Well after I finished the Sentinels and EOTC I decided to go back to the beginning and read them in chronological order. So starting with Macross then Zentradi Rebellion-Masters Gambit-then Southern Cross-Before the Invid Storm and finally Invid Invasion.
Then I will be through all 21 book for the first time. I will probably read Sentinels and EOTC again after that as I really enjoyed them.
Anyway onto Macross.
Book 1- Genesis.
I really liked the prologue and some of the more detailed explanations of how the tech works. The Rick/Minmay saga is my least favorite aspect of the whole show so it tends to drag Macross on for me personally. I was also miffed that Breetai's line "Blast them to bits!" was changed to "Destroy them!"
Overall though that is just nit picky. I am really enjoying these books.
Book 2- Battlecry
From the start I could tell that this was Luceno and also that it was him starting from the ground up on Sci Fi/Robotech. It just did not flow as well as his later writing in the Sentinels and EOTC. Still overall it was enjoyable even if I felt he cut corners on some scenes(Lisa's rescue from Mars base felt rushed..)
Book 3- Homecoming
Just started this one. The heroes have made it back to the SDF1 and are getting ready to go back to earth. So far so good.
