== Overview ==
 
The novel adds several new scenes and even a few new characters to the story.
 
== Summary ==
 
* There is a subplot involving Jolly hooking up with a woman named Zixi.
 
* The class that Athena conducts is called Applied Science.
 
* Boxey says in class that Dr. Wilker might make a mistake and cause the people to die. Athena later admonishes Apollo for talking negatively about Wilker in front of Boxey.
 
* Adama explains to Boxey in his quarters why Starbuck and Apollo took the shuttle away.
 
* Apollo sends a communication to ''Galactica'' soon after arriving on Paradeen.
 
* Sarah sets out at night down the road (to saboutage the ships). Hector confronts her, but she insists on continuing.
 
* Councilman Geller meets with Adama about the ships on Paradeen. They both become concerned when they can no longer communicate with them.
 
* The next morning, Apollo does some exploring in the woods. He is approached by a gaunt old man named Kertiz the Hermit who has low-level telekinetic powers. Kertiz tells Apollo that leaving the planet won't be as easy as he thinks, and then walks off.
 
* Apollo is headed towards the vipers to check them out when a man named Sut Meadows tells him they've been smashed. The shuttle is also badly damaged.
 
* Hector's hovercraft is able to fly high in the air. At the city, Starbuck threatens to jump out if Hector won't lower the ship to the ground.
 
* Apollo confronts the Morelands on their property, but they deny they had anything to do with wrecking the ships.
 
* In the city, Starbuck is captured by a gang. He tells them he can get them guns. One of the women, a red-head named Queenie, takes him to find the weaponry. She tells him she saw a blonde woman wrecking the ships, and Starbuck realizes it must be Sarah. Queenie has psi-powers and knows that Starbuck was lying about the guns, but she wants to help him. They both go to a library looking for records. A rival gang appears called the Commandoes. They are about to be killed when Apollo arrives.
 
* Kurtiz the Hermit saves one of the children, Cindy, from an Enforcer.
 
* Starbuck and Apollo disguise themselves as Enforcers when they capture Leiter and his men.
 
* Sarah apologizes to Apollo for wrecking the ships.
 
* Queenie joins the Fleet
