Ten years ago, a mysterious space-ship crashed on Macross Island… In the intervening years, the people of Earth have use the ‘Robotechnology’ from the ship to significantly advance their own technology. The ship – named by the humans as the Super-Dimension Fortress – actually belongs to a race of giant aliens, the Zentraedi. The Zentraedi attack and the crew of the SDF-1 are forced to space-fold away – take a chunk of Macross City (and its 70,000 citizens) with them. The SDF-1 has been in the midst of a long journey back to Earth. Along the way, the SDF-1’s Captain Gloval, was killed under mysterious circumstances and Lisa Hayes took over his position… Rick appears to have gone blind, but has somehow developed a different kind of vision – possibly connected to the Protoculture that powers Robotechnology. He is now concerned that Minmei has been affected… It emerges that Earth’s leaders had told the populace that the SDF-1 had been destroyed, in order to avoid panic about the threat of the Zentraedi. Lisa Hayes has been trying to persuade Earth’s leaders (including her own father) to let them return home, to little avail…Meanwhile, Earth’s Joint Chiefs have been preparing their own powerful defences against a possible Zentraedi attack… Meanwhile, Roy is being held prisoner by Dr Lazlo Zand, one of the first scientists to originally board the SDF-1. During his exploration, Zand had discovered a cloning facility – and the fact that the SDF-1 could travel through parallel dimensions… A deadly clone of Roy is doing Zand’s bidding on the SDF-1, and has murdered TR Edwards, who also knows the secrets of the SDF-1. And finally, Minmei has asked Rick to take her on a secret mission to Aluce Base, while Breetai has goaded Miriya into seeking revenge on Max Sterling.

A Warp In The Space-Time Continuum... The SDF-3 has remanifested from spacefold, but no one aboard has the faintest idea where they are. The ship appears to be grounded in some glowing fog, ensnared by light itself. Lang and Rem dub the phenomenon "newspace" -- but are at a loss to explain what it really is and who, or what, is keeping them there. For Lang, it seems like old times: The ship's Protoculture drives have disappeared. But other events are transpiring, unbeknownst to the stranded crew of the SDF-3. In Earthspace, the Ark Angel has been spared the fate suffered by the REF main fleet after the Invid transubstantiation. Vince and Jean Grant decide that the only logical course of action is to try and locate the SDF-3... On Haydon IV, something has awakened the Awareness -- and a mysterious change comes over the Haydonites. Exedore and the four Sterlings suddenly find themselves imprisoned beneath the surface -- as the planet leaves orbit, destination unknown... All of the pieces of this strange cosmic puzzle are about to come together...and the ultimate conflict is imminent. The question is: Will The Universe Survive?

Filmmakers of the Pacific Rim have been delivering punches and flying kicks to the Hollywood movie industry for years. This book explores the ways in which the storytelling and cinematic techniques of Asian popular culture have migrated from grainy, low-budget martial arts movies to box-office blockbusters such as The Magnificent Seven, Star Wars, The Matrix and Transformers. While special effects gained prominence, the raw and gritty power of live combat emerged as an audience favorite, spawning Asian stars Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan and martial arts-trained stars Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal. As well as capturing the sheer onscreen adrenaline rush that characterizes the films discussed, this work explores the impact of violent cinematic entertainment and why it is often misunderstood.
