The Twelve Colonies of man have been at peace for 40 years, ever since defeating the rebellion by the man-made Cylons, mechanical beings designed for manual labourBut now the Cylons have returned. And they intend to destroy all humanity. Only a single warship survived the massive superise attack: Battlestar Galactica. a museum piece on the verge of being decommissioned. But now with a hastily botched together crew of misfits and green recruits she is humanity's sole remaining hope for survival.Based on the hit TV series (which along with Joss Whedon's Firefly has been credited with re-inventing TV SF) this novel is a fast moving, action filled broad-canvas SF thriller, perfect for all fans of the series.
Based on the screenplay by Ronald D. Moore & Christopher Eric James & Glen A. Larson
SUMMARY:
Battlestar Galactica, an original SCI FI Channel miniseries, electrified viewers and critics alike and was hailed as a landmark in sci-fi television. Here, for the first time, is the novel based on that exciting drama.For forty years, the Twelve Colonies of Man were at peace, united since the war against the robotic Cylons. These mechanical beings, created by mankind to perform the manual labor civilization required, were gone forever...or so humanity thought. But in those years, the Cylons developed new Cylons that looked and acted like humans...and then they attacked the Twelve Worlds. Only a single warship survived the massive attack: Battlestar Galactica, the oldest ship in the fleet, ready to be decommissioned and turned into a museum. Commander William Adama, himself set to retire, had but one course: to marshal his meager forces, and somehow keep the Cylons from wiping out the last vestiges of the human race. But their inhuman Cylon enemies-stronger, smarter, and driven to destroy-may be too powerful for them, and all of humanity, to survive.
