Taste of Cyn

In Taking Vengeance, Astrid, our heroine, strings tripwires between trees. This is one of her many defenses on the planet. She’s hoping if she’s attacked, the enemy will run between the trees, set off the explosives and blow themselves up. She’d eliminate the enemy AND be warned she was in danger.

In almost every alien invasion movie, we see the hero or heroine running into the woods to hide from the invaders. The thinking is it would be more difficult for the enemy to find him/her. The enemy couldn’t spot the hero/heroine easily from their ships in the sky or see him/her through the trees on the ground.

The reality is the forest is a dangerous place to be in wartime, even if the enemy is human. The enemy knows that is where we tend to hide and they usually have countermeasures in place.

In Underfire: The Untold Story of Pfc. Tony Vaccaro ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5254612/ ), the WWII veteran and photographer tells viewers how the Germans would deliberately hit the top of trees with shells. This natural shrapnel would rain down on soldiers. The small fragments “would go right through you.” The soldiers would be shredded instantly.

That’s one very simple yet effective way to flush opponents out from forests. Aliens would likely have more sophisticated methods (and likely also have lifeform scanners).

During an alien invasion, stay away from the forest. (grins)

Taking Vengeance

The only force stronger than their hate is their love.

Vengeance hates all humans. They killed every being he ever cared about. When the huge C Model cyborg is told he’s genetically compatible with the enemy, he makes it his mission to capture the female and use her to expel all humans from his home planet. That should be disappointingly easy. She’s a weak, fragile human.

Then she blows up his ship, blasting to bits his preconceived notions about the enemy.

Astrid, aka the Buoir Berserker, hates all cyborgs. They killed her entire clan, including her baby sister. The warrior female has vowed to hunt down and destroy the enemy. When a savage cyborg arrogantly puts his hard, sexy body within her reach, she does the only thing a female can do—she peppers his muscular physique with projectiles.

The more passionately they fight, the stronger their attraction becomes. Neither of them will relent on their missions, yet they can’t keep their hands off each other. Their battle will either end in love to last an eternity or in death.

Taking Vengeance is Book 12 in the Cyborg Sizzle series and is a STAND-ALONE story.
It is also an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, often violent universe.
