Beschreibung des Verlags
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, a musician made one last desperate attempt to reach out and convince one of humanity's enemies to switch sides. Now, earth just might have a chance to survive...
A ragtag band of misfits is all that stands in the way between an army of giant mechas and humanity's total destruction in the second book of this big-hearted, technicolor space opera trilogy by one of the most exciting voices in science fiction, Alex White.
Ultra-glam enby pop star Ardent Violet thought they could catch a break and enjoy some time with their new boyfriend August Kitko after defeating the giant mechas hellbent on humanity's destruction. However, Ardent didn't count on their mecha allies summoning a host of extraterrestrials to defend Earth.
Between the diplomatic entanglements of the newly-arrived alien Coalition, and a mysterious all-powerful AI establishing a base within their solar system, there's no rest for the wicked.
When August makes a discovery that could turn the tide of the war, Ardent Violet finds they are back in the spotlight for an encore!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
White expertly raises the stakes in the adrenaline-packed middle installment of their Starlight Symphony trilogy (after August Kitko and the Mechas from Space). Having saved the world from genocidal mechas from outer space by bonding with their own set of Vanguard war machines, the flamboyant pop star Ardent Violet and their new boyfriend, jazz pianist August Kitko, want to relax. Instead, humanity's most unlikely champions are thrust back into galactic politics by the arrival of the Coalition, a collection of alien species united in self-defense against marauding AIs bent on destroying organic sentience. These other species, each of whom possess their own Vanguard, will help defend Earth from Infinite, an AI bent on absorbing all human consciousness. But trust and cooperation don't come easily in a war of this scale, especially for the ragtag musicians reluctantly representing humanity, and events soon spiral out of control, threatening not just Earth but the entire galaxy. White finds plenty of room for dry humor, tenderness, compassion, and fabulous music amid the chaos and violence. Vibrant, complicated, and passionate, this will leave readers clamoring for more.
