Baring Grudge, Humanoid Alliance Space Stations And Death Stars
The first scene of Baring Grudge is set on the moon-shaped Humanoid Alliance space station the cyborgs commandeered at the end of Under Stain.
When I think of the space station, I think of the Death Star from the Star Wars world.
They are both spheres, have ships and weapons stored within them, serve as control centers, can be mobile (though they move very slowly). Armies can occupy the structures.
The interiors are also fairly similar. There are mazes of hallways and chambers within the Humanoid Alliance’s space station and the Death Star.
There ARE differences between the two.
While the Humanoid Alliance’s space station has exterior weapons, they are used primarily for defense. The Death Star has an awesome planet-destroying super laser.
The Humanoid Alliance’s space station is disguised as a moon. The (completed) Death Star isn’t being hidden from anyone. (grins)
For the health of the universe and the safety of the beings living in it, however, the Humanoid Alliance’s space station and the Death must share the same fate.
They both have to be destroyed.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Fire
I LOVE dragons. (grins) You might have noticed that. The Dracheons are alien versions of dragons. They don’t shift into full dragon form but they do breathe fire, they have scales and they are extremely primitive and possessive.
Dare, the hero of Dark Fire, is a Dracheon warrior. His damsel fully capable of getting her own self out of distress is Faylee. She provokes the beastly passion in him.
Dark Fire
What the Beast wants, the Beast gets.
Dare’s savage nature has made him an outcast among his kind. The silver-scaled Dracheon warrior can’t control his inner beast. It’s too strong. When his primitive instincts told him his destined mate was on Carinae E, he had no choice. He had to travel to the outlaw planet. There, he hoped to meet a female powerful enough to survive his Drache.
He finds Faylee, a delicate little human.
Faylee is the best thief on the planet. Everyone she encounters mistakes her for a young boy…except for a tall, shiny warrior from off-planet. When she gazes into Dare’s flame-filled eyes, he makes her feel, for the first time, like a desirable female. The fire-breathing male has her yearning for hot kisses, fierce embraces, and a future filled with love. She doesn’t realize mating with him might be the last thing she ever does.
Dare’s beast isn’t the only danger on the planet. An enemy from the past has returned and he’s determined to stop Dare and Faylee…permanently. They’ll need luck and the assistance of every warrior in the Refuge to stay alive.
Dark Fire is a STANDALONE SciFi Romance set in a gritty, dark world.

Baring Grudge And Friendships
Baring Grudge is a romance first and foremost. The focus is on Grudge’s relationship with Taelyn.
But it is also a story about family and friendship.
Grudge’s best friend is Rancor, the pilot on Cadet’s Cyborg Retrieval Team. These two warriors cause absolute chaos together. (grins) Grudge, having had his actions restricted in the past, is always up for anything. Rancor often supplies the (bad) ideas behind that anything. They are menaces to the universe and I had so much fun recording their antics. They almost stole the story.
I also gained more respect for Cadet. She has her big C Model hands full with handling those two cyborgs. (laughs) She loves them though. So very much. She would give her lifespan for theirs.

Talking Cyborgs And Isolation On Jessica Coulter Smith’s Online Home
Woot! I’m visiting the always awesome Jessica Coulter Smith at her online home – Books + Coffee = Happiness, talking about cyborgs and emerging from isolation.
Here is a snippet…
“My corner of the universe is slowly emerging from pandemic-induced isolation and…well…I’m not at all fit for public interactions. (laughs) I am a mess socially.
A friend wanted to give me a hug a few days ago and I, an avid hugger in the Before Times, backed away, held up my hands to block the hug and gave her what she said was a comically horrified look.
I saw a neighbor without her mask and told her “Nice face.” She laughed but I was mortified. Who says that to someone?
It turns out I do.”

