Throwback Thursday – Dominance And Dissent
Dissent is a bad a$$ cyborg. He looks tough. He’s a skilled warrior.
And he has a softness for small defenseless creatures. (smiles)
Greer isn’t a small defenseless creature but she IS fighting to free herself from some terrible beings. And she’s Dissent’s genetic match. His protectiveness is thrown into overdrive around her.
And the baby creature they adopt as their own.
Dominance And Dissent
To earn the love of his curvy human, this cyborg will have to set her free.
***
Dissent has one primary mission—to find his female and protect her.
He doesn’t know who she is, where she’s situated, or what she looks like. That doesn’t stop him from searching the universe for her. He’s a cyborg and he’s determined. He WILL track her down.
While the J Model warrior is exploring a settlement on a merchant planet, he hears a defiant scream. Dissent has finally located the one being he’s genetically compatible with. He rushes to his little human’s side, ready and willing to defend her, eager to claim his female…forever.
Greer has only one dream—to be free. She’s been a slave her entire lifespan, has been subjected to soul-crushing abuse and pride-shredding humiliation. When an opportunity to escape presents itself, she takes it. Steps away from independence, she’s apprehended.
As she looks death in the face, waiting for the final strike, a tall, handsome cyborg warrior saves her. He exudes power, makes her tremble with desire, is unlike any of the males she’s ever known…except in one heartbreaking way.
He wants to own her.
As Dissent and Greer battle for dominance, danger looms. An enemy from the past has returned. He’s heavily armed, he’s not alone, and his sole goal is to kill both of them.
***
Dominance And Dissent is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features an overprotective cyborg, a defiant slave, and a ravenous baby creature who is determined to eat his way through an entire settlement.

Throwback Thursday – Dominance And Dissent
One of the (many) things I love about Dominance And Dissent is Dissent’s relationship and love for Nibbler, the baby miljoonasuut he rescues from a vendor.
The average person wouldn’t view miljoonasuuts as lovable creatures. They are huge terrestrial crustaceans, similar to the tiny pill bugs/rollie pollies/potato bugs we have here on Earth.
Yet Dissent LOVES them.
Because Dissent loves almost all creatures (the Humanoid Alliance being one of the few exceptions). He has space in his huge cyborg heart for many entities.
Including, of course, Greer, his equally generous human female. He adores her, would trade his lifespan for hers with any hesitation.

Throwback Thursday – Dominance And Dissent
As the weather in my corner of the universe grows colder (shivers), my reading tends to skew toward romances set on hot planets. If you’re the same way, Dominance And Dissent might be the cyborg romance for it.
The story is set on a hot, dry planet. The planet has bustling marketplaces and settlements.
Dissent finds his genetic match in one of those marketplaces. While he’s seeking to free a creature from his cage, he hears a cry for help and he must answer it.
That decision will change his lifespan forever.

Throwback Thursday – Dominance And Dissent
Dissent, the cyborg hero of Dominance And Dissent, looks like a bada$$. And he can be one when that is required. But he also has a nurturing gentle side and an affinity for hard-to-love creatures.
His love for these creatures leads him to his fated mate. Greer is a fellow bada$$. She has escaped her cruel captors and desperately needs both sides of Dissent – the warrior and the nurturer.
These two are magical together. And the baby creature they ‘adopt’ is as adorable as they are.

Throwback Thursday – Dominance And Dissent
Cyborgs, after enduring many human lifespans of having to stifle their emotions, have a LOT of love to give. They lavish love on their females, their offspring, each other and other beings. Some, like Green, adore plants.
Dissent, the hero of Dominance And Dissent, adores angry little killer creatures called miljoonasuuts. They look like huge pill bugs. And they eat everything and everyone they encounter.
While Dissent is in the midst of saving one, he encounters another lifeform in need of assistance—Greer, the female destined to be his.

Throwback Thursday – Dominance And Dissent
We first meet Dissent, the hero of Dominance And Dissent, in Seeking Vector. In the beginning of that story, he is on the verge of losing control. He plans to strike back at his cruel manufacturers, an act that has a 100.0000 percent probability of getting him killed.
Kasia, Vector’s female, tells him he can’t do that. He has to stay strong for his female, whoever and wherever she is. He has to live, has to protect her.
Since that moment, he has been searching for his female. His primary goal is to find her and safeguard her.
In Dominance And Dissent, Dissent finally locates her. His female is strong but she DOES need his protection. Kasia’s words end up being the absolute truth.

