Battle in Outer Space

You wake up aboard the space station JSS-3 as gravity flickers off and on. By dawn, UFOs bracket Earth and begin bending minds to their will. Months later, the world’s leaders convene to launch a counter-fleet. The entire battle plays out against star charts and cracked porcelain coffee cups. Honda folds a sequel’s spine into a 74-minute sprint through cosmic weightlessness.
