Dark Genesis: The Birth of the PSI Corps - Prologue and Part 1: Holocaust

[ruuger]

This is the discussion post for the prologue and the first part of Gregory J. Keys' Dark Genesis: The Birth of the PSI Corps. Spoilers for the whole of the series, including the spin-offs and tie-ins, are allowed here so newbies beware.

The first chapter introduces the discovery of telepaths and how the society reacts to them. How do you think the book holds up worldbuilding-wise so far? Does it fit the B5 universe even though there are no familiar characters?
