Expect giant robots, explosive battles and lots and lots of feelings in this queer space opera from Alex White.

In this new wide-screen space opera, humanity has met its match. An alien race of enormous robotic AI have destroyed most of humanity's outposts. But, on the eve of the Earth's destruction, at a goodbye party thrown by nonbinary rock star Ardent Violet, a young man makes one last desperate attempt to reach out and convinces one of humanity's enemies to switch sides. Now, earth just might have a chance to survive...

'A brilliant firework display of apocalypses, giant robots, gore, glam, and a nonbinary icon - this is mecha absolutely masterfully done'
