What Readers Said about Combat Frame XSeed: CY 40 Second Coming:
Easily the best giant mech novel I’ve ever read. Niemeier knows what I like and hurls more of it into each successive novel. Can’t wait for the next one.
-Author Adam Lane Smith, author of Maxwell Cain: Burrito Avenger
Everything that I enjoyed from the previous two books is present in a clearer more concentrated form. Niemeier continues to grow more comfortable with the action and intrigues required in a martial thriller, enough to step on the gas and pick up the pace from the already brisk prequels.
More XSeed is on its way, set even further into the future, and, from hints dropped on Niemeier’s blog, it’s a future of war and platypuses. Until then, CY 40 II and its page-turner prequels supply enough heavy metal mecha action to hold readers over.
-The Pulp Archivist
This crazy mfer starts with fixing gundam and doing it better then pivots to Macross meets 40k. Oh boi oh boi
-@EmpReb
The Plan
You funded a complete series of awesome XSeed books. I made good on everything I promised and more. That's three epic campaigns funded and tons of sweet perks delivered to satisfied backers!
That was just for starters! Now we kick the blazing mech action into high gear with book 1 in an all-new military sci fi series, Combat Frame XSeed: S!
We are going to crush this.
And we'll do it without corporate publishers telling us how to have fun. I work for you, the reader, and my job is making sure you are entertained!
My track record proves I'm good at bringing you fun. And I work without the safety net of megacorp money.
The only one I rely on to entertain you is YOU!
When you back this project, not only will you help me cover production and marketing costs, you'll get the book before anyone else.
And that's just for starters. It wouldn't be a CFXS campaign without a spectacular selection of awesome perks. So that's just what we've got in store for you!
New to the XSeed saga? No worries! Every perk tier automatically includes the entire first series of 3 Combat Frame XSeed eBooks, plus the digital edition of Combat Frame XSeed: S!
