If you like the original Battlestar Galactica show this is the book for you. Its like a continuation of the series.

I struggled with this.
I read this as a standalone and quickly discovered it is part of a serialised set of books. As a result, there are plenty of plotlines lingering from the previous books and more are left for future books.
The 'Resurrection' of the title relates to one of the main characters and for me it just didn't work at all. I also didn't enjoy the 'soap style' elements that took up much of the first half of the book.
There was also plenty of spelling errors and issues with the wrong character being quoted (something that should have been picked up prior to printing).

Most of the main characters walk through their individual stories with no connection. The heart that made me love the series is missing from these books.

Oh please! You don't have a guilty pleasure?

I tried..I really tried to like this book. It's poorly written.Not much else to say.

While it was definitely the weakest of the three Hatch books I've read....I liked it. The villain sucks but the crew of the Galactica are a lot of fun. A light popcorn book and a guilty pleasure.
