About The Book

Three standalone missions expose the heart, fury, and origins of the Science Ninja Team that test Joe, Jinpei, and Doctor Nambu in battles that redefine what it means to fight Galactor.

Three thrilling, self-contained stories shine a spotlight on the heart, rage, and wisdom behind the Science Ninja Team!

Joe returns to Italy on what may be his last solo mission, lured into a deadly Galactor espionage trap that turns family, identity, and vengeance into weapons.

Jinpei uncovers a hidden Galactor sabotage threatening the God Phoenix itself, learning that the team’s greatest strength isn’t technology—but unity.

And in a powerful origin tale, Doctor Nambu confronts his past, revealing how instinct, restraint, and sacrifice forged the philosophy behind the Science Ninja Team.

About The Authors

Microsoft's award-winning The Random Adventures of Brandon Generator utilized all aspects of storytelling technique, with TLE creating the ground-breaking interactive animated web-series from a script by Edgar Wright. TLE just directed a music video for David Holmes' new band Unloved, and is currently developing an animated tv series with Film Roman, while writing and directing a multi-media film/music/comic series with Ed Banger Records called Vandroid.
