(No explicit spoilers, but this message may contain implied spoilers to
the astute of connection for any of the following: the Crusade scripts
"To the Ends of the Earth" & "End of the Line", the B5 novel "The Shadow
Within", and the upcoming technomage trilogy. Spoiler-squeamish readers
are advised to use caution.)

I read the two Crusade scripts on Bookface last night. Wow. Please tell
me that Del Rey and/or Jeanne Cavelos were provided with those scripts
as part of the prep work for the technomage trilogy. At Marcon last
month, Steve Saffel (from Del Rey) was dropping tantalizing teases (but
no actual info, durnit!) about the technomage trilogy that implied that
the revelations in those two scripts would be a major part of those
novels.

Speaking of Jeanne, after finally reading "The Shadow Within", and
matching that up with those two scripts, I can see why she was chosen to
write that trilogy. "The Shadow Within" is one greatly disturbing novel.
Jeanne really has a feel for that material.

If those two scripts can't sell Crusade to the Sci-Fi Channel, nothing
can.

Can you tell us anything yet about the timeframe for publication of
the first technomage book?

Just curious: will the trilogy reveal much of the pre-B5 backstory
of the technomages? The more I've seen in Crusade and elsewhere, the
more intrigued I am.
