Description:This release completes the 2-volume CRUSADE: OTHER VOICES series.If this book weren't already titled CRUSADE: OTHER VOICES, we could have named it "THE LOST TALES" because this volume includes THREE never-before-published CRUSADE scripts:1) “Value Judgments,” is the infamous unfilmed CRUSADE script featuring the return of BABYLON 5’s Alfred Bester.2) “Tried and True,” features a one-on-one confrontation between Dureena and her Thieves’ Guild mentor, Mafeek of Tripani 7 (if the name sounds familiar, it’s because he was mentioned in BABYLON 5: A CALL TO ARMS).3) “War Story,” 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,” 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.If you’ve ever longed for more than the thirteen produced episodes of CRUSADE, this material will take you on a guided tour of the latter half of season one, showing you what might have been. Unrealized storylines including Lieutenant Matheson face-to-face with Alfred Bester, Dureena's life in the Thieves’ Guild and Earthforce Marines in an all-out battle with the Drakh.Now that you've got the overview, let's get to the details:In Peter David’s introduction, you’ll discover:* Why the Mars police lieutenant was named “Carr.”* The reason he added Max Eilerson to the story when the character was not present in JMS’s premise for the episode.* How the Joan of Arc element found its way into the story.* How a misremembered name from a Broadway musical led to the character called LeBecque.* Which beloved BABYLON 5 character shared Max Eilerson’s sense of humor.* Why Peter David was disappointed with the portrayal of Joan of Arc in the finished episode.* How budgetary restrictions threw a monkeywrench in the wheels...er...hover mechanism of a skimmer chase across the Martian surface.* Why the bomb’s countdown clock stopped at 018 (instead of James Bond’s preferred 007 or the even more cliched 001), and how that tied into the theme of the episode.* The story’s original ending, which David changed when he remembered he was "writing CRUSADE, not TWILIGHT ZONE.”Richard Mueller’s in-depth interview reveals:* How a writer who’d had no involvement with BABYLON 5 came to write an episode of CRUSADE.* What parameters JMS established for the writing of the critical episode in which Dureena was to have been kidnapped.* What historical naval battle informed his CRUSADE story and why.* Which character he had to rein in lest they become the star of his episode.* Why his script for “War Story” exists, even though he was never given the official go-ahead to write it.But that’s not all—in addition to the four scripts, Peter David’s introduction and the Richard Mueller interview, you’ll get:JMS’s handwritten notes for the episode that eventually became “Ruling From the Tomb,” which featured “MIKE,” A BRAND NEW CRUSADE CHARACTER who never made it to the screen.The premise JMS wrote for Peter David to work from in crafting “Ruling From the Tomb.” In it, you’ll learn how the cure to the Drakh plague would have been distributed once it was discovered, and why Dr. Chambers might have had a problem with the plan.The biography of IPX archaeologist Maximilian Eilerson written by actor David Allen Brooks, as well as a trio of poems (one R-rated) that he wrote from Max’s point of view.A May 2011 interview with Dureena Nafeel actress Carrie Dobro, where she describes her feelings about the two new Dureena-centric scripts featured in this volume that she had never seen before. Find out how she felt when she revisited the character after a dozen years.An interview with Warner Bros. executive Gregg Maday, who served as the studio’s liaison for both BABYLON 5 and CRUSADE, where he offers his perspective on what went wrong with CRUSADE and TNT mere days before the series finished its original run in 1999. (Yes, this is THAT Gregg Maday, seen lurking in the making-of documentaries on the BABYLON 5: LOST TALES DVD.)Three unused story ideas writer Richard Mueller pitched to JMS before landing the assignment to write “War Story.” Discover the secret of the Durkonans—a species that never gets sick—in “A Fire in the Blood.” Join Captain Gideon at a card game with potentially life-saving stakes in “House Odds.” Finally, “Mixed Blessings” finds the EXCALBUR crew stranded in an asteroid belt where Galen makes a startling discovery. These stories were never meant to be, but they’re here for you to see.A detailed synopsis of “The Walls of Hell”— an episode to be written by Larry DiTilli...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
