A reading buddy asked me if there will ever be a cyborg story set on Earth.
That COULD happen. I never say never. Whenever I do that, I’m usually presented with a story idea the very next day. (laughs)
But the probability is low.
Why?
Because the cyborgs were manufactured to fight the Humanoid Alliance’s (i.e. the humans’) wars against mostly non-human species. The majority of beings on Earth are humans.
And because most of the cyborgs were stationed far away from Earth. The Humanoid Alliance benefited from the physical distance between the less loyal humans (i.e. those not in deep with the Humanoid Alliance) and the cyborgs. The less beings knew about cyborgs, the less likely they were to figure out cyborgs are living, feeling beings, not emotionless weapons of war.
The Humanoid Alliance wanted to separate the majority of humans from the majority of cyborgs. The cyborgs would need a strong incentive to bridge that distance.

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.
