Throwback Thursday – B Free

By Cynthia Sax on June 11, 2026

B believes he’s the last living B Model cyborg.

He’s huge. He’s more mechanical looking than the other cyborgs. He thinks differently.

And he very much wants to find someone like him.

When he uncovers a possibility there might be a second B Model still alive, he investigates.

And he finds a human female researcher, a space archaeologist who might, just might give him the sense of belonging he has been craving.

Oh and he also finds zombies, lots and lots of flesh-eating zombies.

(grins)


B Free

B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.

Or so he believes.

When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.

What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.

Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.

When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.

She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.

Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.

Throwback Thursday – Baring Grudge

By Cynthia Sax on June 4, 2026

I love explosions (in books)! Big Badda Boom! They are glorious.

And in Baring Grudge, both the cyborg hero and the human heroine love them also. Explosives are their specialties and together, these two ARE explosive.

(grins)


Baring Grudge

No one in the universe is more determined than a cyborg warrior tracking his female.

***

Grudge, a C Model cyborg, has been assigned a mission – safeguard a Humanoid Alliance space station for his kind. Honor was once all he had, and he is determined to fulfill his duty.

That resolve is tested when a tiny human female enters the space station and sets the prettiest little explosives the warrior has ever seen. She is Grudge’s genetic match, the one being manufactured for him. He wants to touch her, kiss her, claim her in all ways, but first he has to stop her from blasting him into the next galaxy.

Taelyn has a self-appointed mission—to destroy every battle robot the Humanoid Alliance has ever manufactured. A huge gray-skinned, blue-eyed cyborg warrior with mismatched arms won’t prevent her from achieving her goal. She’ll escape him, leaving destruction in her wake.

Before she departs, she’ll experience one toe-curling moment of hatred-edged passion with her handsome foe. She’ll show him how skilled with detonations she truly is. He will have his universe rocked.

Then she’ll disappear.

Her cyborg, however, has no intention of ever letting her go.

***

Baring Grudge is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a determined, damaged warrior, an equally resolute human female, and an explosive game of predator and prey played across galaxies.

Baring Grudge is the third of five core stories in the Rebel Cyborgs Series.

Throwback Thursday – Under Strain

By Cynthia Sax on May 28, 2026

Under Strain is set on a super cool DINOSAUR planet.

I LOVE dinosaurs!

(smiles)

And I love Strain and Kamyelle.

Kamyelle, a small human female, is determined to rescue Strain, a huge cyborg warrior, not knowing he doesn’t want or need to be rescued.

Physically.

He very much needs rescuing in another way.

Under Strain

A damaged cyborg warrior is hunted by a peace-loving human female.

***

Strain is severely malfunctioning. The D Model cyborg was the sole survivor after a horrific decision was made by his cruel manufacturers. He hates all humans, and when he attacks one who is under his cyborg leader’s protection, he is reprimanded, stripped of his weapons, and told to watch and not actively participate in the next mission.

That mission takes place on a small remote planet. Its lush terrain should only be inhabited by the cyborgs they were sent to rescue, but Strain senses another presence on the surface. She is watching him, tracking him, hunting him.

A fully operational cyborg would end her lifespan.

Strain wants to claim her. Forever.

Kamyelle is the only one left of her kind. Warriors have killed the other nonviolent human inhabitants of her planet. She survived…barely…by hiding in the trees, observing her enemies, and covering herself with lifeform scan-concealing mud.

When a handsome, gray-skinned, brilliant-blue-eyed male arrives, surrounded by weapon-carrying warriors, she has to save him. Warriors harm and they kill. That is what they do.

She won’t allow them to hurt Strain.

***

Under Strain is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a broken warrior, a human female who thinks he’s perfect, and velociraptor-like dinosaurs who view them both as light, tasty snacks.

Throwback Thursday – Containing Malice

By Cynthia Sax on May 21, 2026

If you loved Releasing Rage (tackle hugs), you will likely enjoy Containing Malice. They are very similar stories.

Because Malice has been locked in an underground laboratory for years. He has been experimented on, tortured, tested, and he doesn’t realize many of his brethren are free. He doesn’t realize cyborgs have genetic matches, beings they are destined to love and protect, and that there’s a possibility for offspring.

He doesn’t have hope.

All he has is a desire for vengeance.

Containing Malice

This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.

***

Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.

His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.

He wants her. He also seeks retribution.

Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.

Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.

The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.

Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.

***

Containing Malice is a STANDALONE enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It is the first of five core stories in the Rebel Cyborgs Series.

Throwback Thursday – Testing Truth

By Cynthia Sax on May 14, 2026

I think of Testing Truth as my fairytale cyborg romance.

The human heroine is a princess. The cyborg hero is her dedicated (though rarely serious) warrior champion.

There’s a quest. And adventure. Love and, of course, the romantic happy ending.

(smiles)

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.

Cyborg Valentine’s Day Wishes

By Cynthia Sax on February 14, 2026

In the past, I’ve asked the cyborgs, the modified humanoids and the Chameles if they wished to share Valentine’s Day poems with you.

