Synopsis
n 1978, Battlestar Galactica appeared: an epic sci-fi television series starring Lorne Greene, of Bonanza fame, and a cast of young actors. Though inspired by the success of Star Trek and Star Wars, the show lasted just one season. But it was fondly remembered by many who watched it, and now has been resurrected in spectacular fashion by Ronald Moore, a long time writer and director of Star Trek episodes. With sharply written, literate scripts and a cast of fine actors, the reborn Battlestar Galactica has been a huge success, first as a miniseries, and now as a continuing series on the SCI-FI channel. This audiobook is based on the exciting, suspenseful miniseries. Humanity created the robotic cylons to help itself, but the cylons turned on their makers and fought a terrible war until the armistice. Forty years later, the cylons are+different. Now they look and act human...and some of them even think they are human. When the cylons attack the twelve human worlds, only a single ship survives the onslaught to protect refugees from those worlds: the oldest ship in the fleet, Battlestar Galactica. Led by Commander Adama and President Laura Roslin, and pilots like the fiercely independent Starbuck and Lee Adama, they fight for the survival of humanity in a riveting interstellar adventure.
