DOMINION Conflict 1

After the short story Phantom of the Audience, Shirow has finally come back to the Dominion universe: now the air is clean and the new Bonaparte MT-9 is the standard Police tank and, more important, the law cannot sentence androids, so the Puma sisters have to be converted to... police women!
Unfortunately there aren't good news about Conflict 2: probably it'll not come out before 2001 at the very earliest, if ever.

Below you can read the official previews of all six books published by Dark Horse:


Book #1: Humor is the only defense against insanity in a world where the air is so foul that you need to wear an oxygen mask, the economy's so depressed that even fake gold's a luxury, and the crime is so bad that the cops need armored tanks! Such is the world of Leona, ace tank-cop. In her pet tank Bonaparte, she'll either save the city of Newport... or destroy it trying! In No More Noise, Leona recruits some help to catch some slippery crooks -- help that's rather crooked itself! The villainous and sexy Puma sisters become duly deputized officers of the law in this latest chapter of Dominion!
Book #2: Leona Ozaki is the most experienced tank patrol cop in Newport City's Police Department. She's faced down gun-toting sky pirates and berserk street thugs and walked away with hardly a scratch! But not even her battle experience could have prepared her for the adversaries awaiting her back at HQ -- the love-starved, female cops who want to keep her away from heartthrob police chief Sakurai! On top of that, Leona has to contend with her new law-enforcement partner, Anna Puma, a woman who can't figure out the difference between being chased by the police and wearing the badge herself!
Book #3: It's a workday from hell for officer Leona Ozaki. The jealous traffic-meter girls are determined to get between her and handsome chief-of-staff Sakura; her uptight subordinate Shinozaki has mysteriously disappeared into the Traffic Control Division; and sky pirate Urushi-Maru is flying free above the city. Leona has neither the time nor the patience for this -- but what she does have are three HEAT rounds, and if she aims them just right she can end all of her troubles!
Book #4: The flipped red flag of an expired parking meter is the favored sight of Newport's intrepid meter maids! Or, rather, it was the favored sight, before studly chief-of-staff Sakura came to the Newport Police Department! So when tank policewoman Leona Ozaki appears to be making time with the handsome superintendent, the maids take to the streets to put an end to the pairing... and find themselves in the middle of a raging gang brawl!
Book #5: Leona's tank is state of the art! It can go over, under, or through any obstacle -- or, rather, any obstacle besides a crowd of anti-Tank Police peaceniks! When the only thing standing between your outrageous firepower and the biggest bust of your life is a pack of demonstrating pacifists, what do you do?
Book #6: Bringing infamous sky pirate Urushi-Maru down to earth was no problem. Pump enough Sayori-14 HEAT rounds into a biplane, it's not gonna stay up for long. But the real battle still lies ahead for tank-cop Leona Ozaki; now she has to explain to her supervising officer why one of the city's most important factories is going up in smoke! Leona may always get her man, but they sure don't come along easily!

Instead this is the preview by Studio Proteus:


Newport's wild and unruly Tank Police are at it again. When a dud shell lets the notorious sky pirate Urushi-maru slips through the fingers of newly promoted tank squad commander Leona, the city's most dedicated tank girl knows she's in for a bad day. But how bad who could imagine?
Her squad has to fight for new ammunition with the tight-wad department section chief, she's been ordered to represent the department at the priggish Kinki Regional Police headquarters committee to select the next generation police armored fighting vehicle, and the goopy star of the hit TV talk show, "Love Will Save the World" has chosen this day of all day to film "The Policeman is Our Friend" live at Tank Police HQ!
But that's not the half of it. The Chief has also selected Leona's squad to experiment with the department's first android police officers, and the new lady cops turn out to be none other than Leona's old nemesis, the uncontrollable and drop-dead gorgeous Puma sisters, Anna and Uni.
Can the reprogrammed robot crime-babes be turned into spit and polish law guardians? Can they at least be kept from stealing evidence and breaking and entering on the job? Can Leona evade the "love attack" of the lady killer assistant chief of Kinki Police, the dashing Captain Kenji Sakura, and the jealous machinations of the over-sexed Meter Maids of the Traffic Control Department out to stop the romance at any cost? Will the Tank Police survive the crooked scheming of corrupt officials at headquarters who want to throw the next-generation tank contract to the sleazy hacks at Hammer Industries?
And above all, can Leona and her one true love, the mini-tank Bonaparte Ten, survive the "Work Day From Hell" and still find time to get their man, the elusive sky pirate of Newport City?
Shirow Masamune brings all the grit, grandeur, and goofiness of future police procedural together in the wildest, most intense Dominion story yet!
