Book One: Apotheosis was an introduction to the world, familiarizing the reader with the gods and life on Kobol, while also telling the story of the Thirteenth Tribe. Now, in Book Two: Descent, we flash back thousands of years to see where the Olympians originated and how they came to have dominion over mankind. We also find out about the Draco and what, exactly, Prometheus did to become so hated. And we also set the stage for Book Three: The Final Exodus.
A few of my favorite bits: the Great Flood, Hera & the fork, Zeus' discovery of Prometheus' deeds, the chapter titled "The Olympians" and meeting Stephen Acastus.

The follow up to the first book kept up a cracking pace, very insightful and filled in so many gaps, I've recently Beemer re-watching BSG and a lot more makes sense now. I promised myself I would savour this one but I couldn't put it down until it was finished. Hopefully ( no pressure ) there will be more, I've really enjoyed reading both of them as there hasn't been much written novel wise in the BSG universe. I would be happy to see them published and pay for the pleasure of reading these.
