But how did this  apocalyptic conflict erupt? And how did this fateful clash  of two civilizations ultimately lead to the creation of the  Babylon 5 space station? Here, at last, the great space  epic unfolds, in a new novel based on the first full-length  Babylon 5 television movie. Eager to expand their trade  with other worlds, the people of planet Earth attempt to  make contact with the mysterious Minbari, a race of proud  and powerful warriors. But when communication turns to  violence, Earth becomes the target of a latter-day holy  war, waged by a civilization possessing vastly superior  numbers and firepower.And the Minbari will stop at nothing  short of the total extermination of its enemy: the Human  race.},
