The Final Gap in the Robotech series REVEALED!

Wow, Great Story. I always wanted to know what happened to the Southern Cross Warriors and of course the gap between Southern Cross and New Generation. Here's the deal: The Lost Generation Returns, as does Legendary Veritech Pilot Terry Weston, as does The Robotech Factory Satellite, as do the Zentraedi. Louie Nichols joins the Shimada Family, Johnathan Wolff and his ship return from Tirol, Dana Sterling & Johnathan Wolff have SEX. Behold the Debut of Lancer. Dana Sterling, with her companions the Southern Cross Warriors (Minus Louie) -Marie Crystal- and the Robotech Masters' Clones, HIJACK Wolff's ship and head for Tirol. A few months later the Invid finally arrive at Earth and immediately attack! No hi, no hello, no we've come for this reason, NOTHING! Just immediate attack and conquer. They kill the Zentraedi, destroy the Robotech Factory Satellite and Space Station Liberty. After this, the New Generation series begins. I highly recommend this book to Hardcore Robotech fans. It would be great if they also released this book on DVD.

The struggle for power is over. NOT!

The Robotech Masters have been defeated, but nobody can really say Earth won either. The United Earth Government and the Army of the Southern Cross are in ruins as both political and religious movements fight over the mecha and what is left of the planet. In outer space the Invid Sensor Nebula seems to suggest that the Invid has sensed the Flower of Life on Earth. In Japan the family of Shimada wait for the coming of the Invid who they plan to negotiate with while the rest of the planet prepares for a fight. Then Colonel Jonathan Wolf arrives with a heavily armed warship from space and things become even more complex! Once again we get to meet Dana Sterling, Louie Nichols, Misa Yoshida and, in the last few pages, the Invid themselves!

A Must !!

Very interesting book, it covers the period after the end of the second robotech war and before the invid invation. It's a must in your Robotech Collection.

Good , and excellent !

This is probably the best Robotech book that Jack Mckinney ever wrote . Superb !

It was a good tie in between the 9th and 10th books

The book neatly told the story of the two year period between the end of the second robotech war and the beginning of the third robotech war. The years which i originally thought were just wasted by the humans, but interesting things actually happened. I recommend this book to any Robotech fan.
