Description

Called a cornerstone of anime science-fiction, Japan's 1979 Gundam franchise boasts a worldwide cult of devotees. The Earth Federation battles rebellious off-world colonies, and 'Newtype' warriors with evolved mentality pilot gargantuan suits of high-tech armor. This novelization presents creator Yoshiyuki Tomino's unvarnished vision for his own core series, with richer characterizations and a shocking ending.
