For a person that enjoys anime/style stories, this one will top them all. The story line keeps the reader interested and doesn't drag on about one subject. I think that people will find out that the characters displayed in the book are more real than they think. For instance, most sci-fi books have the shoot'em up and get the girl type genre. But this book portrays the life story of Rick Hunter in the Zentraedi conflict. He works to help the citizens of Macross survive in combat and in deep space. Romance and comedy come into play and a whole bunch of other stories surface. The way that Jack McKinney plots the stories will keep you up for hours gripping this book for more. I give this book five stars for detail, action, romance, and story plot.

"Robotech : Battlehymn/Force of Arms/Doomsday" marks the beginning of the intricate Saga of Robotech, spanning several decades. The 3-in-1 book special features all the events which occured in the animated adventure "Robotech: The Macross Saga", and even some background concerning what happened before it began. In the year 1999, a phenomenal event occured ... a mysterious alien ship crashes in the South Pacific, in the midst of civil war across the globe. This event halts all hostilities between the peoples of earth, as they work together to delve into the secrets of Robotechnology, a level of technology which dwarfs anything the people of earth have ever crafted. This also answers an age old question, and now ignites concern, that humankind indeed is not alone in the Universe.

Follow the early adventures of the hotshot pilot Rick Hunter, the overnight superstar and sweetheart Lynn Minmei, and the crew of the SDF-1 as they seek to fight the mysterious aliens which have come to reclaim their lost ship.

The narration is intense, the detail is meticulous. Fans of the animated series will appreciate reading about their favorite characters in detail. Newcomers to the Robotech series will enjoy discovering this wonderful series. A must buy for any Science Fiction enthusiast, even those who merely look at the genre with an open mind.

This book contains the most pivotal point in the Robotech storyline within the Force of Arms section. It is an intense story of the greatest confrontation between humans and the invading aliens that will leave you glued in place until the very end. This book is a must have for any fan of sci-fi, mech-based stories, or anime.

This book is truly amazing. It is everthing you could want in a book. With awsome battle descriptions. I have read all of the robotech by Jack McKinny and this is truly the best of all.

These books are a rage.This portion sees one of the largest and most glorious battles I have ever read in a sci-fi novel, which pitches Zentraedi warriors against Invid Shocktroopers. You just can't beat Robotech for an endorphin-level-raising bodycount.

Robotech:4,5,& 6 tell of the continuing story between the RDF (Robotech Defence Force) and the evil Zedtraedi Armada. The love triangle between Rick, Lisa, and Lynn-Minmei also gets larger in this trilogy. The Zedtraedi Rebellion continues, with Konda, Rico, and Bron spearheading the movement.

These books are of the best I have ever read. Never have I loved a set of books as much as the Robotech series of novels. If anybody has ever seen the show, played the role playing game or is into post-apocalyptic rebirth of humanity and society, then these books are a must.

A good understanding of the military structure and operations is an accessory that one should have in order to fully comprehend the nature of many desicions made and some of the context behind the lines.

This set of books I will keep with me until the ends of time and cherish as they have helped not only to give me a better undestanding of the nature of storytelling, but of the military, humanity, and of politics

Kudos to the above review, but don't forget the character Lisa Hayes! She was one of the main reasons I bought this book, and I don't feel she gets enough credit.

On another note, this book is probably the best book that I have ever read. It is a great tale of adventure, action, and human emotion. Anyone who likes the series will love this book, as it expolores the characters in much greater detail. Even if you have never heard of Robotech I reccomend it, and even if you havn't ever picked up a science fiction book.

Pretty much word for word what was shown in the TV series, with just a little more background description and events to answer some old questions. Worth getting.

For romantic science fiction lovers, this cuts the cake. Not only is this the greatest action story ever written but it is the ultimate clash between the human race and any alien beings. I'd give this 10 thumbs up - if I had 10 thumbs!
