book review for work

So, why NOT write my book review for work HERE? I mean, isn't that what this blog is for? Or something?

We have a science fiction newsletter at work, and my review is due tomoro. I procrastinate, I cannot tell a lie.

ROBOTECH THE MACROSS SAGA - BATTLECRY (034538900X)
ROBOTECH THE MACROSS SAGA - DOOMSDAY (0345391454)
by Jack McKinney

Written in the late 80s, the Robotech Macross Saga is an non-stop, action packed series about the Earth and it's wars - a civil war, and a war with the Zentraedi, an alien species that suddenly attacks them in 1999. Putting aside their own squabbles, the people of Earth must unite or be destroyed, leading to the development of the Robotech Defense Force. Using the aliens' own technology, the soldiers of the RDF must fight back with planes that transform into giant robots, and a superdimensional fortress that can "fold-jump" to the other side of the solar system. After completing a jump, the SDF-1 finds itself having taken the tiny island of Macross with it to the other side of Pluto. They must somehow make their way home, while rebuilding their homes on board the fortress, and watching for the enemy aliens. To make matters even more complicated, a number of aliens defect and want to co-exist peacefully with the humans. With all of their hopes resting on one young girl and her voice, a young man torn between his duty and his heart, and the brave crew of the SDF-1, humans and aliens alike learn that they must win, or be destroyed. Based on an original cartoon television series in the 80s, Robotech is a thrilling story, with characters that are so real, that the reader wil experience their heartache and turmoil, as well as their joy and happiness. An excellent mix of science fiction and military thriller, you won't be able to put it down until you're read to the last page. Five balls of yarn
