(13TH: UK:£4.75 EUR:£5.5 USA:£6.5 PAC:£6.75 ) Copyright 1998; 82 pages - Three very different stories dealing with the Colonials' first contact with Earth. Richard Cosgrove's "First Impressions" has a routine patrol coming across the survivors of a crashed shuttle. Will they be friend or foe? With the Cylons lurking just behind the fleet, there may not be time to find out. "A Souvenir Of Earth" by Mary Wernke has Apollo and Starbuck passing through a spatial anomaly similar to the void to come to the rescue of a strange spaceship on an oddly-named mission. And in Jonathan S. Rudderham's "The Link", an ill Starbuck starts hearing a voice - that of a mysterious woman on Earth. As she faces subterfuge and murder back home, it is her contact with the Colonial warrior that may provide the key to salvation.
