Richard Hatch (1) (1945–2017)

Richard Hatch and Christopher Golden’s Battlestar Galactica: Warhawk picks up after the events of the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica television series with Apollo, Athena, and Starbuck looking for the legendary planet Earth along with the remnants of the Twelve Colonies. The book will primarily appeal to fans of the original series, which had an extensive shorthand in addition to the standard science-fiction elements found in the 2004 television series. The fact that the book ends with show more a five-page glossary shows how overburdened the original show was with unnecessary linguistic creations. The book will likely appeal to fans of that original series, particularly as it was co-written by one of the stars of the show (Hatch portrayed Apollo and later appeared in the reimagined series), but even tie-in media veteran Christopher Golden cannot save an unnecessarily complicated work. show less

This is an interesting collection of essays discussing primarily the Sci-Fi series Battlestar Galactica, although the original is also discussed as well. I found these essays to be entertaining and exploratory of concepts discussed in the show. These essays come from a viewpoint of seeing seasons 1 and 2, and they include spoilers.

Superb Battlestar Book, as everything a Battlestar Galactica fan could wish for, adventure, excitement, great book.
