In the fall of 1987 the Japanese modeling magazine ''Model Graphix'' began to serialize an original monthly Gundam novel named Gundam Sentinel. The series ran from 1987 until its conclusion in the month of August in 1988 . ''Gundam Sentinel'' became a cult hit due to the super-detailed mechanical designs of the series and the intricate story by veteran writer and ''Gundam'' fan Masaya Takahashi . ''Gundam Sentinel'' took a much more realistic look at the ''Gundam'' world, where Mobile Suits were seen more as fighter jets or military weapons, rather than as cartoonish robots. It was also the debut of Hajime Katoki , who has come to be one of ''Gundam's'' most prolific mechanical designers. After ''Gundam Sentinel'' completed its run, all of the individual articles were compiled by ''Model Graphix'', some new material and artwork was added, and it was published as a 320-page photo-novel under the title ''Gundam Wars III''. It was released in September of 1989 , is highly regarded as one of the best ''Gundam'' books ever written. In July of 1990 the story was again republished as a novel titled ''Gundam Sentinel: Alice's Confession''. CHARACTERS Earth Federation Forces
