Overview[edit]
A novelization of the Re-imagined "Battlestar Galactica" Miniseries was published by Tor Books on December 27, 2005. Content and page numbers are from the trade paperback edition (ISBN=0765315416 ), First Edition: January 2006.
The book, written by science fiction author Jeffrey A. Carver, includes a few background elements not shown in the aired Miniseries, and incorporates some deleted scenes.
Summary[edit]
The novelization follows very closely the Miniseries, and the article's summary is valid for this article.
Notes[edit]
Interesting additions to the novelization include:
- Colonel Wakefield: The name given to the first human, the Armistice Officer, that viewers see in the Miniseries (pg. 16). He meets a unexpected arrival of a Cylon "diplomatic group"--and his death--on the Armistice Station. This also suggests that his son, Boxey, shares his father's last name.
- Triad: The name given to the card game Full Colors (pg. 33).
- The motive for the controversial murder of the infant by a Cylon who will be later be know as Number Six (and during the series as Caprica-Six) is explicitly explained as to spare the infant any suffering in the upcoming attack (pg. 45).
- Natasi: The name given to this copy of Number Six (later, Caprica-Six) (pg. 47).
- The light emitted by the illuminated spine of an aroused Cylon is explained as being mostly infrared, with a small amount of gamma radiation, and nearly invisible to the human eye (pg. 50)
Error(s) in the novelizations include:
- Commander William Adama's callsign is stenciled on his old Viper Mark II as "HUSHER" (pg. 30).
