Releasing Rage – Glued To This New Series
Yay! We have another great review for Releasing Rage.
This review is even more special because it comes from a non-SciFi reader!
Allisia at Defying Tradition shares
“This is the first SciFi cyborg book I have ever read. Truth be told when I first read the description I laughed and said, “nope, not for me.””
“I was laughing at myself because here was a book I didn’t think I would ever be interested in and I couldn’t put it down.”

Half Man. Half Machine. All Hers.
Rage, the Humanoid Alliance’s most primitive cyborg, has two goals—kill all of the humans on his battle station and escape to the Homeland. The warrior has seen the darkness in others and in himself. He believes that’s all he’s been programmed to experience.
Until he meets Joan.
Joan, the battle station’s first female engineer, has one goal—survive long enough to help the big sexy cyborg plotting to kill her. Rage might not trust her but he wants her. She sees the passion in his eyes, the caring in his battle-worn hands, the gruff emotion in his voice.
When Joan survives the unthinkable, Rage’s priorities are tested. Is there enough room in this cyborg’s heart for both love and revenge?

Releasing Rage – The Mantidae
In Releasing Rage, the cyborgs are ordered to fight the Mantidae, huge insect-like creatures that are in the midst of migrating to their breeding planets. Unfortunately, their migration leads them through Humanoid Alliance-controlled space. Some of the planets they normally swarm and feed from are now inhabited by humans. The Mantidae view humans as simply another food source.
Mantidae resemble human-sized praying mantis (mantidae is the family name for the species). They have razor-sharp raptorial forelegs. Mantidae prefer to eat their prey alive but if the prey struggles (as humans tend to do when faced with a giant insect intent on devouring them), they use these forelegs like scissors to cut their prey into two. Yes. (grimaces) It is a gruesome death.
Earth mantises also prefer to eat their prey alive and the larger a mantis grows, the larger the prey it hunts. Small mantises devour other insects. Large mantises can eat scorpions, birds, snakes, and rodents. They aren’t predators to be messed with!
Could creatures like the Mantidae exist?
Of course. On Earth, there are 200 million insects for every human. If there are humanoids spread throughout the universe, these humanoids being different sizes, colors, having different features, it is logical that there are insects spread throughout the universe and that some of these insects could be as large or larger than humans with corresponding appetites.
Are the Mantidae the ‘bad guys’?
Calling the Mantidae the enemy would be like calling a shark the enemy. They’re not deliberately trying to harm humans. Their goal is to reach their breeding planets. They need food to fuel their trip. Humans are living on the planets they use as ‘rest stops.’ So the Mantidae eat them.
I’m not pro-Mantidae (they’re giant scary bugs) but I understand why they’re killing humans.

Why I Think Warrior Heroes Are Sexy
Today, on Kate Hill ‘s awesome blog, I’m talking about why warriors are so freakin’ sexy!
http://kate-hill.com/blog/?p=5360
Here’s a snippet…
This is the release week for Releasing Rage, my latest sizzling hot SciFi erotic romance! Releasing Rage features a hunky cyborg warrior (named, surprise, surprise, Rage). I love, love, LOVE warrior heroes.
Why?
Because warriors are willing to die for something—a homeland or an ideology or beings they’re seeking to protect or other important things I can’t think about right now. That type of passion is sexy, can be infectious and is bound to add conflict to any delicious erotic romance.

Talking Cyborgs With Delilah Devlin
I’m talking cyborgs at Delilah Devlin’s online home today.
http://www.delilahdevlin.com/blog/2015/08/19/cynthia-sax-releasing-rage-and-why-cyborgs-are-sexy/
Here is a snippet…
Releasing Rage releases today! Woot! I’m super excited about this SciFi erotic romance, especially as it features a sizzling hot cyborg hero. I’ve written android heroes, clone heroes, but I’ve always wanted to write a cyborg hero.
Why?
Because cyborgs are half man, half machine. They’re torn between their emotion-driven human side and their logic-driven mechanic side. Yes, their mere existence is conflicted. My cyborgs have both a brain and processors. Often these two tell them different things.

Talking Self-Publishing On CJ England’s Blog
On CJ England’s blog, I’m talking about Releasing Rage and why I decided to self-publish this sexy cyborg erotic romance.
Here’s a snippet…
“I now have total control over my SciFi series, how many books I’ll release in it, and if I use these characters in other series (even series that I contract with publishers). I can also write stories that large publishers would shy away from (Releasing Rage is very dark). I LOVE this.
Yes, I will publish through established publishers in the future but now that I’ve had a taste of self-publishing, I plan to explore that route also. It is an exciting time for writers and for readers. We have so many choices!”

