 3-book arcs (for a total of 9 in
addition to stand-alone B5 novels) which will feature an overall story that
I'll assign to the writers involved.  The goal is to keep them within canon,
but allow the writers some degree of freedom, and to fill in some of the
corners in the B5 universe.  For instance, one 3-book arc may be the story of
the fall of Centauri Prime; another might be the history of the Psi Corps and
what made Bester what he is; and the third set strongly on the B5 station
itself."
 
========    c. Comics

      01/98  12  In Valen's Name
      02/98  13  In Valen's Name 2
      03/98  14  In Valen's Name 3
