\"1908icon\"<\/p>\n

A monstrous black hole approaches Earth, threatening to swallow the entire planet. A massive emigration effort is underway, but a determined enemy stands in the way of salvation. Now, the time has come for Space Battleship Yamato<\/em> to awaken after a 17 year slumber!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Welcome to a rare opportunity to experience a Yamato<\/em> story in prose form. This is nothing unusual in Japan, where novelizations go all the way back to 1974 (read the very first one here<\/a>), but it\u2019s certainly a rarity to read that prose in English.<\/p>\n

The Resurrection<\/em> novelization is unique in two ways. First, it was published on a very limited basis, as part of the Resurrection Complete Box<\/em> set in October 2010, and never sold separately. Second, it is the only Yamato<\/em> novelization (so far) written by a woman, Rei Morimura, whose publishing credits go back to 1985.<\/p>\n

As with all well-rounded novelizations, it expands upon material seen on the screen and adds levels of characterization that work better in text form. The novel\u2019s only artwork was the cover painting seen here. All images contained in the chapters are from the production archives or the film itself.<\/p>\n

Earth\u2026the mother planet that gave birth to us and raised us\u2026Earth and the human race will face an unprecedented crisis\u2026<\/p>\n

Seventeen years after Space Battleship Yamato<\/em> sank in the sea of the wandering planet Aquarius\u2026<\/p>\n

It is the year 2220\u2026<\/p>\n
