Overview
This one adapts two different episodes ("Baltar's Escape" and "Experiment in Terra"). It is a fairly standard retelling of each episode.
Starbuck actually has a hatred for John and the other beings on the Ship of Lights and even meets yet another woman with psi-powers. (as he does in "Greetings from Earth").
The cover of the book is misleading. It gives the impression that a laser battle occurs in the landing bay during the "Baltar's Escape" story, but that never actually happens.
Summary
- The Cylons are reprogrammed and physically take the detonator from Baltar.
- Tinia warns Adama that the Council gave him back command because they were scared, but that will soon wear off and they may try to take his power away again.
- Brenda's last name is Farris.
- Only two men try to take Starbuck (instead of a dozen or so) on Lunar Seven, and he stuns them.
- Starbuck meets a redneck talking robot named Will/F (Willy) and a woman named Longsight Sue who has psi-powers.
