After years of silence, the Cylons have returned, and their first strike at the fleet has cost the life of Galactica's favourite son, Apollo. As the grieving Galacticans struggle with their loss, and Starbuck contemplates reckless revenge, Adama must find focus and contemplate the odds: the Cylon threat is stronger and more insidious than ever before. Unless the fleet can defeat or outrun the Cylons, humanity will soon be as dead as his beloved son. Shocking drama and continuity-shaking military SF action from the acclaimed cosmic creative team of Abnett and Dietrich Smith.[1]

Plot

  • Captain Starbuck reports to Commander Adama's quarters following his incident with Sephoni in Galactica's brig the day prior. Adama notes that he won't hold Starbuck's actions against him, provided they do not recur.
  • Starbuck appreciates the gesture, and begins his pitch to Adama to mount a rescue for Major Apollo. Adama cuts him off, noting that he has all the evidence he needs to confirm Apollo's death.
