This one adapts two different episodes (Baltar&#039;s Escape and Experiment In Terra). It is a fairly standard retelling of each episode with little new material added (As dull as Goulart&#039;s Greetings From Earth adaptation is, at least there were some extra scenes thrown in). <br /> <br /> Try as he might, Ron Goulart simply cannot get a grasp on the Starbuck character. He has Starbuck talk in a way that makes him insufferable, not to mention completely out of character. Starbuck actually has a hatred for John and the other beings on the Ship of Lights! To top if off, Starbuck even meets yet another woman with psi-powers! (as he did in Greetings From Earth) As much as I love Experiment In Terra, this adaptation of the story is fairly dull. <br /> <br /> Finally, the cover of the book is misleading. It gives the impression that a laser battle occurs in the landing bay during the &quot;Baltar&#039;s Escape&quot; story, but that never actually happens. <br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> <br /> * The Cylons are reprogrammed and physically take the detonator from Baltar. <br /> <br /> * Tinia warns Adama that the Council gave him back command because they were scared, but that will soon wear off and they may try to take his power away again. <br /> <br /> * Brenda&#039;s last name is Farris. <br /> <br /> * Only two men try to take Starbuck (instead of a dozen or so) on Lunar Seven, and he stuns them. <br /> <br /> * Starbuck meets a redneck talking robot named Will/F (Willy) and a woman named Longsight Sue who has psi-powers. <br /> <br /> == Cover views ==<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:Bg09.jpg|Front cover.<br /> Image:Experiment in Terra back cover.jpg|Back cover.<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> {{Novelization List (TOS)}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:A to Z]]<br /> [[Category:Books]]<br /> [[Category:Novelizations]]<br /> [[Category:TOS]]<br /> {{TOS}}</div>
