About the Book
Sometimes no news is bad news.
It's been twenty years since the end of the Cylon war. The twelve human colony worlds are rebuilding, and the Cylons . . . the Cylons have been just too quiet. They are nowhere to be found. The robotic race that tried to obliterate their creators has gone to parts unknown in deep space.
The aftermath of the war has created a new, illegal profession: scavenger. Tom Zarek is one, scouring the outer settlements for valuable Cylon technologies and artifacts and usually returning empty-handed. But now, he and the crew of the Cruiser "Lightning" have found the Omega Station, a scientific station shrouded in secrecy beyond the edge of charted space. This is it, the big score, except something is wrong the base is still occupied, not by humans alone; by Cylons too!
The "Battlestar Galactica," one of the oldest warships in the fleet, receives the "Lightning"'s distress call, a cryptic one-word message: "Cylons." William Adama, newly promoted to second-in-command, is worried. Most of his crew are green, new recruits, not prepared for anything but the most routine missions. And, as Adama soon discovers, this mission is anything but routine. Omega is indeed full of Cylons, but also something much more disturbing . . .

Review :
Praise for the "Battlestar Galactica" TV series:
"This story of enemies within is dead serious, and seriously good."
--James Poniewozik, "Time" Magazine
"It's all been said before, but I'll say it again: "Battlestar Galactica" is much, much better than you can possibly imagine. The battle scenes are claustrophobic and paranoia-inducing; the power struggles are complicated and nuanced like the ones you find on "The Sopranos;" the stakes are always high, and there's an incredible amount of action in each episode."

"An intensely suspenseful journey of survival gripping, scary, and well worth staying home on Fridays to watch TV's most provocative fantasy adventure "
--TV Guide "Roush Rave"
"Rapidly shaping up to be the most influential Science Fiction series since "Babylon"" 5" and the original "Star Trek.""
