Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This is the wrong book!
Review: All of the editorial and customer reviews refer to Dominion: Tank Police; This is not that book. Do not buy this book unless you want to be seriously dissapointed when a paperback novel about Canadians shows up. Search for "dominion tank" and it will show up with a photo of the cover.

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: Don't confuse the two books...
Review: Dominion: Conflict 1 (No More Noise) is not Dominion : Tank Police. In Conflict all the tanks are mini, the bad guy flies a plane (because the air is nice and clean) and the Puma sisters are now COPS! Jealous meter maids, corrupt officials and a tank design competition. Will mini-tanks be replaced?
The fact is this book is set in a universe totally different from the DVDs and the other manga. Extras include the fact files in the back, plus lots of scenes with the Puma sisters. They're easy to make happy, just give them candy or food, and they can sleep anywhere. Anna can even change her size (but I prefer her in her adult, shapely, size). Uni, on the other hand, seems more serious about the job.

Summary: Tank Police: Episode 2 1/2
Review: From Masumune Shirow(creator of APPLESEED)comes this special "filler" story to the original DOMINION: TANK POLICE video series. This manga happens inbetween the two parts of the OVA, namely eps. 2 & 3. Here, it is the not too far off future where Earth is covered by a bacteria cloud that forces everyone to wear gas masks while outdoors. In this hostile enviroment, crimes are commonplace, and to fight this is the Tank Police. They're your average special forces task squad that patrol the streets in large tanks. Except one tank in particular is custom-made and compact, Bonaparte. This is piloted by the tomboy Leona and her would be boyfriend Al. They usually have their hands full with the criminal/activist cyborg Buaka and his catgirl playmates: Annapuma and Unapuma. Their capturing of the synthetic lifeform, Greenpeace, may be the only hope humanity has of lifting the bacteria cloud. But Buaka plans on heading for outer space to live life on a new colony. Can Leona and her squad stop them? Will the chief ever stop yelling "BRENTEN"? See Shirow's masterwork in action to find out.

P.S. This little baby is actually a prelude into the GHOST IN THE SHELL manga. No kidding!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Welcome to the future...
Review: From the creator of Ghost in the shell, Massamune Shirow, comes a story about the future in which mankind has to wear oxygen masks outside, lives in bio-created cities and fears crime levels so high that the police use tanks! The main character is a tank-loving Leona Ozaki,a police mini-tank commander, who seems to be fighting a one-woman war against crime, which in most cases means she is dealing with Buaku, a master criminal, and his two catgirl thugs, the Puma sisters (who make an appearance in Ghost in the Shell).
The fact is, that Buaku has more than just gold coins on his mind. In fact, the future of planet Earth, and the human race, hangs in the balance. Can the tank police stop him or will he get away with more than just cash?
Great book. Has extras, like character files and even a small chapter on min-tanks. Also includes an extra story - Phantom of the Audience. Like most of Shirow's books there is great artwork and lots of humor as well as important themes about mankind and his changing world. Not as solid as Ghost in the Shell, but frankly, what manga is?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Manga you must read!!!
Review: If you like Manga, you're gonna love this one!

Summary: SCI-FI POLICE ACTION BY THE CREATOR OF GHOST IN THE SHELL!
Review: Leona is back and is a feisty tank commander in the Newport Police department of the 21st century. Once again, she's up against the almost unstoppable forces of evil - Buaku's android sidekicks, the Puma Sisters, are now police officers; the meter maids of police HQ are out to destroy her career; and, worst of all, the sky-pirate Urushi-Maru has a plane that her tank cannon can't stop! A science-fiction police adventure with the light, comedic touch of writer/artist Masamune Shirow, creator of Appleseed and Ghost In The Shell. This is the second collected volume of the DOMINION series.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Entertaining to read, though not one of Shirow's best
Review: This book is reccomended to those who are more interested to Masamune's humorous side....Technical at times, but does not par to his best "Ghost in the Shell" and "Orion."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you loved the Anime then Read the Manga
Review: This book was illustrated by Masamune Shirow , one of Japans finest artists so if your a fan of it , read it!
