Product Description

A novelisation of episodes from the award-winning science fiction series. The last-surviving Battlestar, Galactica, leads the survivors of a terrible war to the mythical safety of Earth. Across many galaxies, they face many dangers, and are relentlessly pursued by the Cylons, a robot race determined to destroy all humankind. Battlestar Galactica was one of the most successful movies of the 1970s. Riding the wave of sci-fi popularity after Star Wars, the movie was followed by 5 TV series and a cult following of millions of fans. Richard Hatch played the hero Apollo in the movie. Stan Timmons was the author of ibooks' successful novelisation of the Sony animated film HEAVY METAL: F.A.K.K.2.


From the Publisher

The battlestar Galactica and the colonial fleet are in serious trouble. Their last encounter with the Cylons and the fierce alien race called the Chitain have left them crippled and exhausted and depleted of food and fuel. And they are still in Cylon space.

But Commander Apollo's next confrontation is with one of his own, as grizzled war veteran Commander Cain challenges him for leadership. Apollo wants to take the remnants of the fleet to a planet indicated on the mysterious holocube that was discovered on an abandoned Cylon outpost--a holocube that purportedly shows the path of expansion and exploration through the galaxy by the vanished Thirteenth Tribe. Cain prefers to make his stand right here, but is overruled by the late Commander Adama's son.

Apollo may win this fight, but he may not win the battle. For the next planet indicated on the holocube is also known to the Cylons, and they are waiting for the Galacticans in full force. It's only through the intervention of their newly installed quantum-shift technology that the fleet manages to escape the trap, as they are warped halfway across the galaxy to find themselves once again at their starting point: the planet Kobol--the birthplace of the Kobollian race that was destroyed by the Cylons twenty yahren ago.

Why have they been brought back to Kobol, and who is responsible for it? Have the Lords of Light granted them a new beginning? Or is this another plot by the Lord of Evil, Count Iblis, to finally exact his revenge against Adama's family and the entire Galactican fleet? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars get the paperback, Jun 14 2004
By A Customer
I gave this book one star when it came out in hardback. That edition was a major disappointment. Richard Hatch claimed that the publisher had printed a very early draft of the story by mistake. It sure looked that way to me. I hoped that the publisher would correct that mistake by using the completed draft in future printings. I have now read the paperback edition of Resurrection and they got it right. Resurrection is a marvelous novel that's on par with the first two books in the series. Skip the hardback, but order the paperback.

5.0 out of 5 stars GOOD STORY, Jun 2 2004
By A Customer
Warning: This book suffers from a lack of decent editing.

HOWEVER: It's still a great read. I loved the story. I enjoyed the characters. The evolving mythos is engrossing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst editing ever, Feb 3 2004
By J. Okerlund "J.Paul Okerlund" (Jamestown, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Resurrection (Hardcover)
After really enjoying Richard Hatch's first two books in this series, I was surprised at how terrible this book was. I have never seen a book edited this poorly. On top of that, many of the plots from the first two books were dropped, or took off at 90 degree angles for no reason. No good reasons (or any reason at all) were given for the changes. Perhaps it was all the fault of the new coauthor. If so, Mr. Hatch needs to do a better job of previewing what he attaches his name too.
