Author and illustrator Yasuo Ohtagaki brings us the opening chapter in the Thunderbolt saga. During the Federation Zeon war of Universal Century 0079 and during the late stages of that war the Thunderbolt sector also known as Side 4 was destroyed by Zeon forcing the families and the Moore Brotherhood to join with the Federation to take back their home sector. On one mission Ensign Io goes out in a full armored GM and while the rest of his wing is being shot down by a Zeon sniper he loses his mech but finds a way to take one of the Zeon mechs for himself. That act makes his stand out and be chosen for one of the prototype Gundams that the Federation forces have come up with. He then takes the Gundam into battle and goes up against that same sniper again. This is a great opening to the Thunderbolt side series and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I highly recommend this book for all mech and Gundam fans.
