Rebellion is a book by Richard Hatch and Alan Rodgers.
While scouts venture forth in search of a habitable planet, the civilian population of the fleet rebels. Fights over the dwindling supplies break out among civilian factions, and the military is called upon to restore order, which only serves to heighten the tensions. And, once again, accusing fingers are pointed squarely at the man whose responsibility it is to assure the safety and well-being of all: Apollo. Even members of the Galactica's bridge crew turn against him.
Adding to the growing tensions is the fact that Troy, Dalton, Trays, and Boomer (the planetary search parties) are missing. But the real stunner is the revelation that Casseopia is pregnant, and that she has acknowledged Apollo as the father!
Apollo and Athena are relieved of their commands and thrown into the brig. Civilians take over and chaos reigns just in time for the Cylons to arrive. And soon after the Cylons, the even more deadly alien Chitain show up. Apollo must somehow regain command of the fleet, organize a fight against the Cylons and Chitain, find a way to resupply the fleet and devise an escape route from the pocket of null-space in which they are stuck, before it implodes and destroys everything and everyone caught in it.
After the battle of Kobol, the Fleet has made a hyperlight jump using the co-ordinates that both Apollo and Athena received by telepathic communication from an as yet unknown source. However, instead of finding a safe haven for the people, the Fleet becomes trapped in an Ur Cloud, a place where the engines will not function and power is slowly drained away. With the Fleet facing imminent danger, ships powering down, supplies low combined with the disappearance of their supply vessels, the Quorum stir up a rebellion against the military and try to stage a coup.
Some elements of the story are a little confusing and the physics of certain things is a little rusty but the highlight of this book (very much like the new series) is Baltar. The dialogue between Baltar and Apollo lays the ground for some rather disturbing plotlines yet to come about the Cylons. The ending of the book jumps ahead to the middle of the next novel Paradis as a taste of what's to come and the true nature of Cassiopia's baby is revealed.
