The last true hope for freedom, Babylon 5 is struggling to survive.
The station has severed its ties with Earth--and has been
quarantined in retaliation.
Then, in the depths of hyperspace, a squad of Starfuries makes an
astounding discovery that could affect the destiny of the civilized
universe. But have the pilots from the embattled space station
uncovered the threshold to a new age . . . or a gateway to
hell?
As they recover a gargantuan alien artifact floating derelict in
space, both Captain Sheridan and archaeologist Elizabeth Quijana
know it is a gold mine of possibilities. But the telepath Lyta is
the first to sense the danger, when her mind is assaulted by swift,
crippling images of unspeakable terror. And as research teams
attempt to penetrate the mysteries of the mammoth machine, Babylon
5 is thrust toward a terrifying confrontation with the monstrous
dimension of Thirdspace . . .
