a mysterious ship crash lands on earth; which stops humanity,
By A Customer
This review is from: Robotech Genesis (#1) (Mass Market Paperback)
A saga, worthy of StarWars, or Startrek. In it's complexity,conflict, and emotional makeup. While writen originally in 1986, the theme of a global civil war resonates today; with the crises in the Balkans, and the Middle East. It is a tale of how person can change history. The person, being Zor the Tirolian Lord of the Protoculture; who rebels against his evil keepers: The Robotech Masters; by sending a superdimensional fortress off to Earth which is facing anhilition at the hands of the Human Race. Carrying onboard the one thing that, without the Masters are nothing. The Invid Flower of Life; a plant with metaphysical powers, which also serves as a source of fuel.

The greatest book to exist besides the Bible,
By A Customer
This review is from: Robotech Genesis (#1) (Mass Market Paperback)
Robotech: Genesis, by Jack McKinney, is by quite far one of the greatest contemporary science fiction novels to date. The first in a series consisiting of twenty-one books, it combines detailed action, political intrigue, military protocol, and an intertwining story of love, heroism, and death. This book chronicles the first of the journeys of the Macross Generation and is an excellent start to the epic saga of Robotech. The novel is a great one with an excellent exposition, details (something that cannot be stressed enough), character development, and an infinitely thickening plot that makes the book hard to put down. The quotes at the beginning of each chapter give the novel a depth and realism unparalleled by most science fiction novels. The only lacking quality is dialogue. All of the dialogue was scripted right from the television series, and if one has seen any of the episodes, reading the novel may at times seem more like watching the episode than anything. But, the novel goes farther than the television series did and has greater room for creativity. It also contains scenes that were not played out on the television series, giving better foundation to the storyline. Robotech: Genesis is worthy of five stars.

A Must For All Robotech Fans!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Robotech Genesis (#1) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you enjoyed watching Robotech, this is the book for you. Along with following the story of the war between the Zentraedi and the Micronians (or humans) you also learn a little more about some of the characters which are involved in this story. You'll laugh out loud when you read about Rick and Minmei's first thoughts about each other, and you'll feel concerned about each of the characters when a crucial decision must be made between survival or surrender. I recommend this book to any Robotech or Sci-Fi fans.
