4.0 out of 5 stars The story outwieghs the lack of action by far, 20 April 1999
By A Customer
This is one the the books that no good fan should go without reading. The story is one of the best that Mckinney came up with on his own and, for those not privy to other scources, explains the transition from the launch of the SDF-3 to the sudden jump into the war in "Southern Cross". NOT A GOOD BOOK FOR BEGINNERS! This book deals with the issues faced after the REF left the earth nearly defenseless and should be read in chronological order, not numerical order

5.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling cyberpunk drama set on the Robotech universe., 28 Jan 1999
By A Customer
The Masters Gambit is one of the best Sci-Fi books that I have ever read. To the contrary of other sci-fi novelized series, like Star Wars, in which the aging and tired heroes are called once again for fighting the would-be Emperor warlord of the week, in the Robotech novels the story evolves logically and coherently without contradicting previous and future developments with a lot of action, drama, romance and moments of fun too. Going to the point of this critic, this novel in particular approaches the Robotech universe from a Cyberpunk point of view, up to the heights of a William Gibson's "Neuromancer" or any work by Bruce Sterling. Its dark enviroment is appealing, in which an "orphaned" new generation without links neither feelings towards the Pre-space war world of their dead parents, is only interested in drugs, having casual sex, and surfing the cyberspace for hacking goverment and corporations secrets as a way of earning the day; all this makes of this book a very interesting story about what the future of our society could be. In a very interesting fact, "The Masters Gambit" outruns the cult anime movie "Macross Plus" in first introducing the concept of a virtuoroid, a virtual reality idol, "EVE" all along the story kept me remembering to "Sharon Apple" And besides is an excellent way by the part of the virtuoroid author "Jack McKinney" of linking the stories of the original Macross generation with the generation of the Southern Cross army. Paraphrasing to "EVE": "The new generation assumes its reponsabilities with order and self-confidence and enjoys the life by reading Robotech novels".
