Novels
In the series of novels by Jack McKinney, the Elders are mentioned in more detail. Rather than clones, they were members of the original Tirolian race, and scientific contemporaries of the original Zor.
Their incredibly advanced technology led to the creation of two entire races of clones: the Zentraedi, and the Robotech Masters. Eventually, their desire for power and immortality led to the near genocide of their entire race by the Invid.

Famous quotes containing the word novels:
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
“The novels are as useful as Bibles, if they teach you the secret, that the best of life is conversation, and the greatest success is confidence, or perfect understanding between sincere people.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All middle-class novels are about the trials of three, all upper-class novels about mass fornication, all revolutionary novels about a bad man turned good by a tractor.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
