The first lines of the New Generation Saga of the Robotech Novels returns to the beginning.  It had been a long road of heartbreak...then hatred...what would the road hold now? The long road of the Invid Mother, the Regis... "...her children scattered; her regent a prisoner of the blood lust, at war with nature and enslaved to vengeance. But dare we presume to read her thoughts even now, to walk a path not taken-one denied to us by gates and towers our senses cannot perceive and perhaps never will?" RN, Invid Invasion And after all the pain she and her children endured, a world has called out to her and it offers the key to the Invid salvation...

Thank you to everyone who has listened to the podcast. Spread the word! It was a great time with all the topics we covered! One of my favorite moments was getting the answer to a question I've had since 1989. I ALWAYS kept forgetting to ask Jim for the story behind one of my WTF? moments in the Novels.....Breetai's fate in The Sentinels. I guess a 30th Anniversary was the best time to put any of my doubts to rest! The full interview is at; http://www.robotechnovels.com/2017/05/its-about-journey.html We're starting things back up tomorrow with some more Masters/Southern Cross Saga for the weekend....and next Monday....our first look into the New Generation Saga....a la Robotech Novels style! Thank you again to all for supporting what we're doing....and let's keep going! - John robotechnovels@gmail.com LIKE US ON FACEBOOK!
