UNIT 78: Rescued by Mina Carter

4.0

Rich AKA Unit 78, is one of the "failed" cyborg experiments. He retained more of his humanity than the truly brain dead units. As usual he and his unit are treated with disdain by the military that created them, treating them as a dirty little secret. But when an Admirals daughter is kidnapped on a peacekeeping mission, they are called on to extract her.

Kyrin, is a negotiator but her skills let her down when she is kidnapped by a breeding cult! The leader wants to breed her himself but when Rich lands and claims that he is the "man of metal" mentioned in their prophecy. He has to get Kyrin out of their clutches but to do so he is going to have to get up close and far more personal than her father wants!

Kyrin came across as a bit naïve in my opinion. However she is a pacifist at her core and it kind of worked for her. Rich was Alpha personified. I loved how he took care of Kyrin in the throes of her serum induced "hot period". Kyrins humiliation could have crippled her but with Rich by her side she copes pretty well. Her fathers reaction, however left me wanting to smack him one! What an odious toad!

I enjoyed getting to know some of the other cyborg members of his crew as I haven't read the other book in this series as yet. Kyrin's sister is a bit of a firebrand and I can't wait to see what havoc she wreaks!
