Read Maelstrom Cara Bristol's new book @CaraBristol (Cyborg Force #4) #SciFi #Romance

Read Maelstrom Cara Bristol's new book @CaraBristol (Cyborg Force #4) #SciFi #Romance She desires to be loved. But that's the one thing he can't give her.

All Sandy Jodane ever wanted was to belong, to be loved. Instead, she's become a pawn to be used and discarded by her empire-building politician mother. After turning to stardust to deaden the pain of rejection, she finds the strength to beat her addiction and live life on her own terms. But, just as she makes a clean break, she finds herself on a desolate alien planet, taken into custody by a powerful cyborg determined to break her and get the information he needs.

A failed marriage proved to cyborg Quint Stroud that duty and love don't mix, so he's dedicated himself to C-Force, fighting for justice in the galaxy. He's now facing the toughest assignment of his career: protecting the life of a unique intelligent alien species on planet Sajave from a corrupt Earth president who would destroy it. Saving the alien will require help from an insider—the president's complicit, reprobate daughter. He vows to do whatever it takes to coerce her cooperation.

But nothing is as it seems. Quint discovers the gutsy, vulnerable woman needs his protection as much as the alien does, and Sandy suspects Quint's fierce, almost robotic appearance and manner hide a wounded heart. When they team up in a last-ditch effort to save the alien, they'll unleash a maelstrom of vengeance that could destroy their future or even their lives.

Maelstrom is the exciting, tempestuous final book in the Cyborg Force series.

Congratulations to Pauline Baird Jones @paulinebjones for the new Sci-Fi Romance Cosmic Boom #SciFi #Romance

Congratulations to Pauline Baird Jones @paulinebjones for the new Sci-Fi Romance Cosmic Boom #SciFi #RomanceCosmic Boom: The Cyborg Chronicles 2: Project Enterprise: The Cyborg Chronicles

A critical mission, a cosmic event, and a secret….

USAF Captain Hedy Quinton joined Project Enterprise so she could travel to a distant galaxy. Excited about her first command, she never expected the headaches that would go with it. She’s dealing with a lonely AI in her ship’s systems, a really cute deck officer who used to be a robot, a disgruntled ally who wants to be in command, and a passel of possibly dubious scientists. The only thing going for her is that none of them are named Dr. Smith.

BoomerJ—known as Boom—is still getting used to his new human body. His new form feels and needs things that his robot body never did, especially when he is around his new commanding officer, Hedy Quinton. His new emotions also make him realize something else—that his new form is fragile compared to his old one.

For Hedy, the pressures of command come into sharp conflict with the longings of her heart when Boom goes down to check out the weird happenings on an unknown planet. Things don’t go well down on the planet or up on the ship, making Hedy wonder if she should rethink her life’s choices.

Can their love survive a cosmic event, betrayal, and the secret of Boom’s past, or will they be destined to be lost in space?

If you love your chemistry interstellar, your action fast-paced, and your space opera sprawling, then grab COSMIC BOOM, the second entry in The Cyborg Chronicles, a spin-off series of the award-winning Project Enterprise series. Take an exciting adventure into the unknown.

The View From Here

By Leon Stevens

A tantalizing science fiction adventure

What would you do if you found yourself on or in another world? Do you have the skills and knowledge needed to survive or to make sense of what you see?

Thomas sets out on a hike he has done many times before. Taking only what he needs for the three or four hours he expects to be gone, he passes a vehicle in the parking lot. The handwritten note on the dashboard reads: Not Abandoned. The view at the end of the trail was not what he expected—neither were the friendships.

Two people with adventurous spirits, heading off into the unknown with only their physical fitness and combined knowledge to get them through every encounter.

The View from Here can be read as a stand-alone book, but also as the first book of the trilogy.

Available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited

“Humans? Equal? Not in my immortal lifetime.” #PietasFans #SciFi #MFRWhooks

"Humans? Equal? Not in my immortal lifetime." #PietasFans #SciFi #MFRWhooks

The Ultra people are winning the war against humans, yet the Council insists on peace talks. All to grant humans a seat on the Council. Humans! No, what's best for humans is oppression, control, and if necessary, elimination. Pietas seethes with rage at the idea of human equality. They might have created Ultras, but the creation has far surpassed the creator.

Equality for humans? Never.

Humans die. Ultras are reborn, no matter how grievous the injury. Therefore, Ultras have no equals.

His people permit him no choice. He must attend insipid peace talks on Enderium Six and what's worse, be polite. To humans.

In this scene, Pietas has been betrayed and trapped, and now they're coercing him to enter a lifepod...

The leaders of his people gathered in sleep around Pietas, sealed inside their curved, steel stasis tubes.

He folded his arms. "Feast your eyes, vultures." He lifted his chin. "You think to imprison me? You think to bring me down like a hunted animal?" He indicated the other life-pods. "I will not cower before you. I will not bow. I will not kneel. I will not serve. I will never submit. Humans were made to be ruled, not by my people, but by me."

The silhouettes above him contrasted with the bright light behind them. One by one, they slipped away, until one remained.

"Fighting us accomplishes nothing." The disembodied voice echoed in the chamber. "Enter the pod, Pietas, or we'll siphon the air. You'll die."

"I'll revive. I've died countless times. I do not fear death. Death fears me."

"So be it. Since you're so set on dying, have it your way. I told you if you didn't cooperate, I would detonate the bombs within the hostages you took aboard your ship. See for yourself."

On the opposite wall, an image of his ship sparkled into life, and a bloom of light filled the screen. A mass of debris shot in all directions.

"Your crew has ceased to exist."

"That image is a farce. You would not dare to destroy the council's flagship, and you will not destroy the council. You are cowards. You lock us away in a barren room and threaten our people. This is why humans do not deserve freedom. You are worthless, miserable liars."

"Believe me, your crew is quite dead. The universe is a safer place for it."

"Untrue. It will never be safe for humans. Especially not for you."
