Glen A. Larson’s Battlestar Galactica only lasted for a single season, yet it earned its place among the most beloved science-fiction shows of all time. In 2003, Ronald D. Moore reimagined the story. This new take proved hugely popular, revitalizing the once-niche franchise. Moore’s Galactica successfully accomplished something few reboots of classic TV shows have ever managed to do: surpassing the original in scope and longevity. Like the Cylons, Galactica had evolved.

Somewhere Beyond the Heavens: Exploring Battlestar Galactica, edited by Rich Handley and Lou Tambone, examines the entire mythos, both televised and published, from 40 different perspectives, just in time for the show’s 40th anniversary. This anthology features insightful, analytical essays about Galactica‘s history, penned by popular comic historians, novelists, bloggers, subject-matter experts, and franchise insiders, including Samuel Agro, Jim Beard, Corinna Bechko, Joseph F. Berenato, Joe Bongiorno, Jeffrey Carver, October Crifasi, Steven Czarnecki, Julian Darius, Joseph Dilworth Jr., Matthew J. Elliott, Kelli Fitzpatrick, James Frenkel, Sabrina Fried, Caroline Glucksman, Robert Greenberger, Rich Handley, Amy Imhoff, Brandon Jerwa, Robert Jeschonek, Fiona Moore, John Kenneth Muir, Alex Newborn, Peter Noble, Alan J. Porter, Tony Simmons, Paul Simpson, Robert Smith?, Alan Stevens, and Lou Tambone.

Jim Beard pounds out adventure fiction with classic pulp style and flair.
A native Toledoan, he was introduced to comic books at an early age by his father, who passed on to him a love for the medium and the pulp characters who preceded it. After decades of reading, collecting and dissecting comics, Jim became a published writer when he sold a story to DC Comics in 2002. Since that time he's written official Spider-Man, X-Files, and Planet of the Apes prose fiction, Star Wars and Ghostbusters comic stories, and contributed articles and essays to several volumes of comic book history.
His prose work also includes GOTHAM CITY 14 MILES, a book of essays on the 1966 Batman TV series; SGT. JANUS, SPIRIT-BREAKER, a collection of pulp ghost stories featuring an Edwardian occult detective; MONSTER EARTH, a shared-world giant monster anthology; and CAPTAIN ACTION: RIDDLE OF THE GLOWING MEN, the first pulp prose novel based on the classic 1960s action figure.
Jim is also the co-publisher at Flinch Books, a small-press pulp house.

Matthew Bracher

An excellent anthology of exploratory essays of somewhere beyond the heavens!

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2019

I loved the original Battlestar Galactica. I was ten when it was broadcast, and play on the elementary school playground often centered on reenacting the show.

I got almost halfway through the reimagined series before the pressures of life intervened, and I hope at some point to begin again and watch it all the way theough.

For that reason I skipped most of this book's essays about the reimagined series. I've been spoiled plenty about how the series ended, and I don't want any more before spoilers before I've watched the rest of it.

But there's *plenty* in this book for me, a fan who only wants -- for right now -- to explore the original series.

My favorite essays cover the comic books and novels because they were kind enough to continue the saga and, in the case of the comic book, bring it to a satisfying conclusion. (I have to make an admission about the novels, but that'll come at the end of this review.) I've learned quite a lot about both the comics and novels, and I thought i already knew them pretty well.

And I recommend thia book highly. There's a fantastic diversity in the viewpoints and goals of the essays. If you're a fan of either show I'll bet a hand of Pyramid that you'll enjoy it.

All that said, here comes the admission: the two editors are friends of mine. That hasn't influenced this review at all, but it has to be said because you'll find my name mentioned twice in connection to the novels. If I weren't delighted with their work I simply wouldn't review it. Giving it high marks is because the book deserves to be widely read.
