Summaries

From the publisher:

...can best be summed up in two words: Baltar's back. We think you can figure it out from there. Teach your children well, and watch out for those flabby laurels, Starbuck!

From a distributor, Agent With Style:

After ten yahrens in space and a change of command, the Galactica has found the way to Earth, in an ancient derelict ship. But Baltar has caught up with the Fleet, and takes a hostage Apollo may not be able to resist. Athena fears for her own sons; Bojay's ghost hangs between Sheba and Apollo; Cassie and Starbuck wonder if they'll ever have time for a life; and Commander Tigh feels Adama's spirit waiting behind him. In this enthralling novella by Sharon Monroe and Gordon Smuder, while young warriors prepare for baptism by fire, veterans wearily regroup, returning to a battle they had fervently hoped they had left behind.
