On the subject of the Robotech books, there are a total of 21 books in the series. The first 12 books retell the entire anime series. The next five books (collectively called "The Sentinels") tell the story of what occured between books six and seven (not recounted in the anime series). Book eighteen finishes the series, and the next three books fill in gaps not covered by the previous books.
On the subject of lost childhood favorites, there are two I can mention:
- "Welcome To Mars" by James Blish. I'd previously read the Star Trek novelizations by James Blish (covering "Star Trek - The Original Series") and enjoyed them. With "Welcome To Mars," Blish tells an excellent story about a young inventor who invents a way to travel to Mars. It should still be available, and it is worth reading.
- "The Man Who Folded Himself" by David Gerrold. One of the best time travel stories I've ever read.
