Description

As Monument City stands in the shadow of an alien stronghold, the Southern Cross faces the relentless designs of the Robotech Masters. Metal Fire drives the Second Generation arc forward with escalating stakes, armored battalions, and the ominous bloom of Protoculture. Between battlefield valor and political gambits, Dana Sterling and her squad confront a threat that burns hotter than plasma—destiny itself.

• Key Second Generation chapter bridging the Masters conflict and the looming Invid menace
• Classic mecha combat, military SF tension, and anime-to-prose worldbuilding
• Essential reading for a complete Robotech run (Books 7–9)

Collectible Value

• 1987 Del Rey printing: increasingly scarce in clean, tight condition
• Condition sensitivity: mass-market paperbacks are prone to spine creases, edge wear, and page toning—high-grade copies command a premium
• Series continuity: a must-have to maintain integrity of a full Second Generation set
