ENGLISH



Today would have been Brian Daley's 67th birthday. Brian, along with best friend and best selling author James Luceno gave life to the Robotech Novels under the pseudonym JACK MCKINNEY. Aside from Robotech, Brian made his mark in the Star Wars franchise as well writing for the best selling series "The Han Solo Adventures" and scripting the radio dramatizations for the Original Trilogy. (Episodes IV, V and VI)

Brian Daley......NEVER FORGOTTEN.

I look forward with great anticipation to continue celebrating Brian and Jim's Robotech legacy in the coming weeks on ROBOTECH: THE MCKINNEY PROJECT.

Maybe not the whole backstory, but enough to make them an essential piece to the Robotech narrative. Case in point; "Major General Emerson, Chief of Staff, Ministry of Terrestrial Defense" ...Army of the Southern Cross. In the RNU...this was the result of BLACKMAIL! Excerpt; Leonard tilted his big head to regard Emerson. "And on your end?" "I want my own rank reinstated." "Only if you agree to serve the Army of the Southern Cross." Emerson nodded, as if having anticipated the counterdemand. "But in return I'll expect to be granted absolute authority over Space Station Liberty." "Granted, Major General Emerson."

But how much do we know about Macross Island's actual location?  Well, not much; The animated series narrates; "...Macross Island in the South Pacific." You may not know it now little island...but BIG things are in your future! In Robotech: The Graphic Novel, we get a little more. That map is at almost a 90 degree viewing angle! When we get to the Novels, we are given something a little more specific, albeit brief, but it gives "At last the object slowed, obviously damaged but still capable of maneuvering.
