Deadly Relations: Bester Ascendant by Greg Keyes
3.0
This is the second book in the trilogy about Bester, the Psi Cop from the Babylon 5 TV series. I’ve always been a big fan of the TV show, so I was pleased to discover that books based on the series could be pretty good.
This installment of the trilogy covers the demise of the Telepath Underground on Earth and the rise of the Psi Corps, which was created by the Earth Government to ‘protect’ telepaths from beinng killed by ‘mundanes’ who feared their suprahuman powers. Alfred Bester is a key character in the Babylon 5 TV series; this novel charts his early life in the schools of the Corps and his subsequent rise to power.
