From the Publisher
The battlestar Galactica and the colonial fleet are in serious trouble. Their last encounter with the Cylons and the fierce alien race called the Chitain have left them crippled and exhausted and depleted of food and fuel. And they are still in Cylon space.
But Commander Apollo's next confrontation is with one of his own, as grizzled war veteran Commander Cain challenges him for leadership. Apollo wants to take the remnants of the fleet to a planet indicated on the mysterious holocube that was discovered on an abandoned Cylon outpost--a holocube that purportedly shows the path of expansion and exploration through the galaxy by the vanished Thirteenth Tribe. Cain prefers to make his stand right here, but is overruled by the late Commander Adama's son.
Apollo may win this fight, but he may not win the battle. For the next planet indicated on the holocube is also known to the Cylons, and they are waiting for the Galacticans in full force. It's only through the intervention of their newly installed quantum-shift technology that the fleet manages to escape the trap, as they are warped halfway across the galaxy to find themselves once again at their starting point: the planet Kobol--the birthplace of the Kobollian race that was destroyed by the Cylons twenty yahren ago.
Why have they been brought back to Kobol, and who is responsible for it? Have the Lords of Light granted them a new beginning? Or is this another plot by the Lord of Evil, Count Iblis, to finally exact his revenge against Adama's family and the entire Galactican fleet? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars
get the paperback,
By A Customer
This review is from: Resurrection (Battlestar Galactica) (Mass Market Paperback)
I gave this book one star when it came out in hardback. That edition was a major disappointment. Richard Hatch claimed that the publisher had printed a very early draft of the story by mistake. It sure looked that way to me. I hoped that the publisher would correct that mistake by using the completed draft in future printings. I have now read the paperback edition of Resurrection and they got it right. Resurrection is a marvelous novel that's on par with the first two books in the series. Skip the hardback, but order the paperback.

Mediocre writing kills the story,
This review is from: Resurrection (Battlestar Galactica) (Hardcover)
This is one difficult book to read, even for a huge Galactica fan such as myself. I found the first book (Armageddon) to be very well written and plotted, while the second (Warhawk) was well written but not as entertaining. But the writing this time around relies too much on exposition. It's tedious when each line or exchange of dialog is followed by one or more paragraphs of background or insight. It just happens too frequently in this book for my taste. I'll leave the actual story review to others who had less of a problem with the writing style.
