The dryads speak to him… In the year 0126 of the New Calendar, the excess population of a ruined Earth have been moved to resource-strapped colony spheres and claustrophobic Lunar cities. Wars are fought with giant mecha robots called armored dryads. Pilots with enhanced psychic abilities can speak to their dryads, operating their mechas with superhuman skill. Drummed out of the Territorial Forces, former dryad pilot Jack X-Ray returns home to Arcadia, the oldest city on Luna. One night at a punk rock show, Jack reconnects with his buddy Hiro, a club owner and thief, who’s been holding onto Jack’s old dryad, the Waltzing Matilda. As Jack and Hiro hustle their way back into an illegal mecha fighting match, they find themselves caught between Arcadia’s black market underworld and the encroaching takeover by EarthGov. Forced to take a stand after a heist goes sideways, Jack becomes a reluctant leader of the growing resistance movement. Two-Tone Mecha, part one of the Mondo Chrome series, is a quirky space adventure for fans of Andor, Mobile Suit Gundam, The Expanse, and Terry Pratchett.
