HAPPY 35th BIRTHDAY, 'BATTLESTAR GALACTICA'!

Celebrating the 35th Anniversary, I'm presenting the third and final Classic Battlestar Galactica adventure that I wrote waaayyy back in the late late-nineties. It was originally published in the much-missed UK BG fan club magazine: The Thirteenth Tribe, and, I believe, it proved quite popular.

Only this original draft remains, so sorry for the spelling mistakes and grammar of the time, but I think the tale, titled Message in a Bottle, is a worthy tribute and celebration of the classic series and its characters. It's humbly dedicated to Glen A. Larson and all the cast and crew who worked on the original series and helped to make it such an enduring, worldwide success...

I and other members of that shiny planet known as Earth raise a chalice of vintage ambrosia to you!

SAGA OF A STAR WORLD - ORIGINAL FICTION 2: 'BETTER THE DEVIL'

John Colico's galactic spanning, Judas-like figure of Baltar makes an impression, along with his robot servant Lucifer, on the cover of the classic BG Eve of Destruction prelude from Realm Press.

And speaking of Baltar, check out his starring role, sparring against an old adversary, in the second of three original fiction stories penned by this Blog creator from the mid-nineties, celebrating the series 35th Anniversary this year, and set after the events of The Hand of God. Titled Better the Devil, check it out here:

'SAGA' ORIGINAL FICTION: STARRING COMMANDER CAIN IN 'THE SEARCH'

Commander Cain shares battle tactics with Commander Adama and his team, in plans to seize some Cylon tankers, during an important moment from The Living Legend part one.

Back in the nineties, I wrote some fan fiction on my old word processor and created a story for the legendary Cain set after the events of Hand of God. Part of a trilogy of tales which was kindly published at the time by the then British GALACTICA fan magazine/club, The Thirteenth Tribe, The Search only exists now on paper, but I've scanned it and posted it here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B80ITjM31EVRa3JtQmdzRTYyeEU/edit?usp=sharing

It's basic-looking and there's some grammer and spelling mistakes along the way, but I hope you'll find, above all else, that it captures the spirit of the character and the original series.
