SHIPS THAT PASS IN THE NIGHT...

It was 2020.  Six years had passed since the destruction of the Super Dimentional Fortresses 1 and 2, that final tragedy of the First Robotech War.  But Earth was on the mend now, and from the wreakage of those ships the Robotech Defense Force had succeeded in fashioning a new battle fortress - the SDF-3.  Its mission: to cross the galaxy and make peace with Tirol's Robotech Masters.

It sounded straightforward enough; but unknown to Admirala Rick and Lisa Hunter and their crew of thousands, the Robotech Masters were already on their way to Earth!

Nevertheless Tirol would have a greeting in store for the Expeditionary Mission: an incendiary salute from the warlord whose hordes had conquered half the galactic Quadrant - the Invid Regent!  Threatened with a swift and violent end, and suddenly torn by internal struggles for power, the RDF would find itself thrust into...

A SAVAGE WAR FOR SURVIVAL!

  • 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.
