The Cylons' Secret: Battlestar Galactica 2 by Craig Shaw Gardner (published by Tor Books), is a new original novel based the Battlestar Galactica Re-imagined Series.
Book Description from Amazon.com:
- Sometimes no news is bad news.
- It’s been twenty years since the end of the Cylon war. The twelve human colony worlds are rebuilding, and the Cylons . . . the Cylons have been just too quiet. They are nowhere to be found. The robotic race that tried to obliterate their creators has gone to parts unknown in deep space.
- The aftermath of the war has created a new, illegal profession: scavenger. Tom Zarek is one, scouring the outer settlements for valuable Cylon technologies and artifacts and usually returning empty-handed. But now, he and the crew of the Cruiser Lightning have found the Omega Station, a scientific station shrouded in secrecy beyond the edge of charted space. This is it, the big score, except something is wrong…the base is still occupied, not by humans alone; by Cylons too!
- The Battlestar Galactica, one of the oldest warships in the fleet, receives the Lightning's distress call, a cryptic one-word message: "Cylons." William Adama, newly promoted to second-in-command, is worried. Most of his crew are green, new recruits, not prepared for anything but the most routine missions. And, as Adama soon discovers, this mission is anything but routine. Omega is indeed full of Cylons, but also something much more disturbing . . .
Book Notes
New Locations
- Research Station Omega – a Picon Colony Science Station, it was an attempt to study the interactions of human settlers and modified, semi-sentient Cylons (courtesy of independent neural pathways) about five years before the Cylon War. It was later forgotten and abandoned by Picon following the outbreak of war with the Cylons. The free cruiser Lightning and Galactica come across Omega 25 years after the war. Only one of the original researchers and three adult survivors (children when the station was abandoned) remain, along with 97 Cylon 'Companions'. Following an encounter with the dreadnought Invincible, the station is abandoned by the companions for parts unknown and the human survivors returned to the Colonies.
New Ships
- B-class freighter – an old model ship, it was used to haul cargo from the Colonies to new settlements many years ago.
- “Recovery Ship” – this is a polite name for a scavenger ship, which is sometimes armed with outdated Viper Mark Ones
- free cruiser Lightning - this recovery ship attempts to scavenge Research Station Omega, but over a third of its crew is captured or killed by the occupants. Afterwards the ship returns with other recovery ships in order to destroy the station, but is presumably wiped out in conflict with the dreadnought Invincible.
