Main Description
In the middle of the One Year War, Ensign Shiro Amada is transferred to South East Asia to command Kojima Batallion's 08th MS Team, a small army of soldiers piloting RX-79[G] Gundam Ground type units. During the skirmishes in the jungle, he confronts ace Zeon pilot Norris Packard and falls in love with Aina Sahalin, a pilot involved in testing Zeon's top-secret mobile armor. This relationship leads to the Federation doubting their trust in Shiro. Now Shiro must prove his loyalty in the battleground or die a traitor.

Personal Opinions
Pierson
I liked this a lot, much more than most of the other Universal Century series. It's a much smaller scale than the other series, you aren't asked to care for a huge cast, and the action is great. Just a solid series all around really, and a good side-story to the main Gundam series.
Craptacular!
If you hate the Gundam cliches of the chosen child or the unstoppable war machine, give this one a whirl. It's about a squad of ordinarily skilled soldiers with slightly better than ordinary weapons. People interested in the love story will get what they want out of it, while those who want Gundam ass-kickery (especially on-the-ground combat) will get quite a bit of what they wanted.
