Babylon 5 Vol. 4.02: The Summoning/Falling Toward Apotheosis

The last of it's kind, the huge Babylon 5 space station is the last, best hope for victory for an alliance of the galaxy's leading races against an ancient evil. THE SUMMONING A miracle: Captain Sheridan survived the nuclear holocaust he unleashed on the Shadow homeworld of Z'Ha'Dum. His return to Babylon 5, accompanied by Lorien, the enigmatic being he met at Z'Ha'Du, unites the alies for a final and decisive showdown with the Shadows. Triumph is however tempered by the incredible news that the Vorlons have unleashed the Planet Killer, a ship big enough to vapourise entire worlds, to destroy any place or world touched by the Shadows. And that includes Babylon 5... Meanwhile, the mystery of Garibaldi's disappearance may at last be solved, and G'Kar suffers unspeakable tortures at the hands of insane Emperor Cartagia as Londo and Vir look on, helpless. FALLING TOWARD APOTHEOSIS As the Vorlons continue their scorched Earth campaign through the galaxy, refugees flood into Babylon 5 from every sector. As the threat of violent death spreads to the Centauri homeworld, Emperor Cartagia reveals his insane conviction that the obliteration of Centauri Prime will be the inaugural pyre to commemorate his ascension to godhood. The savage aggression of the Vorlons is also mirrored in their new ambassador to Babylon 5: Kosh, a ruthless, pitless creature. As Sheridan and Garibaldi plan to rid the station of Kosh, they risk unleashing the awesome, millennia old power of the Vorlon. They may not survive, but then Sheridan might not have long anyway... © PTN Consortium
