of what happened to Rick Hunter and the SDF-3! The story opens six years after the end of the First Robotech War. Admirals Rick and Lisa Hunter must lead a crew of thousands to Tirol, to make peace with the Robotech Masters. Little do they know that they end up passing the Robotech Masters as they are on their way to EARTH! In the end, the Expeditionary Mission will be greeted by the Invid!
They are all back: Breetai, Exedore, Max and Miriya Sterling, a Jonathan Wolff who is not yet bitter and Dr. Lang. You even a peek at a young Bowie Grant and a young Dana Sterling.

These are very like The Works of E. E. "Doc" Smith and his Lensmen.
One step above a comic book in the space opera serial tradition of
Buck Rogers these novels have romance and adventure with
plenty of very bloody battles. Battlestar Gallactica in the series
for TV is very much like this with somewhat less imaginative aliens.
It seems to understand a lot of the "details' you have to have read
some of the previous serials.
This sort of novel is almost pure escapist literature
that is read by teenage boys instead of doing their home work.
I actually kind of liked it,
but it isn't The City and the Stars and the Sands of Mars!

Very good story line! VERY well written. If you're a Robotech fan buy and read this!!
