J. Michael Straczynski's epic space opera Babylon 5 is unusual in that the science fiction show comprises a single story evolving over five years. This volume provides a broad overview of the tale as well as examining the minutiae of each episode. There are detailed plot synopses, a guide to the station that gives the series its name, a history of the Babylon 5 universe, and a lighter look at the characters. The book also quotes some of the show's more humorous dialogue. There is an introductory essay by the programme's creator, and an enlightened discussion of the series' influences, themes, and the famed story arc.

A television series is tagged with the label "cult" by the media, advertisers, and network executives when it is considered edgy or offbeat, when it appeals to nostalgia, or when it is considered emblematic of a particular subculture. By these criteria, almost any series could be described as cult. Yet certain programs exert an uncanny power over their fans, encouraging them to immerse themselves within a fictional world. In Cult Television leading scholars examine such shows as The X-Files; The Avengers; Doctor Who, Babylon Five; Star Trek; Xena, Warrior Princess; and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to determine the defining characteristics of cult television and map the contours of this phenomenon within the larger scope of popular culture.

From "The Next Generation" and "The X-Files", to "Farscape" and "Enterprise", sci-fi television series in the US have multiplied since the 1980s. Jan Johnson-Smith shows how, in line with national political upheavals, this vibrant and perplexing genre set about expanding the myth of the Western frontier into deep space. She looks at the "sense of wonder" or sublime that infuses much Frontier art and science fiction, and traces a possible historical precedent to the genre in the fabulous and heroic journeys of the Classical epic. She discusses narrative styles and their influences, from the overarching narrative of "Babylon 5" to the episodic formula of "The Outer Limits", considers how experimental series such as "Twin Peaks" challenge conventional structures, and how and why sci-fi television has adopted new technologies. She also explores the juxtaposition of arcane language and technological jargon in modern American sci-fi television, revealing the extraordinarily alien, yet curiously familiar arena it creates.

Investigating a burglary at an English country house, DI Robbie Peele comes face to face with some of the most mysterious objects in world archaeology, disks similar to the Phaestos Disk - and with a Middle Eastern terrorist cell determined to steal them. Why - and why are Mossad involved?. The vital clue is a long abandoned Muslim village in Crete, where terrible things happened more than a century ago, witnessed by a Victorian gentleman explorer who recorded what he saw in coded diaries. Seeking the truth about the strange disks, Peele and his assistant, Sarah Shipton, head to Crete. But Crete poses as many puzzles as it solves. In the end Peele has to ask far harder questions than simply who did the original burglary - the answer to which infuriates him. What do the disks really say, in what language, and who made them? And why is the answer so dangerous to peace in the Middle East?
