I have always had a soft corner for the early action animated cartoons which came out in the 80s - Ninja Robots, Ninja Turtles, DragonballZ. So imagine my joy when I learn that a book series based on one of those was available. And my subsequent disappointment.
Terrible character development, superficial displays, TONS of missed opportunities (especially with the enigmatic Captain Gloval of the SDF - 1), unfinished plot lines, gaping plot holes - this book was a ginormous let down. The storyline reminded a lot of Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek - Voyager, but again, missed opportunities. Kudos to the tech vision though, even if it was superficial.
Can't believe there exist dozens of books in this series. Will give the second one a go, but goodbye hope.
