The XSeed saga is ending, but the fun's just starting! It's my pleasure to announce our first exciting stretch goal:
Readers loved the original Combat Frame Tech Manual. Having an illustrated guide to all the original series CFs made the pulse-pounding combat even more immersive.
All that was missing were stats on the incredible S-Series combat frames ...
Until now! Fans of the Mance, Imhullu, Einherjar, and other advanced war machines now have the chance to back a full-color guide to their favorite S-Series CFs.
Announcing our first stretch goal: Illustrated CF Tech Guide 2! Available when we reach $4000

The Hit Mech Saga’s World-Rending Conclusion
Betrayed by their makers …
… their sole hope is vengeance.
Humanity reels from the disastrous Battle of Earth. Blamed for the crushing defeat, the Guardian Angels are branded as traitors.
Jehu, Dex, and Kaiser must make a daring escape to save their families from a resurgent terror.
To clear their names, they must lead the rebel ExSols they once fought.
But against the combined might of the UCP and the Ynzu, do even Angels have a prayer of victory?

What Readers Said about Combat Frame XSeed SS
This is my favorite of the XSeed novels. Tighter narrative ... and a laser focus on story. And the whole thing begins and ends with combat frame duels, with tons more action in between. There were even enough explosions to satisfy this rabid action fan.
I want more of this series. Lots more.
-Adam Lane Smith, bestselling author of Gideon Ira: Knight of the Blood Cross
Great mech action. It's only too believable that while humanity faces its greatest danger factions are at one another's throats. I'm genuinely surprised at the ending. I'm interested in where the story goes next.
-Scott Osmond, Top 100 Amazon Reviewer
Brian Niemeier's XSeed series recaptures the old mecha fun without the pop-cult dross or high-art pretension. It's pulp. You read, enjoy the ride, move on. This installment reminds me most of Gunbuster in that it is concentrated on an invasion of Earth by aliens with an added twist of fifth columnists and a surprise ending. Plenty of action and intrigue with likeable characters.
-XSeed SS Backer Scott W.
The Plan
You helped revolutionize mech adventure when you backed our first hit XSeed series.
Then we leveled up mecha not just once, but twice with two record-breaking sequels!
I held up my end. And you got hours of white-knuckle fun and tons of awesome perks!
But the ride's not over.
Now's the time to finish what we started and give the XSeed saga an epic sendoff!
The big publishers scorn the pure entertainment you want. So I go around them to bring the fun direct to you!
And that means no advance, no art department, and no marketing budget. We are 100% reader funded.
So when you back this project, you ensure the book gets made, and you get it before anyone else!
Of course, it wouldn't be an XSeed campaign without a wide array of sweet rewards. We're launching this campaign with your all-time favorite perks, and we're adding more all the time!
For the lurkers waiting till the last book to pull the trigger, I hear you. The author who's years overdue on finishing his series is now a punchline.
But rest assured, I've already put out two complete series, and hitting our campaign goal will guarantee the third! I know how to finish a project, so you know you'll get the goods!
Plus every perk tier includes the XSeed S, XSeed SS, and Ƶ XSeed eBooks! That's right, you get the whole three-book series for backing at any level!
