Rebel Cyborgs is a five-book spinoff in Cynthia Sax’s cyborg world. Starting with Containing Malice (2021), the series follows rogues who break away from the larger cyborg community. B Free (2021) and Seizing Power (2022) continue the rebellion.
Each book pairs a cyborg hero with a different heroine, following the romance formula that Sax established in her earlier Cyborg Sizzle and Cyborg Warriors series. Containing Malice introduces a cyborg with a dangerous reputation, Under Strain raises the emotional stakes, and Baring Grudge brings old conflicts to the surface. The titles themselves hint at the internal struggles each cyborg faces as they try to balance their programming with their growing humanity.
Readers familiar with Sax’s other cyborg series will recognize the shared universe, but Rebel Cyborgs can be read on its own. The “rebel” label sets these characters apart from the more obedient cyborgs in her earlier books, giving the series a slightly grittier edge.
