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 labour But 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.
