Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt, Vol. 23

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.

Even though Sojo Levan Fu's assault force has captured the Solar Ray's command center, there's no stopping the countdown to the massive weapon being fired. On board the BIG-ZAM, Karla Mitchum has completely lost herself in the madness of the incessant carnage all around her. Now with total control over the Solar Ray, she no longer needs the Sojo's Newtype powers and is free to wreak her vengeance on the fleeing citizens of Side 3--and she may not stop there. Out in the maelstrom of battle, Daryl and Io both make separate but shocking discoveries about Sojo Levan Fu that no one but Director Humphries could have foreseen...
