Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt Vol.3 by Yasuo Ohtagaki

Author and illustrator Yasuo Ohtagaki brings us the third volume in the Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt series. As the story opens we see Io and Daryl continue their fight. The Heavy armored Gundam is running out of firepower while the Physio Zaku keeps fighting. Both men are locked in a battle that takes them through a hulk of a dead colony. While their battle is going on the remaining Moore Brotherhood Federation forces take over the Living Dead divisions ship but the Zeon forces won't let the Federation survives take it without a fight. Soon a missile heads for the location of the fight between the Gundam and the Zaku taking the Gundams head off. That forces Io to abandon what there was left of the Gundam even to the point where the core fighter couldn't eject. Then then inevitable happens and Io and the Federation survivors are taken prisoner by the Zeon reinforcements. This was a great quick read and I highly recommend it for all Mecha fans and Gundam fans too. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
