Hello Readers!
Star Spread Panic is a story I’ve always wanted to tell. I’m a huge fan of the giant robot genre (Mobile Suit Gundam, Gurren Lagann, Robotech/Macross) and this is my take on those mecha-ridden space operas.
The story follows Willem Landon, a mobile police pilot charged with stopping acts of terrorism with his wingmen Marge and Eric. The three man RAV (Robotic Attack Vehicle) team finds themselves over their heads when a group of space pirates start terrorizing civilian ships and colonies.
Except they aren’t any ordinary pilots.
The Locust Squadron is a genocidal group of drones operated by the mummified and hardwired corpses of ace pilots from the Coloinal War. Landon’s skills are outmatched and outgunned by the group, who are deadset on killing every colonist they can find nestled in the stars.
Landon will struggle with his humanity about what it means to be a cog in the war machine as he pits himself against manifestiations of what war can turn pilots into.
I hope you enjoy the story and I look forward to your feedback!
Thanks,
Kenny Porter
