This volume moves the narrative out of the isolated Thunderbolt sector, and into the larger conflict in the galaxy.
The zeon forces have continued to be beaten back, despite victories in the Thunderbolt sector, and our two protagonists (antagonists?) appear during the conflict.
I really struggled to place the Thunderbolt conflict within the larger conflict depicted in this volume. Did the Thunderbolt sector really matter? What effect did that have on the larger conflict? These questions are not really answered.
About halfway thru this volume the war is ended and time moves ahead almost a whole year. We see both our main characters easing into different style of lives. This has an interesting effect of showing the characters in the sort of post war veteran status; however, it appears that violence is still brewing under the surface. I am curious to see where this narrative goes, but this volume suffered from sort of ending one story thread, and introducing hints of another, but not really starting one.
Worth reading, but not my favorite entry in this series.
