There's really not much beyond that, or any plot that tries to tie some of the events together. In some ways that's a good thing, there's no contrived plot just to walk us through Bester's life, but then again, there's no plot.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad book at all. It really does a good job of detailing Bester's back story, even an ingenious little aside as to why one if his hands is paralyzed. Babylon 5 fans will probably appreciate it, but they'll likely appreciate it in the same sense that they like reading articles from the creator of Babylon 5 that offer some back story. Not because they enjoy the articles themselves, so much, but because they enjoy the added revelations that get added to the main Babylon 5 stories.

Not that this book read like a dry posting from the Babylon 5's creator, but it wasn't that far off.
