It's taken the better part of a year, but the SDF-1 is almost back at Earth. The gigantic Zentraedi are still hot on their tail, though, and Earth isn't at all sure they want the ship back! Meanwhile, the alien commander, Breetai, has sent some "mirconized" crew to infiltrate the SDF-1 on a mission of espionage, trying to find out what these "humans" are made of.
Animé physics still crop up on occasion, but like book two it isn't too bad. And the plotline involving the alien infiltrators is a lot of fun to read. Men raised in a culture based entirely on war is suddenly thrust into the rather confusing environs of humanity. Yet the pace is still insanely fast. It's good for an action-packed television show, but for text a little more depth would have been nice. It's as if, when there isn't a fight or something else exciting going on, then the universe doesn't exist, and it just blinks and skips to the next event.
It's honestly hard to quantify the problems more narrowly than that. Suffice it to say that it was good, but not entirely satisfying.
