Wounded in battle and left to die, Micajah 'Cage' Wyer has completely given up on any hope of rescue when two strange figures appear on the battlefield and whisk him away. Terrified, Cage wonders if they might be the enemy, with their pension for vivisecting prisoners of war, but the truth winds up being far stranger. Two cyborgs and a young scientist live alone in a house in the middle of a battlefront - and as if that weren't bad enough, the walls of the house itself seem to have even more to share.

In the shadows of a crumbling world, humans and cyborgs are locked in a brutal tech war - steel versus skin, code versus chaos. Nova, a sharp-tongued hacker raised to hate machines, has one mission: breach the neural mainframe and end the cyborg threat forever. Cipher, a lethal war-grade cyborg, was built to eliminate human resistance - until he hesitates. Until he sees her. They were never meant to meet, much less fall in love.

To win... they must burn the world down.
Oriehn
He kneaded his lips together. "You are not a warden," He croaked. At hearing his voice, raspy from underuse, I stilled but nevertheless nodded. He visibly gulped, as if the air was choking him, "But you are not human either." ********** Alice Proctor's world is dictated by two vital aspects- survival and revenge. A linguist for Earth's insurgence, and the one of the last survivors of an invading imperialist force, she has dedicated her life to ridding earth of a far superior race known as the Oriehns. When she is taken by a rogue test subject with ulterior motives in mind, Alice aids the rebel force the only way she can- accepting the alleged foreign ancestry forced upon her to gather crucial intel while aboard the Oriehn Lunar Station. But just as Alice thinks she knows what she wants, a month living amongst the welcoming culture of the Oriehns and an impending siege on the mothership has a way of twisting her opinions. ********** ********** © 2017 AaPThomps all rights reserved.
