Armageddon

First novel in Richard Hatch's continuation series, published 1997.

Twenty years after the fall of the colonies the fleet has long since left the Cylon's behind. Or have they? As Commander Adama's health fails Starbuck and Apollo encounter Cylon's on a recon patrol. Starbuck is shot down and seemingly killed.

Soon after Adama dies and Apollo is left in command of the fleet. But a cylon fleet is closing in and the evil of Count Iblis is rising once more. He also faces internal strife and a nagging certainty that Starbuck isn't dead...

This series led to a further six books (as of 2006), these storys continue the series and do not hold Galactica 1980 as canon.

Richard Hatch played Apollo in the first series and plays Tom Zarak in the remake.
