Review
"* "This is a beautifully written show, driven by character rather than effects... but the effects are damn good. And there's not a better acting troupe at work on television." - --Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly"

Customer Reviews

Great companion book for a great series
This guide covers the first two seasons of the new Battlestar Galactica TV series with quite interesting insights from the authors, actors and members of the production team. It is quite in-depth and is like the TV show itself one of the best in recent TV history. The author was given much access to the creative process of the show which really pays off when reading this entertaining guide.

It should be mentioned that this book more or less completely combines two former books of David Bassom: Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion and Battlestar Galactica: Season 2: The Official Companion (Battlestar Galactica the Official Companion), however in gorgeous full-color reproduction (which alone might justify a purchase, even if you have the first two books) and differently structured. The offered information, interviews etc. is the same. The product information is in my opinion not quite clear on this; I actually thought this might be an additional reference book with new information to the first two companions when ordering this. But as an avid fan I am not that disappointed given the great presentation offered for good price.

Fully commendable for everone who has seen the series!

Cracking tie in.
If you've been a fan of the series and currently mourning its loss, you can get your fix by picking up this enjoyable book that explores the world of Adama, Starbuck and the crew in their embattled universe as they seek to find a new home. Not only is this stuffed full of concept artwork for the battleships along with information about the filming of the series but it also deals with the details of the individual series and how it went from part mini series to the full blown epic it was to become. A great offering with plenty of graphic and photographic illustrations to keep even the most ardent fan glued for hours. A great offering from Titan.
