===Original series books===
These ''Battlestar Galactica'' softcover novelisations were written by [[Glen A. Larson]] with the authors listed below.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/EAD/htmldocs/RMM08001.html|title=Guide to the TV Tie-in Book Collection, 1945–1999|access-date=June 15, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100619234851/http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/ead/htmldocs/RMM08001.html|archive-date=June 19, 2010|url-status=live}}</ref> They were critically disparaged, but proved popular, with the first novel selling over a million copies within its first year.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=K9P1T0doSpkC&dq=%22doc+savage%22+%22million+copies%22&pg=PA2 Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Review] Feb. 1979 issue</ref> The first ten novels adapt the episode of the same title except as indicated. All novels except ''Battlestar Galactica 14: Surrender the Galactica!'' (ACE publishing) were originally published by Berkley, and have been republished, recently, by I Books, which called them ''Battlestar Galactica Classic'' to differentiate it from the reimagined series. The episodic novels featured expanded scenes, excerpts from "The Adama Journals", more background on the characters, and the expansion of the ragtag fleet to almost 22,000 ships as opposed to the 220 in the TV series.

A new book series written by series star [[Richard Hatch (actor)|Richard Hatch]] starting in the 1990s continued the original story based on his attempt to revive the series, and ignored the events of ''[[Galactica 1980]]''. His series picked up several years after the TV series ended, and featured Apollo in command of the ''Galactica'' after the death of Adama, a grown-up Boxey, who was now a Viper pilot, and the rediscovery of Commander Cain and the battlestar ''Pegasus'', who had started a new colony and was preparing to restart the war with the Cylons.
