From Apollo to Tom Zarek

By: Richard Hatch

Narrated by: Richard Hatch

Richard Hatch, known to millions of sci-fi fans as Captain Apollo and Tom Zarek, has recorded an audio book of his memoirs of both the original and re-imagined versions of Battlestar Galactica. His experiences on both versions of Battlestar Galactica are vividly recalled as he shares many indelible memories of the iconic actors he appeared alongside, and the challenges and barriers one of the most expensive shows in TV history faced at a time when networks were highly sceptical of Sci-fi in general.

Hatch passed away in 2017 and this audio book gives us his recollections and gave Richard Hatch the opportunity to reflect, on the two very different Battlestar series, and the life changing journey he had taken over 35 years ‘From Apollo to Tom Zarek’.

A great BSG memoir

If you are a Battlestar Galactica fan, this is a must listen. Richard Hatch gives an inside memoir of his journey from Apollo on the original series to Tom Zarek on the re-imagined series. He remembers his relationships with cast members & guest stars; the conventions & encounters with fans; his attempt to revive the show; his initial reaction to the new series, and a change of heart while being part of the cast.

While not overly long, it's great to hear Richard's voice. I always found him intelligent, well spoken and gracious to fans and interviewers. His love for the BSG world was evident . He is sorely missed.

A journey of the actor over 30 plus years

The true feeling of the journey of this author and the examination of the subject was excellent and it flowed well

Love you Apollo. RIP Richard Hatch. Thank you for your story, your journey, and your part in bringing Battlestar back.

Loved his personal insight story from one character to the other end of the spectrum. Great story.
