THEY DIDN'T ESCAPE THE KILLING GROUND

For over a year, the humans aboard the Super Dimensional Fortress fought and eluded a millions-strong armada of alien warships.

Now the SDF-1 would have to slug her way through the massed enemy fleet to return to blue-white Terra. Damaged, every crew-member and inhabitant exhausted, the ship still had one great battle left in her.

But villains come in human form as well as alien - and the evil of power-hungry men might be the most lethal threat of all.

In their greatest challenge yet, the crew of the SDF-1 face Zenteadi warriors and human betrayal, while the Cosmic scales tip and swing, writing an astonishing new chapter in the Robotech saga!

THEY JUST BROUGHT THE WAR BACK TO EARTH!

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.

Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.

When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.

When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.

Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
