“For almost a decade, Jason Davis has been looking after Harlan Ellison’s legacy, launching a successful Kickstarter to preserve his papers and an online store to issue definitive reissues of his work. The history of Babylon 5 couldn’t be in better hands.”

“Jason edited my Babylon 5 memoirs and thank goodness he did because even though I was on the series from the pilot, he knew way more about B5 than I did or ever will. The fact he loved the show and edited over thirty B5-related books gives him the expertise to create a new experience for readers who like (LOVE) Babylon 5.”

Why Humanity Is My Business: In the Babylon 5 episode “Moments of Transition” (1997), Alfred Bester (Walter Koenig) misquoted the ghost of Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol (1843) by Charles Dickens. “Mankind was my business” becomes “Humanity is my business.” Thus was this website titled. A bit circuitous? Perhaps.
