Product Description:
Spanning the life of the series—from the 1970s original, through the internet "webisodes," and up to the end of the current series' third season—this guide is the ultimate resource for Battlestar Galactica. Featuring an interview with producer Ron Moore and profiles of the seven principle cast members, it also includes a look at how Battlestar Galactica differs from the science fiction genre and seamlessly blends contemporary politics into its setting. Sure to satisfy even the most dedicated fans, a complete and comprehensive episode guide is also included, analyzing the mythology, religion, and politics of the Cylons and their apocalyptic world.

If you are a huge fan, I would not recommend this book.

Jo Storm's guide "Frak You" was a great way to pick up details I'd missed along the way and understand the depth of mythology and philosophy behind BSG. Her writing style is engaging and easy to follow even when she's talking about the history of deep concepts.
This book quickly picks up on and goes into depth on the very topics that drew me to BSG in the first place: ... Read More

I've been looking forward to a few things to get me past the long, long hiatus between the end of Season Three of BSG last March and its resumption this coming April. One of these is, obviously, the made for TV movie RAZOR. But the others include several new books on BSG. The Season Three official companion came out last month and was, as is typical of the books in that series, quite good. Then there was this book, an official companion. Then in December there will be two academic anthologies, BATTLESTAR ... Read More
