After fleeing the planet Paradis and discovering that many of their ships were no longer capable of deep space travel, the Colonials were forced to hold a lottery to decide who in the fleet would live and who would have to stay behind and die. Apollo, Sheba, and Koran forfeit their secured place in the fleet to stay behind with 800 other Colonials who have been chosen by the people's lottery to sacrifice their lives. They are surprised by the arrival of an ancient 13th Tribe space ark, which had been freed from its frozen grave deep within the bowels of Paradis by the catastrophic destruction of the planet. They discover that the huge craft is habitable and capable of sustaining all surviving colonials who were forced to stay behind.

2.0 out of 5 stars
It's a bit slight...,
By Mike Luoma "glowinthedarkradio.com" (Burlington, Vermont) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Battlestar Galactica: Redemption (Hardcover)
After "Paradis", "Destiny" and now "Redemption" read like combined and inflated scripts for Richard Hatch's proposed season for a new "Battlestar Galactica" sequel TV series. The problem is that they're too episodic, with too little resolution. They don't stand well as novels on their own. There's been little real plot advancement, just incidents, stuff happening, and all shortly after the post "Paradis" split of the fleet (it's telling that half the fleet doesn't actually get to its destination, while the other half stays where they were at the start of the book). With the demise of ibooks, I have to wonder if Richard Hatch will get to finish telling the meta story. It still feels undone.

The 13th tribe is alive,

This review is from: Battlestar Galactica: Redemption (Hardcover)
I have to disagree with the other reviewers of this book... I found it hitting square on with the central theme of Glen Larson in its connection to the ancient mysteries of the bible, atlantis, toletecs, mayans etc... The premise of Battlestar Galactica was that our pre-history wonders from around the world, which even now we struggle to explain were part of the early settlement of the the colonies, the 13th tribe. Richard's book plays into this theme very neatly with the space story of Noah's ark. The let your mind wonder connection between the two is what made this story so enjoyable for me. Try to think of the tale of Noah's ark being a story of this ark and I do believe if one is not too critical this story does come alive. Read it for yourself and you'll see Richard is doing a fine job carrying on Mr. Larsons story line.

This review is from: Battlestar Galactica: Redemption (Hardcover)
this book is pretty useful as a paperweight. With all due respect to Richard Hatch, the book doesn't flow well. It seems choppy. There are places throughout the book where the story moves from one character to the next without any break in the text to notify the reader. I found myself reading sections several times trying to figure out what was going on. Maybe this is the fault of the publisher, or formatting the print, and not the author.
I leapt at the chance to own one of Hatch's novels. Prior to reading this book, I was looking for copies of his previous Battlestar Galactica books to add to my collection. Now I'm not so sure. The ending of this novel leaves the impression there will be more to come. Check your local library for future books, but leave your money in your wallet. (Unless you need a good paperweight...)
