Product Description

Having escaped from the dead area of non-space called the Ur Cloud (in BG: Rebellion), the ragtag fleet of Colonials find themselves delivered to what has all the appearances of being the perfect new home for the fleet: the planet Paradis. Commander Apollo is once again drawn into conflict with ego-driven civilians who manipulate the Council of Twelve toward their own ends. But he also must deal with his feelings toward Cassiopeia and their newborn son-although Apollo is unsure whether he is the child's father. As tensions mount among the Colonials, a treacherous plan is hatched that threatens to destroy everything the commander has worked so hard for-as well as Apollo himself¨.

five stars for the characters and story
Richard Hatch understands these characters and what makes them tick. He also knows how to update Battlestar Galactica and give the old myth new life. He adds new characters, new technology, new ideas, while maintaining the soul of the original. It's not easy to do this sort of thing. Hatch pulls it off very well. He introduces new ideas and explores old concepts from the series too. He brings back favorite characters but explores them more deeply. Hatch bridges the gap between yesterday and today. New elements are mixed well with classic elements so that Battlestar is new but faithful to the orignal. It's a damned impressive feat. All sequel makers should learn from Hatch. The editing needs improvement (nobody like to pay for typos)but Hatch has a gift for understanding characters and sharing those insights with the readers. Paradis is more introspective than some episodes of the show but there's so much heart and insight that I will gladly read more BSG novels by Mr Hatch.

shake your money maker richard better than rebellion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is a better more compact book than rebellion i just about gave up on this series after reading the tripe in the previous novel as a bsg fan this is more closer to what i expect however once again we have misspelled words and paragraphs that meander abit if i have to read he cried one more time in any book well at least my door now has a paper weight i feel sorry for those who paid $23.95 for rebellion us dollars as well i at least got it used thank the lords of kobol this is a better effort and as an adult reading this i dont feel like im five again please get better editors or at least someone who is literate!!!!!! there is alot of potential in this series and with this book i hope it starts to head in the right direction a quick read as well rebellion i had to grind my teeth a day of my life wasted which i will never get back a better effort hope the rest of the novels improve as well.
