RICK HUNTER: I'M NOT WHINY-.....UHH I MEAN WORTHY!!!!

I JUST FOUND LOVE...AND NOW THIS? - RICK HUNTER If one conclusion I've come to about Rick Hunter in the Robotech Novels, it's that the "failure" with Lynn Minmei lingers with him throughout the saga. I don't doubt that he was happy with his choice of Lisa for his wife...but the vibe I get is that there is a lot of remorse on the road getting there.

He is the oldest member of the Plenipotentiary Council...and...kind of a grouch. ***** "Toys," Dr. Harry Penn told Lang, an undisguised note of disapproval in his voice.

Hi guys and girls! I've been a little behind on updates, but here I am! We've do have more activity going on at our Facebook Page. Join us by clicking HERE Now one of the things that stood out with the Novels at first look was the cover art; With the exception of the "Lost Generation" Novels, it was one man behind the incredible and unforgettable art; David Schleinkofer. Whether it was the Novels art of the original story, the Sentinels or End of the Circle; David gave Robotech a fresh look. Characters looking more real and a closer look at some of the iconic mecha and who could forget "Bucket-head" Breetai? And before Robotech, for us 80s kids, David had a hand on some toy box art from another franchise... Along With Brian and Jim, David made his mark in the Robotech Legacy. For this post I have a special surprise for you all. Below is an email-interview I did with David back in 2010 for Robotech's 25th Anniversary on The Proto
