and you're getting close.
After a homicidal alien from Orion arrives on Earth intent on annihilating human life, the 21st century's
greatest sorcerers create a network of seven Oz-like city worlds designed to harbor the human race
in a newly formed utopia while also protecting it from the alien entity. But the alien is far more magically
powerful than anyone suspected. Piper Robbin, ancient daughter of the Earth's greatest sorcerer
inventor, Edison Godfellow, must sacrifice all to defeat the implacable force that calls itself
"The Witch Queen of Oz," and quickly, before Earth becomes only a cold cinder floating among the
stars.

EXCERPT
PIPER ROBBIN WAS HELPLESS. WORLD WAR OZ had exploded up and down the Pacific
Coast following the dramatic ejaculation of Pentagon armor, Deplorables, and tripods from the
Mojave base. Nothing could stop it. Given the prevalence of strong EMP deployment on both sides,
nearly the entire western U.S. remained immune to virtually any type of destructive or useful Tao
wavelength, magic or no. Thus the New Humanity Fleet, the Shadow Broker mages,
the Dio Soldati brigades, and other magi-tech combat units were severely hand tied.

A grim reality faced the forces of Oz.
The Witch Queen was winning.
The U.S. Army, prodded by her phony Galaxians, pursued Oz and Martian “sympathizers,”
while California, deemed a hive of rabid discontent, became a primary target for retaliation.
Several million human beings from Sonoma Valley in the north to San Diego in the south were
potentially at the mercy of rampaging war machines and flocks of Deplorables wielding blades.
The east coast too was in flames, the Atlantic surf red with blood down to South Carolina.
