description: For ten thousand years we have been prisoners. For ten thousand years we have had one ambition one dream: to strike back . . . On an ancient nameless world latter-day tomb raiders have unearthed the ultimate trophy: the key to the mystery of death--and the promise of immortality. But the desecration has not gone unnoticed. Nor will it go unchallenged--as a terrifying conflict between ordinary mortals a mysterious superrace and a force beyond life itself erupts on the Babylon 5 space station. Dr. Richard Bryson arrives on Babylon 5 with the extraordinary artifact that sent his comrades to a horrifying death. Pursuing him is an envoy of the Soul Hunters: enigmatic beings who harvest and preserve the essence of the dying. Caught in the middle are the residents of Babylon 5 including Captain Elizabeth Lochley Michael Garibaldi and Zack Allan. None of them knows the shocking truth about the ancient Vessel of Souls. But when an armed armada of Soul Catchers arrives to reclaim their wondrous prize the stage is set for an apocalyptic day of reckoning for all . . .
