Battlestar Galactica (Book 1)

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Adapted from the three-part teleplay 'Saga Of A Star World' written by Glen A Larson. A thousand years ago, the war with the Cylons began abruptly—without warning, without even a formal declaration that war was to be. Like pirates, showing no threats and cowering beneath false colours, the Cylons opened fire on merchant ships without even an invocation to heave to, or a cautionary blast from a laser cannon. They came to destroy, and they destroyed ships by the thousand. A fleet of their warships, base stars as they were called, headed for the twelve worlds of man. Arrogant beings that they were, the Cylons did not anticipate that man would be ready for them... The Greatest Space Epic ever from ABC-TV and Universal. At the end of a bloody thousand-year war against an invincible enemy, an uneasy peace has finally been achieved between humans and the dreaded cyborg warriors of the Cylon Empire. But peace soon turns to bloodshed when the Cylons launch an unexpected attack against humanity's twelve Colonial worlds, wiping out most of the inhabitants. AKA "Battlestar Galactica #1: Saga of a Star World."Novelisation of the pilot film for the classic Battlestar Galactica series.
