Seth (Cyborgs More than Machines) Eve LanglaisWow just Wow, I totally loved Seth’s book.  Totally.  He’s has got to be the most fun loving, jokester, intelligent, hot as hell spy cyborg.  He was not designed as the warrior cyborgs, but as a spy.  The spy cyborgs had more of their human traits and characteristics left so they could mingle in with the humans and not be detected.  Don’t get me wrong his fighting skills were second to none.  He was basically a spy and a trained assassin.Something I hadn’t realized was Seth actually volunteered to be enhanced to an extent.  But when the good Doctor wanted to start replacing perfectly good organs with mechanical ones that’s where Seth drew the line.To recap Seth was married and his wife Anastasia was also in the Military and human just like Seth.  They met in training camp and immediately Seth was attracted to her.  When he offered his hand to assist her over a wall she scoffed at him.  Seth was never one to try and out shine, he would rather help those who needed it.  But when Anastasia mentioned some type of competition and 10 recruits would be chosen for a special mission Seth could not resist the challenge.And here is where their story begins.  They were both chosen to go to the next level of the test. And of course they passed.  The Superiors matched up Seth and Anastasia as a team and rightly so.  They were unbeatable.  Still going through strenuous training when it came to the physical hand-to-hand Seth had the advantage.  He was bigger, and he was male.  When Anastasia disappeared for a week Seth was going crazy.  What he didn’t know they were enhancing her to be as strong as Seth.  She was injected/transfused with teeny tiny foreign bots that circulated in their blood.  But unbeknownst to her she had a BCI chip installed in her brain so she could be controlled.  Seth went through the same procedure of enhancement and he too had a BCI implanted.  I don’t want to reveal too much of the story but Seth’s refusal of letting them replace perfectly good organs with mechanical ones and his request to get out of the program started a chain of events where the military had control (or so they thought) over Seth and Anastasia.  Anastasia was lead to believe Seth was and had been unfaithful in their marriage sparking her jealousy. They were each instructed to put down the other, which didn’t happen.Surprising a lot was revealed and insinuated in this book.  Very interesting.  Left a lot of unanswered questions for the cyborgs and their origin. Anastasia is still bent on revenge for what was done to her and plans to get it.The way this story was written Eve takes you to present, then she gives a glimpse of their past, then brings you back up to the present.  I loved it.  You got an in-depth up close and personal glimpse at Seth and Anastasia’s military life and what went down to bring them to this point in their lives.  You really need to read this story.  I’m going to say it’s one of my favorites.  It actually had me laughing out loud at certain parts, and holding my breath at others. The Epilogue totally blew me away.  I was trying to figure out if the Cyborg was Avion or Kyle having the dream conversation with an imprisoned female Cyborg known as One.  I’ve got this gut feeling this female human turned cyborg is actually the daughter of the Doctor who started all the experimenting.  I guess I’ll just have to wait for the next book release.
