Secrets Revealed!

WOW, this is an AWESOME book! If you ever wanted to know what happened after the last Macross Saga series episode (Episode 36: To the Stars), but before the first Sentinels series episode, this book will reveal ALL! Like: Lisa Hayes is now Admiral Hayes, Rick Hunter reluctantly accepts promotion to Vice Admiral, Rolf Emerson debuts in the Robotech story, Dr. Lang is introduced to Invid carcass firsthand, Rick and Lisa continue to fight, the Southern Grand Cannon (Alaska Base's Grand Cannon sister) was never completed, Power Hungry Politicians create the new UEG with plans to overthrow the RDF/REF, Miriya learns there was another Zentraedi Female who gave birth to a Human child, Dr. Lang pushes for a return mission to Macross Island in Plutospace, Scott Bernard's HERO Johnathan Wolf makes his Robotech debut, Lynn-Kyle RETURNS, Rick proposes to Lisa, Rook Bartley's parents become an intricate part of Johnathan Wolf's "Wolf Pack", Professor Zand gets a mind boost and becomes Super Smart just like Dr. Lang, The REF unveils their new creations-the Alpha Veritech-the Hovertank-the Gargantuan Ground Mobile Unit-and sexy new uniforms, Max crashes the Skull One Veritech, the Southern Cross becomes a POWERHOUSE, but the BEST SHOCKER of all was the ending on Chapter 4. It'll blow you away! Read the book and find out lots more great details in the Robotech storyline. I highly recommend this book to all Robotech fans. I hope they also release this book on DVD.

A great book...

2015: Peace on Earth is not very peaceful. The Southlands are being ruled by the xenophobic Field Marshal, Anatole Leonard, with his Army of the Southern Cross. Against him are the Zentraedi insurgents who remain loyal to the Robotech Masters. The rich and powerful are trying to bring back the UEG, while many of the common masses just want to get enough food to eat. Into this mixture comes Rick Hunter, Lisa Hayes, Max and Miriya Sterling, Breeti and Dr. Lang. The threat of the Robotech Masters and the Invid seems to be always in the background, as the many forces on Earth fight over the resources that are left.

Best book out of all others in the series

I have read every single robotech book, seen all the animie shows twice (english and japanese, note i had to learn japanese just to watch the Japanese versions. Hint this is good enough to learn japanese for) and I have all the videos, all the models, and i think i have the largest Robotech colleciton on Earth. Escept for the makers. Well, anyways, about the book. I love it! Just the way it makes you feel from the beggining to the end is enough to give it 5 stars. The way the Zentradi branch off into the Human-Loyal groups and the Self-loyal groups. The way It relates to Racisim, War, Aftermath, and love keep you turning the pages. The way the story turns the minute you think you know what will happen. All of this and more contribute to a 5 star book ,and the best that I've ever read (yes, better than all Harry Potters's in my opinion.) Robotech Rocks!

The finest novel in the Robotech Saga

Maybe it was because Jack McKinney could take liberties with this book that he couldn't with others. Possibly it is the perfect setting. Whatever the reason, the 19th installment from the Robotech novels is perhaps the finest. We are finally on an earth that we do recognize, fighting a local war, instead of light years away. the character development is superb. We finally find out where the Wolf-Pack comes from. We finally see Rick and Lisa's relationship develop. We are once again marveled by the Sterlings' marriage. The plot follows the "Lets-Save-The-World" line. A definitely good book
