Par Un client

When I saw that Baltar was on the cover I had to read this book. It's pretty good. Some of it is wonderful. Some of it could have been better. Baltar's place in this story made this BSG fan very pleased. Fans of laser beams and lots of exploding ships wont get hardly any of that in this one. Destiny is a book about people. Apollo, Starbuck, and the others are all portrayed as being very human. They always were but this book brings that forward and puts explosions and lasers largely on hold. Even the cylons are psychological in this one! You'll have to judge for yourself if that idea works or not. I thought it was a novel approach and enjoyed getting into Baltar's mind.

2.0�toiles sur 5 IT IS YOUR DESTINY- NOT TO READ THIS BOOK!, Juil 15 2004

Par	Robert Mills "Earl of Devonshire" (Kobol) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

I am a HUGE fan of the first 3 BSG books in this series, especially Armageddon and Warhawk. Those were fun books with tons o' action and hot warrior and cylon action. They were like really good episodes of the second season that never was (BSG 80 doesn't count). But all of the collaborations with Brad Linaweaver are just plain awful. Linaweaver is a simply horrific writer. His sentences and dialogue are completely disjointed, illogical, and nonsensical. The plot and story don't go anywhere. There is a lot about what people are thinking and no one is actually doing anything. Hey Hatch, how about some action and some Cylons!!! How about good story and plot??!! Too much to ask, I guess!! And Starbuck is once again turned into a minor character, whereas Hatch's Apollo is a divine god. Get back with Chris Golden and write some good books again. This Linaweaver is just such a bad, bad, bad writer.

Par	Jim R. (Butte, Montana) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I haven't always had great luck with books based on my favorite TV shows. Often I read them and half way through I find myself wondering "who the hell are these people?" or "what the hell is happening?". Some of these types of books completely fail to capture the tone, stlye, characters, and events of the show. In an attempt to do something different they toss the baby out with the bath water.

Other books based on my favorite TV shows have the reverse problem. Those books are just "the same old same old". It's the same old thing done the same old way. It's all way too formulaic. Reading them makes me feel like I've seen it all before.

Destiny tries to avoid some of the beloved cliches from the TV show by being more about empathy than spectacle. There's little of the standard space dogfights and cylons this time around. This helps make things a little less of the "same old same old" without completely warping the whole thing into something that wouldn't be Battlestar Galactica. All of my favorite Battlestar Galacticans are in Destiny and their individual personalities are well done. In some ways Destiny reads like a love story but I didn't find that to be a bad thing. I had a good time reading this.

The other reviews are right about the typos. They're also right about this seeming more like an episode of a bigger story than a complete novel. Read more

I've been enjoying Richard Hatch's series of Galactica books. But "Destiny" left me feeling a little shortchanged. Read more
