Battlestar Galactica Vault — Paul Ruditis

Ever since "Battlestar Galactica" first aired more than three decades ago, fans have wildly embraced its engrossing story of humanity's war with the alien Cylons. This fully licensed, comprehensive volume will feed their craving for inter-"Galactica" information with an in-depth and exclusive look all the shows in the "BSG" franchise: the original series and the reimagined 2004 version, plus "Galactica 1980," "Caprica," and "Blood & Chrome." It covers the series' creative development, characters, popular storylines, and favorite episodes, and discusses what the "BSG" franchise has meant to the sci-fi universe. More than 150 images go behind the scenes and bring key imagery to life, and an envelope inside the book contains removable treasures, such as an original series poster, Cylon concept art, annotated script, Caprica currency, and more. Plus, the gorgeous special extended case wrap hardcover features the complete "Battlestar"!
