Rage is a cyborg, created as a weapon by the Humanoid Alliance. He is not treated as a person, and those in command don't consider him to be human enough to have feelings or be worth treating with decency. He is experimented on and allowed no freedom except when fighting the enemy.

But Rage is far more than they realise, and he has been plotting not only his escape, but the escape of the other cyborgs on his ship. Shortly, their time will come.

Joan is the only female on the ship, and the men want to make a point with her. If she fails, no other women will be allowed, so they will set her up for failure. After Rage brutally kills his previous handler, they give Joan the job, fully expecting her to be slaughtered. But Joan treats Rage with respect and decency, and the two soon discover that they can work together to free the cyborgs.

I never expected to enjoy a book about a human and a cyborg. I was just intrigued enough to try it, and got sucked in. There were a few times I thought 'Seriously?' but the book was very easy to read and before I knew it, I'd finished it.

I loved the cyborg characters. Rage's close friends in particular were amusing and gave the whole book that feeling of being realistic even though it clearly wasn't. I loved reading their interaction and their thoughts about Joan. They were easily my favourite part of the book.

I'm not into the whole dom/sub scene, preferring a balance of power and respect, and so I found the submission of Joan to be a little grating. A little demeaning. But that's probably just me.

This book features rape and torture, although both are alluded to more than graphically described. If this is likely to upset you, don't read this book.
