If you love the characters and the saga of the 1970's television series Battlestar Galactica, then here is your chance to re-visit this universe. Richard Hatch has resurrected this forgotten story of the fight of the human race in search for the lost tribe and a planet called Earth.
Resurrection is the third book in the series and a must for true fans.
All the major characters are there, even the ones that had been killed off make an appearance. A new addition is Starbuck and Cassie's daughter Dalton, who is very much like her father.
It is a fun and exciting - okay there is some creative licensing taken with the writing that differs from the show, but anyone who has read the original novels from the series by creator Glen A. Larsen, will know that they too weren't totally in line with the series.
I enjoyed this book, my only criticism is that there isn't enought Apollo and Starbuck together and that Starbuck should have been allowed to mature.
Richard loves this Universe and these characters and that's what really makes this book work for me

get the paperback
14 Jun 2004
Format: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
7 July 2001
Format: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.

Back to Galactica 1980 Quality
19 Aug 2001
Format:Hardcover
After having read, re-read and thoroughly enjoying the previous two books, I found myself checking the Amazon website regularly for indications the third book was imminent... I was so anxious to have ordered it in advance... but, what a complete letdown. From both a characterization and story continuity perspective, Ressuerection was a very significant divestiture from Arm and Hawk. What in the galaxy happened to Dalton? I found myself hating this character in Book III... what a ridiculous redirection of her character wrt the Troy relationship. Apollo and Cassie... give me a break... what would have been appropriate was an exploration and degree of closure around the complex relationship with Sheba and Apollo after the twist in Hawk... weren't they to be sealed in Arm??? Just like it never happened. On top of all this, I had a hard time determining whether Starbuck was dead, alive, dying or being resurrected most of the time. Clearly the attention and focus and care taken with the first two books was absent. Overall, the characterization was poor - news flash to the authors... Apollo is a great character, but not the only one capable of sustained growth. What happened to the smart, intelligent Athena and Sheba, Tigh and Cain? Why is Cain made to appear as one small step away from insignficance when not being painted like a robotic, unbalanced, self serving despot? Cain was always enjoyable as the military " larger than life" warrior character... but also ( as in LL I + II ) for the deep affection he had for Sheba and Cassie... none of this in Ressurection. Killing Cain at the end was meaningless and almost like an afterthought ... but given the bungling of the character, perhaps a mercy. Equally damaging to the book was the complete and total misdirection and unlikely representation of Baltar. If this is an indication of Richard Hatch's views on BSG, I certainly hope he will have nothing to do with any resurection of the TV series in either movie or tv venues. This book had tremendous potential after the splendid Arm and Hawk, but threw it all away... barely worth checking out of a one book library. If there is to be a fourth book, Richard needs a lot more help then he accepted on this one.
