Voices is the first book in the series of original science fiction novels based on the Emmy Award-winning series Babylon 5 created by J. Michael Straczynski. This book is authored by John Vornholt
This novel is set somewhere in the season 2 timeline of the Babylon 5 TV series. The story revolves around a plot to have the Earth Senate remove PSI Corps from the military and to place it under the control of the private sector.
After a major terrorist attack on a Mars hotel which was to be the location of the PSI Corps Convention, the convention is moved to Babylon 5 and Talia Winters is given the role of coordinator of the event. While having so many PSI Corps on B5 does not sit well with Michael Garibaldi and Susan Ivonava, they do their best to accommodate the wishes of the PSI delegates while under the direct scrutiny of Mr Bester.
After another bombing and attempt on the life of Mr Bester, Talia Winters finds herself under arrest as the primary suspect in the bombing. With the assistance of Ambassador Kosh, Talia escapes to earth where she is pursued by Garibaldi and a PSI Corps Investigator Mr Gray. During their search for Talia, Garibaldi and Gray uncover the plot to replace the PSI Corps Military Controllers and discover the true identity of the bombers.
With a final confrontation on Mars, Garibaldi, Bester, Gray and Talia enlist the assistance of the Free Mars resistance movement to expose the mastermind of the plot. With a little Garibaldi persuasion, Bester finally agrees to reinstate Talia and remove her from the Rogue Telepath hunt list. Garibaldi returns to B5 and Talia is left reflecting on her future and possible relationship with Mr Garibaldi.
This book does contain some elements which are Canon to the series and explains a lot about the relationship between Garibaldi and Talia. The book also shows the development of the eventual relationship of Sheridan and Garibaldi.