Giving Back To Science
I rely heavily on the work and research of scientists in order to craft my stories. Many of these generous, wonderful people refuse to be compensated for their insights and their knowledge. They are helping SciFi Romance Writers because they love science and because they are giving, caring beings.
I tend to ‘sneakily’ give back to scientists by making donations to their favorite charities. I also donate a small portion of my book sales to ongoing science-based projects such as coral reef restoration and tree planting.
To date, for example, donations from the sales of my books have been responsible for the planting of approximately 253 coral fragments. We have also funded the planting of 450 trees around the world.
I feel it is important that you know SciFi Romance Writers give back to the scientists who supply us with so many awesome sources of information and inspiration. By reading our books, you’re helping to make the world and the universe a better and more ‘known’ place.

Dominance And Dissent – The Fourth Scene Of The First Chapter
Dominance And Dissent, the next story in the Cyborg Space Exploration series, will be releasing on November 12th.
If you wish to read the first scene from the first chapter, you can find it here: http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=7005
Today, I’m sharing the fourth and final scene in the first chapter.
“I will fight you.” Hope buoyed the offspring’s defiant words. “I will devour you. There will be nothing left except your bones.”
Cyborgs didn’t have bones. They had metal frames.
Dissent ignored the little one’s threats. I require use of one of the shuttle crafts. He added an image of the miljoonasuut to his transmission to North and Truth.
Captain will not allow that creature on the Reckless. North stated a fact he already knew.
Captain was protective of his crew, his female, his offspring. He wouldn’t authorize a skilled predator to board the warship.
And Dissent would never place them at risk like that.
That’s why I require use of one of the shuttle crafts. He formed a plan. I’ll transport the miljoonasuut to Khambalia 5 directly. The offspring won’t board the Reckless.
“This bastard might be small.” A heavily scarred and repugnantly smelly Deneb removed the fabric from the miljoonasuut’s cage. “But it is a killing machine.”
His tone was similar to those the humans had utilized when they had tortured him. It contained glee and malice.
Dissent didn’t straighten, didn’t turn his head toward the male. The offspring was his focus.
“We were attacked by a full-grown one when we landed on its planet.” The Deneb continued to yammer. “That big bastard devoured six of my males, ate two of my fingers.” He held up one of his hands, showing Dissent the stubs. “It took a missile launcher to down it. These bastards might be tough on the outside, but they’re soft on the inside. There was goo everywhere.”
The humanoid laughed at a joke Dissent found no humor in.
The creature the Deneb had blasted must have been the offspring’s father. Anger built within him. The fully grown miljoonasuut had been trying to protect his young, had lost his life in the process. He deserved respect, not ridicule.
“The cold brightness has returned.” The offspring attempted to hide his eyes. “I will defeat it.”
“Put the cloth back.” Dissent frowned at the little creature. “You’re damaging him.”
“It’s mine to damage.” The Deneb shrugged. “Unless you wish to purchase it.” He extracted a handheld from a holster. “That will cost you one hundred thousand credits.”
That was the price of a used shuttle craft. But it was ridiculously low for a life.
“I’ll buy it.” He was grateful the miljoonasuut didn’t understand the universal language, didn’t realize he was being purchased as one might purchase a gun or a garment…or a cyborg. “Put the cloth back.”
“I have to see the credits first.”
The Deneb wanted to torture the creature. Dissent heard that in his voice.
“It is a large amount and—”
Dissent lifted the male and slammed him against the side of the stall.
The Deneb gasped.
Dissent brought his face close to the male’s. “You. Will. Put. The. Cloth. Back.” He said that between gritted teeth.
