An epic story of war and survival set in the legendary Gundam
universe!
In the Universal Century year 0079, the space colony known as Side 3
proclaims independence as the Principality of Zeon and declares war on
the Earth Federation. One year later, they are locked in a fierce battle
for the Thunderbolt Sector, an area of space scarred by the wreckage of
destroyed colonies.
From the frozen wastes of Antarctica to the abyssal depths of the ocean,
Operation Thunderbolt is under way. Io Fleming heads back into battle
aboard the Federation MS carrier Spartan. While taking a perilous
course through the Antarctic Ocean, Spartan is pursued by a Zeon
submarine unit. Io takes the controls of the awesome new RX-78AL Atlas
Gundam, but as always, it's not the machine but the pilot that makes the
difference in the unforgiving crucible of combat.
