Signal Boost ~ Brian Niemeier's "Combat Frame XSeed S" Campaign



Two Signal Boosts in a row? That is quite out of the ordinary for this blog, but summer is typically a busy season in general. This is the time when creators and customers are the most active, and I would be remiss to not chip in at such a time to aide both in finding what they want. NewPub is exploding in activity and increasing in success, and I'd like to highlight some of it.

This time we are looking at Brian Niemeier's Combat Frame XSeed Indiegogo campaign. He has successfully crowdfunded every book in the series so far, and this one is no exception. It is already funded and ready to go with less than a week left in the cmapaign. In fact, it is doing the best out of every campaign he has done so far.

So why does this project need a signal boost? He appears to be crushing it quite soundly. There is a good reason for that beyond the obvious one of supporting NewPub creators. First let us look at the campaign description then I will explain.


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!

The author has introduced stretch goals such as bonus short stories for all backers, card games, and perks such as posters. There is a lot of content to look through to see what strikes your fancy. Check out the campaign for yourself.

However, despite its success there is one goal he has mentioned that those in NewPub should want him to hit. If he reaches 5 figures ($10,000) on his campaign he will be able to look into animation and move up to the next stage. That's right, if readers can give him the support he needs they will have opened up a brand new road for those in NewPub to travel down. This is something we all want to see happen for very obvious reasons.

All that aside, this is still a campaign worth supporting as Mr. Niemeier is an author who knows how to spin a yarn. As someone who has hired his services as an editor I can confirm his knowledge in the subject of storytelling. You will have a great time.

Back the campaign today secure in the knowledge you will be taken on an adventure you have never experienced before. NewPub is killing it, and you can be a part of the action!

  1. Excellent! I'm looking to start reading his works. Have Netherreal on my Kindle, just waiting for my brain to be less dumb before I tackle it (just had a baby, the dumb is real). Would you recommend starting with his Xseed series instead?

    1. XSeed is a more straightforward mecha/space opera series. His Soul Cycle is not quite as accessible, though if you can get your head around it then it is good fun.
