The television sci-fi series "Crusade" managed to survive only for 13 episodes during its first -- and last -- season on the WB network. The show follows the crew of the spaceship Excalibur and their efforts to cope while residents of planet Earth are stricken by a scourge of deadly disease. The team must find a cure deep in space for the plague, a mandate that's not only difficult but extremely dangerous.
You should read the Technomage trilogy. You get to learn how Morden survived the atomic attack on Zahadoom. And why there will never be Technomages again. I have the books in ePub format.
