Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Beltorchika's Children (機動戦士ガンダム 逆襲のシャア―ベルトーチカ・チルドレン Kidō Senshi Gandamu Gyakushū no Shā - Berutōchika Chirudoren, 1988) - Is a novel written by Yoshiyuki Tomino and illustrated by Haruhiko Mikimoto. The original modified Hi Streamer storyline proposed by Tomino for the Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack movie was rejected and released instead as a novel. While both Beltorchika's Children and the Char's Counterattack movie are based on the same reference material, an Animage novel serial called Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Hi Streamer (April 1987 - May 1988), there are notable differences.

Story

In U.C. 0093, Char Aznable returns as leader of Neo Zeon, and is determined to drop the asteroid base Axis on Earth. Opposing him is the task-force Londo Bell, led by Amuro Ray and his Gundam. The final battle will take place over the Earth Sphere.
