Book Description
Machines aren’t supposed to feel, but this cyborg can’t help falling in love.
Assigned as a specimen collector for a captured cyborg, Chloe is intrigued by the machine disguised as a man. Kidnapped during his daring escape, he shows her that despite the chip in his brain, his humanity is not completely lost.
Formerly known as unit X109GI, Joe is on a quest to discover his origin. While he doesn’t find the answers he’s looking for, he does discover that affection and lust aren’t just for humans. But when it comes to a battle between logic and love, which side will the cybernetic organism—once a man—choose?
My Review
The cyborg now known as Joe is being held hostage by the same humans that made him and the other cyborgs. After he malfunctioned and started to have feelings and became self aware, he overheard that the humans were going to destroy the cyborg's including himself so he fought back and helped his other cyborg's to do the same.
Now Chloe is assigned to try to take some samples from Joe as he's being held captive. The humans don't think that he can do anything to hurt them as long as he's secured but Chloe doesn't like what's happening to him. So when he does escape, he takes her with him and shows her that the cyborg's aren't as bad as her colleagues made her think they were.
As time goes on and secrets are revealed, they find out some things that really twist this story in a new direction. The humans/scientists who are behind making the cyborg's are worst than anything they made up about the cyborg's who were just trying to survive. Since these cyborg's started off as humans, it only stands to reason that there might be some of their humanity left after the augmentation into a cyborg. To think that all humanity would be erased was dumb on the part of the scientists.
This story made me tear up a time or two at everything that was done to the different cyborg's and all they went through at the hands of the humans.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