The male’s gaze lowered to the letter and number inked on Dissent’s left cheek. “Cyborg.” His face turned a darker shade of green.
If you kill him, his kind might seek revenge. Truth appeared by Dissent’s side. That will put our females in danger.
Dissent would never do that. “I am a cyborg.” He glared at the Deneb. “And the creatures on Khambalia 5 are under my protection. If you land on that planet again, I will hear about it and I will hunt you down. There is nowhere in the universe you can hide from me, and when I catch you, I will kill you…slowly, painfully. You’ll wish for death long before I grant you that peace.”
“Won’t. Land. There.” The Deneb’s eyes were wide with fear. “Ever. Again.” Liquid splattered on the pebbles by his booted feet.
The scent of urine tainted the air.
He has received your message, J Model. Truth transmitted dryly. Let him go.
Dissent reluctantly lowered the male until his boots touched the ground. “I’m transferring one hundred thousand and ten credits to your account.” He unhooked a handheld from his waistband and bumped it against the male’s device, making the connection. “I’m taking the cage and the cloth also.”
“Yes, sir.” The male hurriedly placed the cloth over the cage.
The miljoonasuut’s sounds of anger stopped. That eased some of Dissent’s own fury.
You can’t protect every creature in the sector, J Model. Truth shook his head.
I can protect this creature. Dissent lifted the cage containing the offspring. “Are you hungry, Nibbler?” He switched to the miljoonasuut’s language.
Nibbler? Truth groaned. You’ve named it?
He hadn’t viewed it to be the offspring’s name. But it did suit him. And miljoonasuuts, being solitary creatures, didn’t give themselves names.
“I will call you Nibbler.” Dissent held the cage higher. “You’ll be safe with me.”
The delay in finding his not-yet-identified female concerned him. Greatly. But she had survived until now without him. There was an 87.2695 percent probability she could survive for a few more planet rotations on her own.
During the interval, he would have a little creature to care for, to protect.
To love.
His chest expanded with happiness. His soul filled with purpose.
“Fight me, two legs.”
The offspring would battle his caring. The miljoonasuut was determined to view him as an enemy.
That was proof of Nibbler’s intelligence. Humans and humanoids weren’t to be trusted and that’s how the creature viewed him—as a human or humanoid. The miljoonasuut had no knowledge of cyborgs.
“I will source nourishment.” Dissent assured the little creature, hoping to appease him.
He must be ravenous. Miljoonasuuts constantly ate, devouring everything in their path, and Nibbler was growing, would require more nourishment.
Dissent glanced around. “Where is the Deneb?” He didn’t see the male.
There’s a 94.5693 percent probability he’s hiding from you. Truth’s eyes glittered. Or he could be changing his ass coverings.
The humanoid couldn’t assist him.
We require nourishment. He had a hungry offspring to feed.
When I passed Chuckles, en route to you, he was sourcing fruit for his female. Truth waved in what Dissent projected was the warrior’s direction.
Then we will source fruit also. He hefted the cage and carried a grumbling Nibbler toward Chuckles’ location.
Miljoonasuuts could chew through metals and wood and many other materials but they must not find the stone edible. Nibbler pushed against the confines of the cage yet couldn’t escape it.
I’m returning to Khambalia 5 with you. Truth walked with Dissent, matching his stride. I love that fraggin’ planet.
You love exploring. That his friend would temporarily give that up for him impacted Dissent’s emotional system.
I love many things. The D Model shrugged. If we complete this mission before we leave, I’m 84.5696 percent certain Captain will wait for us. He won’t land on another planet until we return.
We’ll complete this mission before we leave. Dissent would honor that commitment.
Good because, if we don’t, North will implode. Truth grinned.
I’ve surveyed 3.2369 percent of my terrain. North barked through a public transmission line. What is your status, warriors?
Truth exchanged a meaning-laden look with Dissent and they both laughed.

