(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.
