Battlestar Galactica: Redemption (Battlestar Galactica)
After fleeing the planet Paradis and discovering that many of their ships were no longer capable of deep space travel, the Colonials were forced to hold a lottery to decide who in the fleet would live and who would have to stay behind and die. Apollo, Sheba, and Koran forfeit their secured place in the fleet to stay behind with 800 other Colonials who have been chosen by the people’s lottery to sacrifice their lives so that the vast majority of the fleet might have the best chance of surviving. They are surprised by the arrival of an ancient 13th Tribe space ark, which had been freed from its frozen grave deep within the bowels of Paradis by the catastrophic destruction of the planet. They discover that the huge craft is habitable and capable of sustaining all surviving colonials who were forced to stay behind.
Customer Review: It's a bit slight...
After "Paradis", "Destiny" and now "Redemption" read like combined and inflated scripts for Richard Hatch's proposed season for a new "Battlestar Galactica" sequel TV series. The problem is that they're too episodic, with too little resolution. They don't stand well as novels on their own. There's been little real plot advancement, just incidents, stuff happening, and all shortly after the post "Paradis" split of the fleet (it's telling that half the fleet doesn't actually get to its destination, while the other half stays where they were at the start of the book). With the demise of ibooks, I have to wonder if Richard Hatch will get to finish telling the meta story. It still feels undone. Buy It Now At Amazon!
