Intrepid Encounter And Intrepid

By Cynthia Sax on October 6, 2023

Intrepid is, of course, the hero of Intrepid Encounter. (grins)

We first met Intrepid in Releasing Rage.

YES. He has been waiting THAT long to find his genetic match. For solar cycles, he has watched other warriors find their beings.

During that time, he has been working hard, defending the cyborg sector from possible invaders. He helped to save Power’s lifespan. He has been busy.

But he has also been lonely. He hasn’t been in solitude. Intrepid has his crew, his friends (Rage is one of those friends), his brethren for company. But he has yearned for a being to call his own.

That being, unfortunately, is intent on killing him. (grins)

Intrepid Encounter
(This blurb is VERY rough.)

Cyborg vs. Valkyrie
Blood will be spilled and hearts will be stolen.

Intrepid and his crew on the Dauntless guard the border to the cyborg sector. The D Model cyborg captain has dedicated his lifespan to protecting their homeland. He’ll do anything to secure the space and keep his brethren safe.

That includes confronting a Valkyrie intent on vengeance.

The female warrior is beautiful, brave, strong…and Intrepid’s genetic match. She is the one being he is fated to claim. Her voice causes his circuits to hum. Her caresses produce a passion he struggles to control.

But if he has to stop her…permanently…to protect his kind, he will make that sacrifice.

Olrun has been tracking the whereabouts of a one-of-a-kind object. The stolen item is critical to the safety of Valkyries everywhere and she will do anything to retrieve it.

That includes waging war on a tall, broad-shouldered cyborg warrior sporting brilliant blue eyes and grimly set lips.

The male might…just might have battle skills matching her own. And that excites the immortal fighter. She craves his rough touch, his punishing embrace, his stern words.

But Olrun’s desire for the cyborg won’t distract her from achieving her goal. She will shield her Valkyrie sisters from danger, even if that means ending Intrepid’s lifespan in the process.

***

Intrepid Encounter is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a protective cyborg, a vengeful Valkyrie and a destiny neither of them can predict.

Intrepid Encounter And Valkyries

By Cynthia Sax on October 4, 2023

Olrun, the heroine of Intrepid Encounter, the fifth core story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in November), is a Valkyrie.

Valkyries play a role in Norse Mythology. They are famed female warriors. One of their duties is to escort warriors fallen in battle to Valhalla.

Some of that myth is based in Olrun’s reality. She IS a famed female warrior. She IS immortal (though, like the cyborgs, she CAN be killed). When Valkyries die, they believe they DO end up in Valhalla.

They don’t fly, however, except in ships. (grins) And they aren’t revered by the humans anymore. They are hunted by some terrible humans and other beings. Their numbers are dwindling.

It is important that Olrun protects her kind…even if that means killing the cyborg she desires.

Feeding The Bumblebees

By Cynthia Sax on October 3, 2023

The only things left growing in the backyard garden are tomatoes, lots and lots of tomatoes, marigolds, my one and only surviving zinnia plant and herbs.

The first frost date is roughly November 1st in my corner of the universe.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are allowing the tomato plants to continue to flower, however, because those flowers are feeding the bumblebees. As are the marigolds and the zinnia. The more flowers the bumblebees can feed on before the cold comes the more likely the queen bees are to survive the winter.

It is a tiny way we can make the bees’ lives better and the world a better place. (smiles)

Muse Food – Plants And Life Finds A Way

By Cynthia Sax on October 2, 2023

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this determined little plant growing where it likely shouldn’t grow near Hoonah, Alaska. (grins)

We, alien world writing writers, often discuss whether or not beings or any sort of life can live on certain planets in our stories.

I usually lean towards yes, life could exist there. Because I’ve seen life endure in unusual circumstances right here on Earth. A tree will grow on a tiny rock-covered island in the middle of a lake. Creatures will live at the bottom of the ocean, far from sunlight and in low oxygen. There is life in the freezing cold Antarctica.

Life truly does find a way.

Breathing Vapor – Mother’s Day Snippet

By Cynthia Sax on May 9, 2018

Mother’s Day in North America is on Sunday. I thought we’d celebrate this week by looking back at some of the Mother-themed moments in my stories.

Today’s excerpt is from Breathing Vapor and is a nod to all of the wonderful adopted Moms in Romanceland.

***

“Some of the cyborgs will be freed from planets besieged by war.” Vapor’s voice grew gruff with emotion. “There could be humanoid offspring on these planets. They might not have parents to care for them.”

Mira lifted her head. “That’s possible.”

What was he suggesting? It couldn’t be what she thought, hoped, dreamed. Her heart beat faster. They hadn’t discussed offspring since they left Tau Ceti. She’d accepted that she might never be a mother, had concentrated on the two of them, on helping all cyborgs escape.

Vapor set her feet on the floor. He slipped his right hand into one of his holsters, scooped out some cloth, and pressed it into her palms.

Mira smoothed the fabric and her breath hitched. It was a doll, constructed of scrap material, formed with binding. The face was crudely drawn, the eyes lopsided, the smile uneven.

Her rough tough warrior had crafted this toy. He was talking about offspring. Hope unfurled in Mira’s chest.

“What is this?” She had to be certain she wasn’t misunderstanding his meaning.

“It’s an Ulu.” Vapor shifted his weight from his right foot to his left. He looked down at the doll, not meeting her gaze. “We’ll give it to the offspring.”

“To the offspring?”

“To our offspring.” He touched the doll’s garment. His fingers shook. Her normally confident cyborg was nervous. That’s how much this conversation meant to him.

Vapor is the most advanced cyborg the Humanoid Alliance has ever developed. He’s a finely honed weapon, a warrior without parallel, half man and half machine. No lock can contain him. No being can stop him. Whatever he wants, he takes.

He wants Mira Breazeal, the Designer’s daughter.

She’s his one temptation, his sexy target. Vapor shouldn’t crave her caresses, steal her kisses, make her scream with ecstasy. The cyborgs want her dead and they would question his loyalty if he didn’t kill her. The humans would shoot him on sight if he dared to touch her.

Their love is forbidden. Their desire could be lethal. One human and one cyborg will risk everything for a moment of passion.
