In fairy tales (which I LOVE), the good beings are often clearly good and the bad beings are often clearly bad. The Princess never harms good beings and the Wicked Witch never helps good beings. Their roles are clear. We usually know which characters to cheer for.
The stories in the cyborg series, including Testing Truth, aren’t fairy tales. (grins) Nancy, the heroine of Testing Truth, might be a Princess but she harms some good beings (Were the Rebels in the beverage outlet good? They are fighting for the ‘good’ side.). Truth, our cyborg hero, loves to kill beings and he’s not too fussy about who he kills.
The Humanoid Alliance are the big baddies in the series yet many of the heroines were once aligned (sometimes unwillingly, sometimes out of lack of knowledge) with the Humanoid Alliance. Joan, the heroine of Releasing Rage, worked for them as an engineer.
There are random minor characters who are aligned with the Humanoid Alliance and do the right thing also—looking the other way when beings escape, refusing to fight for them, walking away from situations they don’t fully support.
No one is all good. No one is all bad.
(grins) Beings are complicated.

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.
