Battlestar Galactica was a 1978 TV show from prolific tv exec (and occasional plagiarist) Glen A Larson. It follows the survivors of the Cylon attacks on 12 human colonies as they travel into space in search of a new home called 'Earth'. The cast of heroes includes Commander Adama, his children Apollo and Athena, pilots like Starbuck and Boomer, and the former newswoman Serina. The TV show did not run for very long but the series of novels released to promote it reached 14 books. Most were written by Robert Thurston or Ron Goulart.
