An unstoppable scourge lays siege to Earth 

Can humanity survive a world-destroying force that has never known defeat?

The Ynzu Siege nears its third bloody decade. Battered to the breaking point, the United Commonwealth-Protectorate recalls its combat frame carrier fleet for a last stand at Earth.

Lt. Dex Trapper must battle for his life when the Ynzu strike his remote extrasolar colony. Cut off from the UCP, Dex and his CF tech Thatch make a desperate break for help in a century-old XSeed.

Fans of J.N. Chaney’s Messenger series and Cole and Anspach’s Galaxy’s Edge will thrill to this new series in Dragon Award winner Brian Niemeier’s XSeed saga! Back it now and take the ride before anyone else!

 

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!

What are you waiting for? Back the project. Claim your ticket. And take the ride!

Back Combat Frame XSeed: S , and spread the word to fellow scifi readers. Indiegogo has share tools to make boosting the signal easy.

Thanks for your support!

Brian
