Destiny

Summary: not a shoot 'em up
Review: When I saw that Baltar was on the cover I had to read this book. It's pretty good. Some of it is wonderful. Some of it could have been better. Baltar's place in this story made this BSG fan very pleased. Fans of laser beams and lots of exploding ships wont get hardly any of that in this one. Destiny is a book about people. Apollo, Starbuck, and the others are all portrayed as being very human. They always were but this book brings that forward and puts explosions and lasers largely on hold. Even the cylons are psychological in this one! You'll have to judge for yourself if that idea works or not. I thought it was a novel approach and enjoyed getting into Baltar's mind.
