Overview[edit]
Robber is now a gorgeous black-haired woman instead of a man. What is strange is that Starbuck drops his anger at Robber for stealing his ship pretty quickly. He believes her to be in danger even though he never is given a good reason, and so he goes off to rescue her. There is a rather large plot hole in the fact that C.O.R.A. just happens to force Robber to land on a planet in the exact area where she has enemies. A couple of other new characters are introduced.
Kamikaze Cylon raiders attack the Galactica at the end and people are trapped inside a lounge. Three Cylon fighters ram Galactica, but the damage they do is pretty minimal compared to what happened in the episode when only one Cylon raider rams the ship in "Fire In Space".
We are given more space battles with the Cylons in the book than we did in the actual episode.
There is a mistake on the cover art, as Starbuck is in a Colonial uniform and Apollo is wearing a disguise. Of course, it should be vice-versa.
Summary[edit]
- When Athena walks in on Starbuck, she sees a second glass on the table. Starbuck tells her he took out a second glass because he had a feeling that someone would soon be joining him.
- In the midst of switching rooms, Starbuck trips on the carpet while looking around to see if Cassiopeia is coming.
- When Adama says to keep tracking Starbuck because he may be on to something, Athena says to herself, "Probably a blonde."
- Croad lands his fighter next to the shuttle. Starbuck drops a crate on Croad's foot and then knocks him out and steals his fighter. He tracks down C.O.R.A., and the viper is empty. C.O.R.A forced Robber to land on a planet in the middle of territory where she has enemies. Starbuck goes after her and falls into a large pit. A woman named Candy approaches and pulls a gun on him. Then a man with a metal arm named Scrapper zaps her, knocking her into the pit with Starbuck. He helps Starbuck out and agrees to help him find Robber. They soon rescue Robber from a gang of thugs and then head back. Apollo and Boomer land and learn from C.O.R.A. what is going on. They head off to look for Starbuck. Not long after, Starbuck returns alone to scout the place out and Croad arrests him and takes him to Proteus.
- Galactica does not alter its course.
- The Imperious Leader, not Baltar, launches three Cylon Raiders to investigate the signal.
- In the battle above Proteus, none of the Cylon Raiders crash into the ambrosia, although Starbuck does black out.
- Two dozen people stay behind on Proteus.
- The Imperious Leader launches three more Cylon Raiders who attack the Vipers and the shuttle on their way back to Galactica. The Cylons are easily destroyed, although Starbuck pushes his luck and almost rams into one.
- Athena and Cassiopeia declare a truce and hang out with each other, wondering who Starbuck has hooked up with.
- Robber changes her name to Roberta.
- Starbuck, Roberta, and the other people from Croad go to Galactica's rec lounge when fifty Cylon raiders attack.
- Three Cylons Raiders ram Galactica. The rec lounge loses air. Roberta passes out, but she managed to help several people and is declared a hero.
- Starbuck takes Roberta out to the Rising Star and meets the same waiter again. Athena and Cassiopeia are in a booth next to where their reserved table is, so Starbuck has the waiter take them to another area.