While the J Model warrior is exploring a settlement on a merchant planet, he hears a defiant scream. Dissent has finally located the one being he’s genetically compatible with. He rushes to his little human’s side, ready and willing to defend her, eager to claim his female…forever.
Greer has only one dream—to be free. She’s been a slave her entire lifespan, has been subjected to soul-crushing abuse and pride-shredding humiliation. When an opportunity to escape presents itself, she takes it. Steps away from independence, she’s apprehended.
As she looks death in the face, waiting for the final strike, a tall, handsome cyborg warrior saves her. He exudes power, makes her tremble with desire, is unlike any of the males she’s ever known…except in one heartbreaking way.
He wants to own her.
As Dissent and Greer battle for dominance, danger looms. An enemy from the past has returned. He’s heavily armed, he’s not alone, and his sole goal is to kill both of them.

Dominance And Dissent – The Third Scene Of The First Chapter
Dominance And Dissent, the next story in the Cyborg Space Exploration series, will be releasing on November 12th.
If you wish to read the first scene from the first chapter, you can find it here: http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=7005
Today, I’m sharing the third scene.
Dissent walked toward the section of the settlement designated to him. As he moved, he skimmed his fingertips over the arms of the beings he passed. The sensors attached to his skin gathered the beings’ genetic information, storing it in his databases.
He navigated through a busy market. The display of stones would interest Chuckles’ female. He transmitted that observation to the warrior. The thick garments would suit Doc’s glowing Khambalian. He transmitted that also.
There were weapons to please any warrior. The scents of tasty nourishment mixed with the stench of uncleansed humanoid forms. Pebbles crunched under the heels of his boots. The heat of the planet’s sun warmed his shoulders.
A sound captured his attention. It was a peculiar rattling like that of…
A furious miljoonasuut shaking its segmented exoskeleton.
Gnaw.
His processors relayed it couldn’t be the creature he’d befriended. The miljoonasuut was on Khambalia 5, where he’d left him.
His less logical humanoid side whispered that it was his miljoonasuut. And he was in danger, could be damaged. His friend needed his help.
Dissent rushed in the direction of the rattling, weaving between humans and humanoids. His heart pounded. Energy coursed through his circuits.
Creatures in enclosures screeched, begging to be freed. They had been cruelly collected from planets across the universe, torn from their homes, separated from their families, from everything they knew.
He wanted to save them all.
First, he would find the miljoonasuut.
The creature should be at his current coordinates, according to his auditory system. He skidded to a stop and scanned the horizontal support, quickly locating what he sought.
A miljoonasuut was contained in a stone cage. He wasn’t Gnaw. He was much smaller than Dissent’s friend, was only the size of a human’s skull.
Yet the creature, an offspring, was powerful in his outrage, clicking together the numerous deadly teeth he sported on his underside. He threatened to battle the brightness, to kill every being he saw, including his would-be rescuer.
Dissent had been incorrect about the settlement holding few threats. If the little creature freed himself, he could devour half of its residents before they were able to escape him.
That was yet another reason Gnaw couldn’t leave his home planet. Dissent’s lips curled upward. Miljoonasuuts, like cyborgs, were effective killers.
“Calm yourself, Nibbler.” He produced the clicking and rattling sounds needed to communicate with the offspring. “You’re safe.”
He wouldn’t allow anyone to damage the creature.
“I will fight the cold brightness.” The offspring wriggled his thousands of legs, trying to cover his sensitive eyes. “And I will fight you, two legs.”
Khambalia 5, the miljoonasuut’s home planet, was dimly lit. The increase in illumination, combined with the decrease in temperature, damaged the little creature.
“I’ll fight the cold brightness for you.” Dissent grabbed a square of fabric that had been set on the horizontal support and draped it over the offspring’s cage. “I am a friend, not an enemy.”
“You are a two legs.” The offspring grabbed a corner of the cloth, pulled it into the cage and promptly devoured it, stuffing the fabric into the multiple mouths located on its underside. “You are all my enemies.”
Gnaw held the same belief when they’d first met. Many humans and humanoids had been cruel to the miljoonasuut and to other creatures on Khambalia 5.
“The covering cloth isn’t for eating.” Dissent located another one. “It is to fight the cold brightness.” He blocked the light once again. “Don’t touch it.”
“I’m not listening to you.” The little creature didn’t eat the fabric, his actions belying his rebellious words. “You took me away from my father and now you must die. Come into the darkness so I can fight you.”
The offspring would have been in the care of his father. He had too few solar cycles to survive on his own.
Dissent looked around them. There were no signs of another miljoonasuut. “Where is your father, Nibbler?”
“He is fighting the two legs.” Pride edged the offspring’s clicks. “The two legs came to our home. They brought the brightness with them. Father told me to hide but I didn’t hide good enough. The two legs got me and then everything was bright all the time and I don’t know where my father is. I—” He abruptly stopped communicating.
Nibbler was sad and scared, though the feisty creature would never admit to that. Bending over, Dissent situated his face level with the cage. “I’ll take you back home and help you find your father.”
As the words left his lips, he realized what he’d vowed. To help the miljoonasuut, he would have to temporarily pause his mission to find his female.
He would be leaving her unprotected for that additional duration.
But he couldn’t abandon the little creature on Altair Alpha. The miljoonasuut could be damaged…or worse.
