== Overview ==
== Notes ==
 
This one adapts two different episodes ("[[Baltar's Escape]]" and "[[Experiment in Terra]]"). It is a fairly standard retelling of each episode.
 
Starbuck actually has a hatred for John and the other beings on the Ship of Lights and even meets yet another woman with psi-powers. (as he does in "[[Greetings from Earth]]").
 
The cover of the book is misleading. It gives the impression that a laser battle occurs in the landing bay during the "Baltar's Escape" story, but that never actually happens.
