5.0 out of 5 stars
It captures the wonder of the original television movie with no added filler,
By Charles Ashbacher (Marion, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Battlestar Galactica (Paperback)
I still remember the night when the original television movie "Battlestar Galactica" first appeared on television. As a science fiction buff, I was transfixed by the quality of the special effects and the Cyclons. The storyline and the action made for an excellent beginning. Unfortunately, the remainder of the series failed to live up to the start. With all the wide and empty slate of space to work with, the writers and producers found it difficult to get beyond simple human concepts.This book is the novelization of the original movie and compared to other books in the genre it is quite good. The authors manage to capture most of the wonder and drama of the movie and avoid the common mistake of adding inconsequential filler. I still enjoy (re)reading it nearly three decades after the movie first appeared.

This is a comic book version of the original movie of Battlestar Galactica. Not the newer Tv series.It is regular paperback size.It's a nice thing to have for the Battlestar Galactica fan.

Nothing you wouldn't expect.,

This review is from: Battlestar Galactica (Hardcover)
I picked this book up in the sale section of the local library, long before the new series premiered, or the old series was out on DVD. We're talking mid/late-90s, here.While I "enjoyed" the book, there was nothing to be enthralled with between the covers. It delivers the same general style of action as the show and movie, with a few shifts and contradictions to show for it. There was a hint of sexuality to it (how can there not be with Starbuck around?), but nothing beyond a mention-in-passing of a woman's figure, so even that wasn't a new thing. If you like the old series, you'll like this book. While I am fond of the old, I am much more a fan of the new, though I did grow up on reruns of the old BSG. But this is just another book about a TV show universe.
