About this title

Reviews

Gr. 7-up. Robotech was a popular Japanese anime series in the mid-1980s. This book is a prequel, following the pre-Robotech life of ace pilot Roy Fokker. Roy leaves his comfortable life of local fame in a small flying circus to join the military. He hates to leave behind his adoptive family, but the world is rife with war, and Roy feels duty-bound to serve. When the wars are cut short by the crash of an alien ship, Roy signs up to be a test pilot for the new United Earth Government. As he learns more about alien technology, he discovers there may be a larger conflict looming on the horizon. Fans of the original series will feel right at home here; they'll find the customary combination of action-adventure and soap opera continued, and they'll see familiar characters all over the place. What's more, this will grab even readers unfamiliar with Robotech; it skips the inside jokes and explanations that characterize prequels to many established series. Tina Coleman