Sex Tapes
In One Night With My Billionaire Master, there’s a sex tape ‘scandal.’
Twenty-seven years ago, simply having a sex tape would have been a scandal. In 1988, Rob Lowe’s sex tape severely damaged his career. He was recorded having sex with two women (both of legal age, one girl was 16 but that was the legal age of consent in that state) in a nightclub. It was a scandal. He lost roles because of it. If the actor had been anyone other than Rob Lowe, I don’t know if his career would have survived.
Jump forward to today and sex tapes are ‘trendy’. They’re considered a possible stepping-stone to fame and fortune. Kim Kardashian’s ‘leaked’ sex tape in 2007 was instrumental in making her a household name. It led to her and her family being offered their first reality TV show. They’ve leveraged that sex tape (which is no longer a tape but simply a recording) into an empire.
If the couple in One Night With My Billionaire Master had been different, their sex tape would have been a one week wonder with no lasting repercussions. But Arianna’s father has made it clear what he’d do if he EVER found out she was having sex with ANYONE. He also hates Logan Ross with a fiery passion.
What is your feeling on sex tapes? Are they still scandalous?

Note: If you purchased Mastered 2, you already have this story.
One night. No one must know.
This is the text I sent Logan Ross this morning. The billionaire financier is my father’s number one nemesis and has been pursuing me for months. He wants to own me, completely, promising exquisite pleasure balanced by equally intense pain, vowing to dominate me, to show me wicked things a virgin like myself shouldn’t be interested in.
But I am extremely interested, and I’ll risk everything—my job, my family, my future—to experience one night of total submission with this powerful Dom.
Will one night be enough for both of us?

The Evolution Of Cyborgs
Note: This post will be amended as the series matures (i.e. we’ll only talk about models that we’ve met).
In Releasing Rage, we were introduced to a variety of cyborgs. Cyborgs are half human so every unit is different. However, models have common characteristics.
The first cyborgs were human warriors who had been injured and were ‘fixed’ with mechanic parts. A computer was also added (because, hey, why not build one in?). These parts became more and more complex and pervasive. These cyborgs didn’t have model numbers. They had names.
A and B Model Cyborgs
When the Humanoid Alliance started manufacturing cyborgs, they viewed them as merely war machines. What these cyborgs looked like was low on the priority list. There was also fear in the general public that these cyborgs would infiltrate human populations and gradually take over.
So the Humanoid Alliance designed them to be clearly cyborg. The first mass produced units were big and bulky, more robotic than human. Their eyes resembled lights. Their skin was gray. They were given a model letter (which was the version) and a unit number (which was the order the cyborg was produced). This was tattooed under their right eyes.
A000001 was the very first mass produced cyborg. A000002 was the second. Etc.
As far as I know, no A and B model cyborgs continue to exist. They’ve all been decommissioned.
C Model Cyborgs
The huge A and B model cyborgs created a storage and transport nightmare. C models were smaller (yet still larger than humans).
Again, their focus was fighting. Their communication skills aren’t as smooth as a human’s. They have electric blue eyes, gray skin. Their frames are metal. They have both processors (multiple) and a human brain (single). Their nanocybotics allow them to self heal. They have a high pain tolerance yet still feel wounds. They have the ability to transmit privately over a secured line so they can communicate during battle without the enemy being aware of their conversations. They’re fast and strong and skilled warriors.
C model cyborgs were the last cyborgs to be used in the breeding programs.
Rage, the hero of Releasing Rage, is a C model cyborg. There aren’t very many of them left.
E Model Cyborgs
Cyborgs became smaller, more compact yet they retained the strength and speed of their predecessors. The Humanoid Alliance started to consider them for other roles. Perhaps, in the future, the cyborgs could be used as spies or sent in to negotiate on human’s behalf or become bodyguards for high ranked council members.
Scientists experimented with eye colors. With the E Model, their attempts went horribly wrong. The units’ eyes were a disturbing matte black.
E Models still have the gray skin common to cyborgs. They’re more technologically advanced than previous models.
Crash, in Releasing Rage and Crash and Burn, is an E model cyborg.
G Model Cyborgs
Except for the gray skin and the model number tattooed under the right eye, a G model cyborg looks human. G models all have pale gray eyes and normally dark hair, giving them a monochrome appearance.
Gap, in Releasing Rage, is a G model cyborg.
K Model Cyborgs
K models are the most advanced cyborgs ever created. Except for the model numbers tattooed under their right eyes, they resemble (large!) human males.
With the failure of the breeding programs and generations of humans having grown up knowing of cyborgs, there’s no longer a fear that cyborgs will take over and dispose of humans. Humans believe cyborgs are fully under their control, that they are weapons that won’t be used unless humans order them to be deployed.
K model cyborgs usually have dark hair and tanned skin as that allows them to better hide in the shadows. They have all of the skills of previous models and more. There are few locked doors they can’t access, few communications they can’t intercept, few enemies they can’t defeat.
As Mira, the heroine of Breathing Vapor, says the Humanoid Alliance might have made cyborgs too advanced.
Vapor, the hero of Breathing Vapor, is a K model cyborg.
