It has been two years since the ancient gods had attempted to exterminate the human race for their treatment of the Earth. The gods were defeated, and the human was saved by the man-made, hybrid kaiju Chimera. With the gods no longer capable of challenging them, interdimensional beings known as the Dark Ones have returned to destroy the Earth itself. Led by the titan Cronus, the Dark Ones unleash numerous monsters, demons, and giants from the realm of myth onto the planet with the directive to destroy all forms of life. Realizing that the monsters under his command may not be capable of defeating the hybrid, Cronus searches parallel Earths to find a monster who is strong enough to challenge Chimera.
After scouring countless Earths, Cronus finds Atomic Rex. With his vast powers, Cronus sends Atomic Rex to Chimera’s Earth and sets the monster loose. The few gods that remain alive after the war with humans, discover Cronus’s intentions. The gods reluctantly ally themselves with humans and Chimera in an attempt to save the planet. Chimera and Atomic Rex will fight their way through the gods and monster of myth as they both head to the greatest challenge either one of them has ever faced in each other.

On the planet known as Arena World, giant monsters are used by the Arena Lords as gladiators to fight to death for the wagering and enjoyment of their crowd. In recent years, the muscled monster known as Gurral the Smasher had risen to the ranks of arena champion. So dominant are Gurral’s victories that the crowd is losing interest in his battles. With crowd interest waning, the Arena Lords are desperate to find a monster who can offer their champion a challenge, lest they lose the crowd and with it their position of power.
An enigmatic Newcomer approaches his fellow Arena Lords with the knowledge that rifts have been opening in the time space continuum. These rifts allow access to other worlds and dimensions. The Newcomer suggests that on one of these worlds is a beast who can challenge Gurral. A beast who has crushed dozens of other kaiju. A beast known as Atomic Rex!
The Newcomer manipulates both the Arena Lords and Gurral into sending the Smasher to battle and capture Atomic Rex so that the nuclear therapod may fight in the arena!

Atomic Rex: Ball of Bravura
Book 5
Prior to the kaiju leaving the microcontinent on which they were spawned, several countries laid claim to the newly discovered landmass. In an effort to gain control of the island, two superpowers sent their newest weapons of war in the form of giant mechs into the area. These prototype mechs were piloted by humans and were able to greatly enhance the soldiers' capabilities on the battlefield. When the two forces came into conflict, their battle awakened the True Kaiju whom the world would come to know as Atomic Rex! The nuclear nightmare laid waste to all but two of these early mech models, before beginning his domination of the western hemisphere.
Twenty years later, these two survivors still roam the Earth, in mech suits that are not as advanced as the newer models the True Kaiju destroyed. One of these men is the pilot of Atlus: Codenman; Bravura. He seeks both purpose and direction to his life as he survives in a world dominated by monsters. The other warrior intends to use his mech to slay the two beings on the planet who have managed to best him in combat: Atomic Rex and Bravura’s pilot.
As these two men are moving toward each other, Chris Myers is teaching his daughter Emily how to operate Steel Samurai 2.0. Chris knows that the burden of leadership is shifting from him and his wife to their daughter, and he is actively training her for that role. Bravura, Steel Samurai 2.0, the vengeance-seeking mech pilot, Atomic Rex, and a mixed band of marauders and mutants will all meet up in an explosive confrontation near a human settlement in Mexico, as the Ballad of Bravura begins.

When Gil learned about Augustine, the young man sought to protect his loved ones by making a deal to have Atomic Rex removed from Earth forever. Despite his good intentions, Gil has unleashed a terror on the world that is far greater than the True Kaiju.
