CYBORG’S REVENGE: THE CYBORG CHRONICLES 1

A transhuman love story of revolt and redemption

Former human turned machine turned something in-between, Rap fights to reclaim his soul while hunted by a merciless Master. With a chatty pet, a sarcastic AI named Nelson in his head, and Ale reborn with a dangerous secret, Cyborg’s Revenge blends pulse-pounding suspense with tender, risky romance.


What readers have said about Cyborg’s Revenge:

When Machines Remember
to Feel

In a galaxy that treats bodies like tools and souls like property, Rap—once a man, then a machine, now on a fragile path back to humanity—must outwit the Master who still wants him shackled. Beside him: Snake, a deceptively talkative pet with its own mysteries, and Nelson, an AI lodged in Rap’s mind that supplies both strategy and sardonic commentary. Ale, newly human and hiding a truth that could free them or doom them, becomes both his greatest ally and his hardest puzzle.

A direct spin-off from the award-winning Project Enterprise universe, Cyborg’s Revenge flips the usual cyborg tale: this is a reverse-cyborg arc that savors what it means to become human again. Fans of character-driven sci-fi, gritty space-opera, and bittersweet romance will find a taut, emotional story of identity, liberation, and trust—perfect for readers who love high stakes and complicated hearts.

Can reclaimed humanity survive when love is built on secrets?


A Rebirth, A Reckoning, A Love That Refuses to Obey

From machine to human—and back into the fight. A sci‑fi suspense romance that asks: who do you become when you choose your own fate?

Step into an intergalactic journey where identity is rebuilt and loyalties are tested. Cyborg’s Revenge: The Cyborg Chronicles 1 follows Rap, once human, then a machine, and now transitioning back into flesh. Haunted by a past Master who still threatens freedom, Rap relies on his wits, his faithful pet Snake, and Nelson—an AI living inside his head—to navigate a universe stacked against them. But the true puzzle is Ale: newly reborn as human and holding secrets that could either save them or doom them all.

This novella blends suspense and character-driven romance as Rap and Ale learn what it means to be human again—awkward, vulnerable, and startlingly tender. Readers who enjoy tight pacing, emotional stakes, and speculative technology with heart will find themselves absorbed in a world of sentient AIs, unexpected alliances, and a slow-burning relationship that grows amid danger.
