3.0

Probably the weakest of the official books outlined and sanctioned by JMS. I'd say, if you're a huge B5 fan/completionist, read it, otherwise skip it. There's a lot of important dangling plot threads from the show(s) that get wrapped up here which is great for completionists...but as a standalone book, or even as the finale to a stand-alone trilogy, it doesn't work wonderfully.
