WOW, this is an AWESOME book! If you ever wanted to know what

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.

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!

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

What happened?! The story was awesome! This book takes us from Mecha and Battloids and Veritechs to the deepest sectors of the Zentraedi Control Zone of the Amazon(book company? I don't think so. The other one, with trees and bugs.) Terrorist groups of Zentraedi, called Malcontents, have centered there and are carrying massive destruction and panic all over the globe. The Wolff Pack gets started in this one folks. Major Johnathon Wolff is assigned to Cavern City to defend it from Malcontent Terrorist Groups, street punks, and believe it or not, the Southern Cross which also has its start under these intense conditions. This book has everything; Mecha combat, terrorist, kidnapping, murder, political scandels, and a mind destroying virus.

For all those little fans of the past that are grown ups now, like me, this book is a must to answer a lot of questions that the TV series left unresolved about what really happened with various characters of the saga, here on earth, before the big jump to the other side of the galaxy.

The collective mind of Jack Mckinney has produced the most intricate and thorough Robotech story to date. The plot is compatible, yet surprisingly riveting. Each character is keenly developed, which is rare in many sci-fi novels. And each figure plays integral roles in the development of the story, and the overall saga of Robotech. Mckinney retains his readers attention by providing information of a very vague period in the Robotech timeline, known as the "Malcontent Uprisings". However, even if a reader is solely interested in the events that occur between Macross and the Sentinels, they will also be pleased with the subtle devices Mckinney uses to breathe life into his characters. Each figure from Macross is represnted well, showing the reader what a thorough writer Mckinney truly is. This book is a very fast read, and is recommended to all, fans and skeptics alike. With this book, the final bridge between Robotech episodes, Mckinney offers a very smart, enjoyable, and well thought out connection.

ive been a big fan of macross since the 80's ...i mean robotech here in the states. ive been looking for this series for ten years now. ive got 1 - 19 now with this books . i hope more read this story in book form the movies and anime series dont do it justice . a must get for collecters ive got two more books to find .....

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

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.
