The review of this Book prepared by Steve




This is the novelization of the classic late 70's movie. It details the story of the betrayal where the Cylons, under a banner of peace, launch a surprise attack which destroys almost all of humanity. The survivors, on the Battlestar Galactica, head off in search of the mystical planet Earth, dogged along the way by the attacking Cylon fleets.
