Battlestar Galactica's tie-in novels adapt and expand the 1978-80 television series, opening with Glen A. Larson's novelization of the pilot and continuing through further episode adaptations and a photostory edition before moving into original sequel novels by a changing roster of media tie-in writers into the 2000s. Across the books, the fleet of humanity's Twelve Colonies flees Cylon extermination in search of the legendary thirteenth colony, Earth.
