What is Gaia Gear about?
Status: Finished
Gundam Gaia Gear is the story of the resistance group Metatron’s struggle against the Man Hunting Attachment (MHA) police force of the tyrannical Earth Federation in the year UC 0203. To improve their chances of winning, Metatron creates a memory clone of the legendary Char Aznable. Char Afranche, aged 19 years, assumes command of Metatron and pilots the Gaia Gear Alpha after learning the truth of his origins.Gundam Gaia Gear was written by Tomino Yoshiyuki and features mechanical designs [mostly] by Ito Mamoru. Gaia Gear was Tomino’s first attempt to portray the 3rd century of the UC universe. Later works by Studio Sunrise have invalidated Gaia Gear and it is now considered a UC side story (when it’s remembered at all). Ito’s mechanical designs are innovative and hearken back to the days before the "Gundam Look" was set in stone.
Gundam Gaia Gear first appeared as a serial in the Japanese edition of Newtype Magazine (from April 1987 to December 1991). The story was then collected in five novels that ran from September 1988 to April 1992. It was also a radio drama that was collected on 5 CD’s (the first released in November 1992 and the final in July 1993). Two soundtrack CD’s accompanied the radio drama. Mechanical designs were featured in the February, March and April 1991 issues of Hobby Japan Magazine.

Kidou Senshi Gundam: Senkou no Hathaway
Status: Finished
Genres: Action , Drama , Mecha , Sci-Fi
As a point to note, this novel focuses on a version of events chronicled in creator Yoshiyuki Tomino's novelized form of Char's Counterattack, rather than his animated movie version, and as such, several discrepancies can be found between the animated work and this novel, making it more of a semi-canonical UC storyline, rather than 100% official canon.

Kamen Rider EVE: MASKED RIDER GAIA
Status: Finished
Genres: Action , Drama , Horror , Mecha , Sci-Fi
The series serves as a sequel to the original Kamen Rider manga. Rough plotting was done by Ishinomori some time before his death. The series was originally going to be published in place of Kamen Rider Spirits but was delayed due to certain circumstances. The first six chapters were sold in one volume in 2007 by Kodansha.
30 years ago, before the original Kamen Riders were created, Kadowaki Jun was supposed to be used as the original Kamen Rider, but Shocker's plans changed after Hongo escaped. Before he could be awaken, the double riders destroyed the Shocker base and the sleep capsule that Kadowaki was in was buried underneath the ruble of the Shocker base for 30 years.
When he finally awakes in the present day, Kadowaki has no recollection of his life. The story follows his quest to regain his memory and figure out who turned him into a cyborg.
