Richard Hatch understands these characters and what makes them tick. He also knows how to update Battlestar Galactica and give the old myth new life. He adds new characters, new technology, new ideas, while maintaining the soul of the original. It's not easy to do this sort of thing. Hatch pulls it off very well. He introduces new ideas and explores old concepts from the series too. He brings back favorite characters but explores them more deeply. Hatch bridges the gap between yesterday and today. New elements are mixed well with classic elements so that Battlestar is new but faithful to the orignal. It's a damned impressive feat. All sequel makers should learn from Hatch. The editing needs improvement (nobody like to pay for typos)but Hatch has a gift for understanding characters and sharing those insights with the readers. Paradis is more introspective than some episodes of the show but there's so much heart and insight that I will gladly read more BSG novels by Mr Hatch.

this is a better more compact book than rebellion i just about gave up on this series after reading the tripe in the previous novel as a bsg fan this is more closer to what i expect however once again we have misspelled words and paragraphs that meander abit if i have to read he cried one more time in any book well at least my door now has a paper weight i feel sorry for those who paid $23.95 for rebellion us dollars as well i at least got it used thank the lords of kobol this is a better effort and as an adult reading this i dont feel like im five again please get better editors or at least someone who is literate!!!!!! there is alot of potential in this series and with this book i hope it starts to head in the right direction a quick read as well rebellion i had to grind my teeth a day of my life wasted which i will never get back a better effort hope the rest of the novels improve as well.

I enjoyed the book alot shame more have not been release do to the choice of Gel Larson I've heard. Hope they work it out and continue this fun to read series.

if you are a bg fan it's a must, no complaints at all, i miss the original series

I'd give this an even higher rating (I liked it that much) but there are errors due to the lack of a decent editor. Small publishing houses often seem to have this problem and that's too bad. I loved this book all the same. Haven't read Hatch's others but this made me want to. Loved the story and characters.

The story's not bad if you can get past the mis-spelled words, dialogue of people who aren't even in the scenes, very little transitions and terrible use of pronouns. Richard needs to get a better editor.