Baring Grudge – First Scene Of The First Chapter
Yay! We’re now counting down the days until Baring Grudge, the explosive third standalone story in the Rebel Cyborgs series, releases!
While we wait for Baring Grudge to release on August 10th, I’ll be sharing the first chapter, starting today with the very first scene.
***
Chapter One
Grudge’s self-appointed mission was to blow up as much shit as possible.
The C Model cyborg enjoyed blasting objects, ships, and beings to pieces. He liked the big booms, the plumes of fire, the impact of it. But he also viewed it as payback.
An enemy warrior had tried to blow him up, had 22.3256 percent succeeded in that task. Grudge curled his purely mechanical left arm. He sought to return that favor.
The detonation of the Humanoid Alliance space station they’d recently commandeered would have to be delayed, however.
He strode along the hallway. His boot heels rang against the white tile floor. There was no need to be quiet. His brethren and a brethren’s female were the only beings in the structure.
Cadet, the leader of their cyborg retrieval team, wanted to convey the ships and the weapons they’d found within the structure to Mercury Minor, their home planet. That would take time.
He could wait…impatiently…as long as he was the being to orchestrate the destruction.
Grudge reached an intersection and turned right, moving toward the docking bay.
Rancor stood in the middle of the hallway. He was face-to-face with one of the deactivated robot guards. The D Model had a wide grin on his face.
“Whatever you’re planning, I’m in.” Grudge wouldn’t miss the chaos that was certain to ensue.
“Cadet told me to clear the robots out of the hallways.” The warrior’s eyes glittered. “She didn’t tell me to put them back in their storage chamber.”
“We can’t blow them up.” Grudge relayed that regretful truth. “It might compromise the space station’s structural integrity.”
That would lower the intensity of the demolition, and it would irritate their leader. They would have to relocate the warships faster.
“We can’t blow up the robots inside the space station.” Rancor hefted one of the manufactured guards over his right shoulder. “But if we jettison them, we can blast them to bits outside it.”
Frag. Grudge grinned. His friend had the best ideas.
He picked up two of the artificial beings. “The guns on the warships are massive.” The newly obtained vessels were designed for battle. “The robot bits will be tiny.”
“The warships are fast also.” Rancor shoved a robot headfirst into a chute. Its shoulders got stuck in the narrow space. The D Model gave it a solid whack with both of his hands. There was a loud crack. And the robot slid out of sight. “I’ll set speed records this planet rotation.”
Rancor was their number-one pilot. He had set all their existing records.
“The freighter almost peeled apart during your last attempt at breaking records.” Grudge had found that thrilling. “The panels were rattling.”
“Cadet threatened to expel me into space if I didn’t slow down.” Rancor laughed as he grabbed one of Grudge’s robots. “The freighter wasn’t manufactured for speed, not like that warship on Suhail al Muhlif D was.”
They chattered about past flights and explosions as they stuffed more and more robots down the chute. There were numerous adventures to relay.
The two of them had been employed on thousands of missions as part of the cyborg retrieval team. Before they’d met each other, while they were under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, they had fought in many more battles.
And cyborgs never forgot anything. Every detail was captured in their databases.
“I caught that missile.” As Grudge shared that moment, he slammed his hand down on a robot’s foot, propelling it into the chute. “And I threw it back at them. They didn’t project I’d do that. The looks on their human faces before it hit them amused me for planet rotations.” He laughed and he picked up another robot, put it headfirst into the disposal space. “They—”
He stopped talking and straightened. According to his lifeform scans, a cyborg was approaching them.
Rancor snapped to attention also.
The being headed in their direction was female and a C Model. The newcomer had to be Cadet, their leader. There was a 62.1258 percent probability she wouldn’t approve of their activities.
Grudge had no regrets. For solar cycles, after he’d been partially blown up, his adventures had been severely restricted. He reveled in taking part in antics when he was given the opportunity.
Cadet came into view. She was clad in black body armor as they were, had the gray skin, black hair and energy infused eyes of their early cyborg models.
Their leader looked at Grudge, at Rancor, at the robot partially stuffed into the chute. She closed her eyes for one, two heartbeats, then opened them again.
“I did ask you to clear the hallways.” She shook her head. “Have your fun now. We’re gathering in the docking bay at the end of the shift, and I expect the two of you to be there. Do you understand?”
“We understand.” They said that in unison.
Grudge had donned the blank mask all cyborgs had perfected, his lack of expression belying his inner glee. Cadet not only hadn’t reprimanded them, she’d authorized their plans.
The C Model turned her head and narrowed her eyes at him. Their leader always seemed to read his programming. She must have processed his celebratory mood.
He ruthlessly purged his emotional system and gazed back at her.
A moment passed.
Cadet released a deep sigh. “Be in the docking bay at the end of the shift.” She gave him one more hard look and walked in that direction.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – July 11th
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are 2 weeks post second vaccination and are now officially fully vaxxed! Woot! That is such a relief. It will make us, especially my super social Dear Wonderful Hubby, safer, and it will be much easier to travel outside of our country.
I continue to work on B Free, the fourth Rebel Cyborgs story (releasing in November). I love B and his female. (grins) I should be on track to send the story to my Awesome Editor at the end of the month.
Have a great day and an awesome week, my friends. (big hugs) Read some wonderful books. Eat seasonal fruits and veggies if you both like them and have access to them. Get outside if you can do that comfortably and safely. Enjoy this wonderful world!

