Warhawk: Battlestar Galactica

warhawk thrilled me and fed my craving for more battlestar. bringing back the classic characters is the way to go (i love them). thanks richard hatch.

Over the past few months I have begun watching the Battlestar Galactica televison program for the first time. I was never much of a science fiction fan and had limited access to televison while growing up. I didn't see the Battlestar Galactica televison series until my husband purchased the complete series on DVD. I became an instant fan after Saga of a Star World. I then began reading my husbands collection of Battlestar Galactica books by Richard Hatch. Both the books and the series have flaws (what doesn't?), but they also have wonderful characters, heart, imagination, and warmth. There's a special charm to Battlestar Galactica. Watching the episodes and reading the books has been five star experience for me.

Hatch and Golden have given Galactica fans a book they will truly appreciate. They've captured the best part of the TV series, continued the magic, and even improved upon it in some cases. Warhawk rocks!

I found this novel and the one before it to be very interesting. I read earlier on this page that someone did not like the usage of telepathy between Apollo and Athena. Personally, I found it to add considerably to my understanding of the plot. The only bones I have about this is this: Regarding the the Quorum, just how dumb can they get sometimes? Especially in accordance with Balter. I know everyone has their opinions, but if ya'll have seen the videos of Galactica, then you will remember how the Quorum once thought that they made a hasty retreat from the Cylons, AFTER the Cylons destroyed their colonies! But enough on some people's lack of common sense. This is a good novel to read, and it is a pleasant diversion from the usual plots of Star Trek and Star Wars.

There are some books you don't want to put down. This is one of those. Hatch and Golden have faithfully continued the Galactica Saga with a great piece of work. If you liked the series, you will love both Armageddon and Warhawk. For the many of us which sorely miss the series, these books give us a second chance to relive the exciting lives of the rag tag fleet.Cain returns along with all your favorite characters carefully and thoughtfully brought to life again, ever true to their original characters in the TV show.In a word, read-it (okay 2 words). You'll love it.
