Crusade Other Voices Volume 2

Volume 2 of 2 of the Other Voices script book series for the Babylon 5 spinoff Crusade.

This volume includes three never-before-published CRUSADE scripts: "Value Judgments" by BABYLON 5 reference editor Fiona Avery is the infamous unfilmed CRUSADE script featuring the return of BABYLON 5's Alfred Bester. "Tried and True" by Fiona Avery features a one-on-one confrontation between Dureena and her Thieves' Guild mentor, Mafeek of Tripani 7. "War Story" by Richard Mueller is the first episode of an unfinished three-part story that would have seen Dureena abducted by a mysterious alien ship after a huge battle with the Drakh.

There's also "Ruling From the Tomb" by Peter David, in which Captain Gideon and the EXCALIBUR crew seek to capture a murderer bent on derailing a conference seeking a cure for the Drakh plague. For this episode, we've also included writer Peter David's original outlines, one featuring the return of a fan-favorite BABYLON 5 character who DID NOT appear in the finished episode.

This volume is packed with extras, including an introduction to "Ruling From the Tomb" by Peter David, an in-depth interview with Richard Mueller, JMS's handwritten notes for the episode that eventually became "Ruling From the Tomb," the premise JMS wrote for Peter David to work from in crafting "Ruling From the Tomb," the biography of IPX archaeologist Maximilian Eilerson written by actor David Allen Brooks, a May 2011 interview with Dureena Nafeel actress Carrie Dobro, an interview with Warner Bros. executive Gregg Maday, three unused story ideas writer Richard Mueller pitched to JMS before landing the assignment to write "War Story," a detailed synopsis of "The Walls of Hell," 59 concept drawings, as well as our definitive guide to the six different ways to watch CRUSADE.
