    About this audiobook

    After the Cylon war, the Cylons retreated to parts unknown in deep space, and the twelve human colonies rebuilt that which was destroyed in the devastating war. The two sides honor their armistice agreement, and for twenty years nothing is heard from the Cylons. But sometimes no news is bad news.

    For the humans, the aftermath of the war has created a new, albeit illegal profession: scavenger. Tom Zarek is one of these scavengers, scouring the outer settlements for valuable Cylon technologies and artifacts, usually returning empty handed. But now, he and the crew of the cruiser Lightning have found the Omega Station, a scientific facility shrouded in secrecy beyond the edge of charted space.This is it, the big score, except something is wrong... The base is still occupied, not by humans, but by Cylons!

    The Battlestar Galactica receives the Lightning's distress call, getting the coordinates and a cryptic one-word message: "Cylons." A younger William Adama, just promoted to second in command, is worried. His crew is not prepared for dealing with more than the most routine of missions. And this mission is anything but routine, as they discover the base is full of Cylons, but also something much more disturbing...and deadly.

      The story was fairly sound, but the character development was really lacking. Garder created a nice, little backstory for Tom Zarek, but the story contributed little to Adama's and Tigh's characters. Good bedtime reading, full of fluff. Garder also need to learn how to write in the past tense without using the word "had".

      Craig Shaw Gardner’s Battlestar Galactica: The Cylon’s Secret takes place prior to the events of the 2003-2009 re-imagined series, beginning with the Cylons actions in the First Cylon War before moving forward twenty years where Captain Saul Tigh and Executive Officer William Adama aboard the Battlestar Galactica encounter scavengers picking over the war debris in space. Tom Zarek, one of the scavengers, leads his crew aboard the Lightning near the armistice line with the Cylons and encounters a research station with Cylon staff who did not rebel in the original war. The story is entertaining and this was a fun book to read back in 2006, though events of the later BSG seasons as well as Caprica and Blood & Chrome contradicted many of the details from this book.

      Recently picked this (2007 printed) book up in a charity shop for £1, and well worth the pound! The story-line takes place within the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica Universe, the story line is about a professional scavenger called Tom Varek, who comes across the Omega Station, full of cylons, but there is more to story than that, don’ want to spoil the story line for those people that will read it. I conclude that it is an excellent and enjoyable story-line, slots perfectly into the Battlestar Galactica world, read the book in 3 days (a few days off work due to government election period in the UK), could not put it down, kept reading chapter after chapter, really lost myself in the book, excellently written, keep all the main characteristics of the Battlestar Galactica universe, introduces new characters not seen on the TV series. Another book for my Battlestar Galactica collection. 5 out 5... Well worth reading for Battlestar Galactica, only problem no pictures in the book......
