Cyborgs’ Claim by Michele Mills

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Three outlaw Cyborgs. One human female… 

Axel, Steel and Gage. 

Merciless supersoldiers. Forbidden cybernetic experiments gone awry. They escaped from their Hurlian programmers and now live hidden in a desolate area of space where few enter and none leave. 

They crave one female to claim, one who will satisfy all their desires. But Cyborgs are illegal, so finding a mate has proven difficult. 

Until Megan.

As a survivor of horrific abuse at the hands of her alien captors, this tiny female from the original planet is both strong and fierce. Her white-hot desire brings all three men to their knees.

They want this female. Forever. 

But will she choose to live on the bleak edge of space, with three exacting, contraband Cyborgs, who have been stripped of human emotions? 

Or is their time up? Will the original programmers return for their ultimate weapons, destroying their female and all they’ve constructed?

The heroine: Megan – she went to bed one night in her apartment in Las Vegas and was abducted by aliens, put in a cage in a spaceship’s hold and she had been repeatedly raped and beaten, then fixed in a med bay only for it to happen again and again. She was to be sold as a sex slave to a race of aliens called Hurlians, but before arriving at their planet, she blew up the slave ship and jettisoned off in an escape pod.

The Hero: Axel, Steel and Gage – They were taken from their parents on New Earth at a young age and were turned into tactical killing machines and were an integrated unit, a super soldier team of three. They are now cyborgs, each with certain enhancements and their minds are linked. Axel has more emotions, where Gage and Steel had their emotions shut of or blocked. However, they always knew that one day they would find a woman that they could share and who would be theirs.

The story: Axel, Steel and Gage escaped from the Hurlians long ago and now live and work on a recycling facility stationed in the fifteenth section of The Swirl, in deep space beyond the four sectors. The swirl is a place beyond four black holes where much of the junk in space ends up, just swirling around. The guys stripped the space junk, shredded it and melted it down to be sold. One day they see the escape pod containing Megan, and they bring her in and heal her in their med bay. Each of them agreeing that she is the one.

The story was good, but there were holes and the writing wasn’t the best. The world building was great but the character development was pretty weak. The guys didn’t really have much personalities of their own and weren’t fleshed out characters. This was one of those books that is kind of a palate cleanser after reading some deeply involved books that have you reeling and not ready to get into much afterwards.

Megan was beaten and raped for a week straight and it only takes her a little over a week to get over it, so there was that. I think this would have been a bit better (and more believable) if she hadn’t been raped by the aliens that abducted her, but I just took everything with a grain of salt. Though there were some really good science fiction elements, like the holo deck, and the way they could order things online and they appeared via their transporter. They also had both a food and clothing fabricators and cleaning bots. I would love to have some of the same tech.
