Alas, the hang-up would appear to be Universal which came up with strict standards just to let Hatch publish his novels that it would be even more difficult to get the rights to do so today, and even then they would probably not loosen the floodgages to let different authors write their own interpretations of the future.

Thats the real pity of it all.
So much could've been put into novel format for BG to further its fictional universe akin to both Star Trek and Star Wars and every other sci-fi property that continues its stories far beyond a TV series or big budget theatrical movie. I also think its a huge pity, that the several unfilmed Battlestar Galactica scripts weren't made into novels following on from the published Berkerly BSG books.
We're missing out aren't we?
