In Testing Truth (releasing on September 15th), the cyborgs are assigned to explore Nereid Negative One. This is a small outpost planet. Ships stop there for emergency supplies and repairs. Very few beings live on Nereid Negative One permanently. It is covered with gray ash and isn’t a nice place.
As Dissent shares, “The planet is named Nereid Negative One because the first being who stepped upon its surface claimed zero was too generous a designation for it.”
He also adds, “One traveler called Nereid Negative One the place dreams go to die.”
(grins) It isn’t a pleasant place but it IS situated in the cyborg-controlled sector. According to Power’s mandate, they have to explore it.
Normally, the planets in my stories are named after stars. Nereid Negative One, being such a…well…unimpressive planet, is named after Nereid, Jupiter’s third largest moon. Nereid is notable for having the strangest orbit of all Jupiter’s moons and having ice on its surface.

Testing Truth
A fun-loving cyborg gets serious about love.
***
Truth lives each moment as though it were his last. The cyborg warrior rushes into danger, teases beings he shouldn’t provoke, accepts every call of adventure he encounters.
When a prissy little human princess floats into the Rebel structure Truth is occupying, seeking a mercenary to assist her and her unusual entourage, he volunteers to be her warrior. She claims their assignment is dangerous, warns him he might not survive the task.
That is exactly the type of fun he has been seeking.
Princess Nanette of the planet Royaume must rescue her estranged brother from an enemy prison ship. That is her duty, and she has been trained to always place the needs of her planet and her subjects before her own. Nancy doesn’t have the freedom to indulge her passions for a certain dark-haired, gray-skinned cyborg. Not permanently and not publicly.
But she is unable to resist the warrior. Truth, with his laughing eyes, smiling lips, and rough hands, tempts her as no one else ever has. He could be her one fleeting act of rebellion before she’s matched with the powerful ruler her planet requires.
If they survive their current mission.
Their love is doomed. Their lifespans are at risk. This cyborg and his princess will need the help of every ally they have if they wish to see another sunrise.
