Decades before their obliteration, the people of the Twelve Colonies watched as their robotic servants literally walked away from homes, factories, and entire worlds. Naturally, this didn't go over very well and events took a downward spiral. Humanity ended up fighting a massive war against their own creations: the Cylons. The rebellious machines vanished almost entirely not long after a fragile peace was created, but the colonists fear they aren't gone for good. With good reason. In Battlestar Galactica: The Cylons’ Secret, Craig Shaw Gardner explores what became of the Cylons long before the events of the TV series. Weaving together the stories of a young colonel (Bill Adama), an ambitious scavenger (Tom Zarek) and a recovering alcoholic (Saul Tigh), Gardner describes a turning point in relations between humanity and their treacherous creations.