They didn’t quite understand the meaning of the holiday. (grins) But I thought you might enjoy their attempts.

Here’s one from Truth from Testing Truth…

Truth loves his human princess.

They share a link.

For her, he’d do anything

Even wear pink.

***

Here is an interesting one from Cadet from Seizing Power…

The universe is huge.  

The size of space is vast.

When Cadet meets Power,

She’ll kick his a$$.

***

This is from all of the cyborgs…

Roses Are Red.

Cyborgs Are Strong.

Choosing One As Your Warrior

Can Never Be Wrong.

***

And here’s a poem from Balvan from Dark Thoughts

Roses are red.

Gatekeepers are green.

Balvan is the biggest male

You have ever seen.

***

And Kralj from Dark Thoughts wrote a poem.

Roses are red.

Rulers don’t rhyme.

If you expect a poem from Kralj,

You’ll be waiting a long time.

***

Have a wonderful day, my friends!

Know that you are much loved.

Throwback Thursday – Defying Death

By Cynthia Sax on January 8, 2026

Cyborgs are assigned a model letter and number. They give themselves names.

The cyborg hero of Defying Death gave himself the rather grim name of Death.

Because that is how he perceives himself – as the bringer of death.

And that is all he ever expects to experience – seeing death, delivering death, his own death ultimately in battle.

Until he meets Tifara, a human medic determined to keep all those around her alive.

And to bring a heart-dead cyborg back to life.

Defying Death

He’ll risk it all for one moment of happiness.

Cyborgs don’t show emotion. Death learned that lesson early in his long lifespan. To survive, he hides his fierce passions behind a stoic wall. He calls no warrior friend. He never admits to caring for any being.

Even the human female he’s destined to love.

Tifara is Death’s obsession, his sole opportunity for happiness, to express the all-consuming passion burning brightly inside him. He’ll do anything to obtain the curvaceous medic: defy a direct order, abduct Tifara from her battle station, and wage war on his fellow cyborgs.

To earn her love, he’ll have to risk much, much more.

Assassin’s Haiku And Covers

By Cynthia Sax on December 12, 2025

The Dear Wonderful Hubby took the photo used on the cover of Assassin’s Haiku.

It is an image of a culvert that serves as a below ground road crossing between a restaurant (and the surrounding forest) and a beach.

The inside of it sported now faded images painted by school children.

And when I decided to re-release Assassin’s Haiku, I knew it was the perfect image for this story.

It could very much be the entrance to one of the secret spaces for children in this story.

(smiles)

Assassin’s Haiku

C.S. Sax

Twice a week, every week, Haiku sits beside Dante in the dimly-lit underground poetry bar. As they listen to the poets read, she basks in the warmth of her genetically-enhanced assassin’s body, and longs for the smack of large, leather-clad hands against bare skin. No other male, human or otherwise, makes her tremble like Dante can with one dark look.

Her heart, body and soul are his, if only he’d ask.

Dante won’t ask, because he knows a killer doesn’t deserve love. Instead, he sits in silent torment, watching Haiku, wanting Haiku, yet unable to touch her.

She is poetry and light, embodying all that he fights for, and when Agency operatives attack the bar, putting Haiku in danger, he must protect her. He takes her to the safest place on the planet, his underground bunker, and then realizes he has made a deadly mistake.

Haiku may now be safe, but Dante’s heart has been put in jeopardy.

Throwback Thursday – Crash And Burn

By Cynthia Sax on December 11, 2025

Crash And Burn is one of the emotionally toughest stories I’ve ever written.

It IS a romance, which means the main couple (or more) will earn their Romantic Happy Ever After. And my romances always have Romantic Happy EVER Afters. Past couples (or more) are always safe.

But everyone is at risk. And the cyborgs are at war.

Beings, even cyborgs, die in wars.

Crash was manufactured to be one of the best warriors in the universe. The cyborg has spent many human lifespans fighting the enemy. But, unlike his battle-loving brethren, he doesn’t enjoy killing. When he escapes the Humanoid Alliance, he vows to never end another life.

Then he meets Safyre, an infuriating human female, and he considers breaking his vow.

Safyre will do anything to save her friend, the being she loves like a sister. She’ll ravish a huge hunky cyborg, kiss his best friend, and invoke scorching hot desires the male never realized he could feel. Dark soulful eyes, a quick wit, and a tempestuous passion won’t divert her from her mission.

Love, and a planet-destroying weapon, however, might stop her permanently.

Assassin’s Haiku – If You Liked Releasing Rage

By Cynthia Sax on December 5, 2025

Assassin’s Haiku was written LONG before Releasing Rage and Breathing Vapor.

Yet I think if you liked those two stories, you’ll also like Assassin’s Haiku. The story is set on a futuristic dystopian Earth but it has the same gritty feel, the same Rebels vs the Fascists against-all-odds type of faceoff, the same…love.

(smiles)

Assassin’s Haiku is one of my favorite stories I’ve ever written.
