Description

Blurb:
Hoichi’s on the run, with an armada of steel-slicing, bone-crunching Riofaldian death machines hot on his tail! Racing to reach the giant robot Exaxxion before the vicious alien Ambassador Shes’ka can put an end to the human uprising -- and to Hoichi’s life -- all eyes are on the young pilot as he fights his way through one alien threat after another, determined to reach his destination. But even if he does take the controls of Exaxxion, he’s hardly had the training or experience needed to pilot the high tech behemoth. Add that to the fact that the U.N. military is treating Exaxxion like it’s as much of a threat as the Riofaldians, and Earth’s last defense could be over before it’s even begun!
Klappentext:
Kenichi Sonoda, bekannt geworden durch die Reihe »Gunsmith Cats«, zeichnet mit seiner neuen »Exaxxion: The Cannon God«-Serie ein spannendes und facettenreiches Bild von der Zukunft. Denn die Menschheit ist nicht mehr alleine auf der Erde: Dem Menschen ähnliche Außerirdische, die vom Planeten Riofald stammen, leben friedlich neben den Menschen her. Nur Dr. Housake, ein etwas exzentrischer Wissenschaftler, zweifelt an diesem Frieden. Sein Ziel ist es, die Menschen aufzurütteln und ihnen klarzumachen, dass eine segensreiche und friedliche Zukunft mit Hilfe der Faldianer nicht mehr ist als ein Wunschtraum. Vor allem zwei »Hilfsmittel« stehen ihm dabei zur Verfügung: Die von ihm geschaffenen Androiden, die nicht nur wahre Traummaße besitzen, sondern sich auch noch in jedes beliebige technische Gerät verwandeln können und natürlich sein Enkel Hoichi, der an seiner von den Faldianern kontrollierten Schule alles andere als einen leichten Stand hat. Denn Hoichi glaubt an seinen als verrückt verschrienen Großvater und verteidigt seine Argumente immer recht schlagkräftig.

Und dann geschieht es: Am zehnten Jahrestag des ersten Kontaktes zwischen beiden Völkern starten die Außerirdischen den Angriff auf die Erde. Es liegt nun an Hoichi, den Kampf gegen die Faldianer aufzunehmen. Ausgerüstet mit einem vollelektronischen High-Tech-Kampfanzug beginnt er, gegen die Feinde vorzugehen. Doch diese reagieren prompt und bombardieren Japan mit ihren Mega-Vernichtungswaffen! Doch einen Trumpf haben Dr. Housake und sein Enkel noch zu bieten: EXAXXION …

Testo della bandella:

Ammettiamolo: avere la possibilità di diventare il difensore della razza umana pilotanto un potentissimo robot gigante è più o meno il sogno di tutti. Ma a volte i sogni si tramutano in incubi, specie quando il ‘nemico’ fa già parte della società in cui vivi, specie se è alieno, specie se questo scatena atti terroristici e razzisti. Specie quando hai conoscenti, colleghi tra la popolazione nemica, tutte brave persone che fino a un attimo prima non sapevano nemmeno di essere una minaccia per l’umanità, e vivevano fianco a fianco con essa. Specie quando la guerra che combatti strenuamente porta a gravi errori, al ‘fuoco amico’, e gli avversari la sfruttano mediaticamente per mostrare all’umanità che… il vero nemico sei tu!
