The Gundam SEED novels are a series of 5 books written by Liu Goto (後藤 リウ Goto Riu) and illustrated by Ogasawara Tomofumi (小笠原 智史). The novel was published in Japan by Kadokawa Shoten from 2003 to 2004. The English version was published by Tokyopop and it was canceled at volume 3.
The titles of the books (English title first, followed by the Japanese one) are:
- 1: Divergent Strike (すれ違う翼 Surechigau Tsubasa)
- 2: The Desert Tiger (砂漠の虎 Sabaku no Tora)
- 3: The Country of Peace (平和の国 Heiwa no Kuni)
- 4: 舞い降りる剣 (The Descending Sword)
- 5: 終わらない明日へ (To A Future That Never Ends)
Note: Since volumes 4 and 5 are not yet published in English, their English titles are taken from the titles of the anime episodes.
Story
In the world of the Cosmic Era, war rages between the genetically enhanced humans known as Coordinators and those who remain unmodified, the Naturals, who dominate the Earth Alliance. Struggling to catch up with the Coordinators' superior technology, the Alliance secretly develops its own Gundam mobile suits. But through a twist of fate, a young Coordinator, Kira Yamato, becomes the pilot of the Alliance's prototype... and is forced to fight his own people in order to protect his friends.
