Novel list

Unique to the Babylon 5 Universe is the sanctioned canonicity of many of its offshoot novels and comic book stories; nearly all of the Babylon 5 novels and novelizations to date having been based on outlines written directly by JMS. The later Del Rey books are considered to be more canonical than some of the earlier Dell ones, although – per Straczynski's own remarks – canonical elements exist in every single book published to date; Straczynski's deeper involvement in the novel-publishing program from 1996 onward having ensured a greater level of canonicity within such works. Specifically To Dream in the City of Sorrows is said in the introduction by Straczynski to be "...considered as authentic as any episode in the regular series."
