In May, 2004, Stone Bridge Press issued Yoshiyuki Tomino's Mobile Suit Gundam trilogy of novels in a new single-volume format. First published in English by Del Rey in 1990 (see below), and based on the legendary anime show of the same name, these long-out-of-print novels represent director Tomino's radically different interpretation of his own work. Over 480 pages, illustrated, with an introduction by U.S. Gundam expert Mark Simmons. Retails for $14.95.
"...[T]he characters are deeply layered, with complex motivations and beliefs. Jealosy, family rivalry, sex, lust for power, suspicion, fear, and a host of other all-too-human attributes influence the flow of the narrative, with the fog of war confusing the judgements of both sides.... this book is ultimately a page-turner...." -- Andrew J. Weber, in The Asian Reporter, V14, #40 (September 28, 2004), p. 11.