Baring Grudge, Missing Limbs, And Nanocybotics
Cyborgs can normally have their limbs replaced and, if this is done immediately, their nanocybotics will accept those new body parts, cover them with skin, muscle, flesh.
The key word is…immediately.
If there’s a long delay, the nanocybotics reset. They create a ‘new normal’ for the cyborg’s form and this new normal doesn’t include the missing limbs.
When a limb is attached after this reset, a cyborg’s nanocybotics rejects it. They don’t consider it to be part of the cyborg’s body. They treat the new body part as they would treat a built-in weapon, for example. It is an accessory, not to be repaired.
This is what happened to Grudge. His replacement limbs weren’t replaced soon enough.
Because of this, he doesn’t consider himself to be fully functional.
His female, however, has a different view of his replacement limbs.

They’re also very protective of their territory and what…or who they consider to be theirs. Adar shares all these characteristics with his animal and I find that so very sexy.

Throwback Thursday – Defying Death
What would you do for one moment of happiness?
Death, the cyborg hero of Defying Death, would trade his life for the opportunity to meet, talk with, touch his female, the one being genetically compatible with him. His past has been dominated by pain, loss, death. He has never known true joy, would do anything to experience it.
Tifara’s goal in life is to prevent death. She is determined to find cures for any and all viruses. Her own happiness has been pushed to the side…until she meets Death.
Defying Death
He’ll risk it all for one moment of happiness.
Cyborgs don’t show emotion. Death learned that lesson early in his long lifespan. To survive, he hides his fierce passions behind a stoic wall. He calls no warrior friend. He never admits to caring for any being.
Even the human female he’s destined to love.
Tifara is Death’s obsession, his sole opportunity for happiness, to express the all-consuming passion burning brightly inside him. He’ll do anything to obtain the curvaceous medic: defy a direct order, abduct Tifara from her battle station, and wage war on his fellow cyborgs.
To earn her love, he’ll have to risk much, much more.

Baring Grudge And Antares II
Taelyn, the heroine of Baring Grudge, considers Antares II to be her home planet.
Antares II is a nod to Antares, the 15th brightest star in Earth’s night sky. Antares is a red supergiant and can often be seen by the naked eye. No telescope is necessary to view it!
Antares is a condensed form of Anti-Ares. Ares aka the Greek God of War was called Mars by the Romans.
Antares was often confused with the planet Mars in the past. It has roughly the same brightness and color as the Red Planet.

She is Grudge’s genetic match, the one being manufactured for him. He wants to touch her, kiss her, claim her in all ways, but first he has to stop her from blasting him into the next galaxy.
Taelyn has a self-appointed mission—to destroy every battle robot the Humanoid Alliance has ever manufactured. A huge gray-skinned, blue-eyed cyborg warrior with mismatched arms won’t prevent her from achieving her goal. She’ll escape him, leaving destruction in her wake.
Before she departs, she’ll experience one toe-curling moment of hatred-edged passion with her handsome foe. She’ll show him how skilled with detonations she truly is. He will have his universe rocked.
Then she’ll disappear.
Her cyborg, however, has no intention of ever letting her go.
