Communications Outages And Alien Invasions

By Cynthia Sax on July 22, 2022

Recently, a communications company (Rogers) in Canada had a service outage. Mobile/Cell phones, internet, some landlines didn’t work.

My first thought was – we’re having an alien invasion. (grins)

Because the first thing an invader here on Earth does is knock out communication channels. This causes chaos. It stops sharing of information and strategies. It makes it nearly impossible for the locals to coordinate their defenses.

This is why this plot point in movies, books, etc are used again and again.

It works.

Provoking Odium

A Beautiful Cyborg

While accompanying his leader on a mission, Odium, an E Model cyborg, hears a distress call over the communication lines. The voice on that message makes his circuits surge with energy and all his systems light up. He has to respond to the mysterious female, would risk his lifespan and the lifespans of everyone on board their ship to protect her.

A Human Female Others Call Beast

Briella gained her nickname due to her flying abilities, her fearlessness, and her scarred countenance. Her verbal-only relationship with the sexy cyborg who answers her distress call is a steamy yet short-lived fantasy. His kind is physically perfect, and she is…not. He will uncover that truth when…if they survive the attack upon her freighter.


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

It features a human female intent on remaining mysterious, a cyborg warrior determined to uncover her identity, and an enemy seeking to destroy them both before they have the opportunity to meet.
