Short description

After three years of grinding misery, Tassin finds the one thing that will enable her to go in search of Sabre, but she is soon lost in a modern world. With the help of a young hacker, she sets out to track Sabre down, not knowing whether he will still be able to free himself from the control unit. If Myon Two has repaired it, there is a possibility he may never get free again…

Extended description

For three long years, Tassin has tried to find a way to travel to the stars and free Sabre. Her hunt for the sword the Core lives in has proven futile, until one day a serving boy finds a key, and she discovers where Sabre hid the sword. She persuades the malevolent weapon to take her to Sabre, and arrives on the planet Ferrinon Four. Lost in a modern city, Tassin goes to a private detective who, since she has no money, advises her to try a friendly young hacker. Kole agrees to help her look for a cyber she only knows is somewhere on the planet. Without Sabre’s serial number, all she can do is seek him amongst the many others on this world.

If she does locate Sabre, she has no money with which to buy him, and cybers cannot be stolen. Even Kole, who is the best hacker on the planet, knows it is impossible to hack a control unit. The micro-supercomputer is simply too complex, and has multiple security checks and firewalls, not to mention a lethal pair of fists. Tassin’s only sour..

Her hunt for the sword the Core lives in has proven futile, until one day a serving boy finds a key, and she discovers where Sabre hid the sword. She persuades the malevolent weapon to take her to Sabre, and arrives on the planet Ferrinon Four. Lost in a modern city, Tassin goes to a private detective who, since she has no money, advises her to try a friendly young hacker. Kole agrees to help her look for a cyber she only knows is somewhere on the planet. Without Sabre’s serial number, all she can do is seek him amongst the many others on this world.

If she does locate Sabre, she has no money with which to buy him, and cybers cannot be stolen. Even Kole, who is the best hacker on the planet, knows it is impossible to hack a control unit. The micro-supercomputer is simply too complex, and has multiple security checks and firewalls, not to mention a lethal pair of fists. Tassin’s only source of potential wealth is the sword, an oddity that a rich mogul might pay handsomely for. Kole advertises the weapon on the Net, and agrees to loan her the money to buy Sabre if she finds him, although to Tassin, the idea of buying him is abhorrent.

First they have to find him, and then she has to find a way to free him from cyber control again. Manutim would have taken him back to Myon Two for repairs, and there’s a chance she may never be able to free him again, but at least she can ensure he does not suffer anymore. What kinds of torture has Cybercorp subjected Sabre to, and, if she finds him and frees him, will he still be the man she loves?

Review by: Vanessa Finaughty on Dec. 27, 2011 :
In Cyborg, Book 4 of the Cyber Chronicles series, Tassin finally finds a way of finding Sabre. On the strange, modern planet where Tassin believes Sabre to be, she is forced to seek help from a hacker, Kole, to search for the cyber – a difficult, if not impossible, task.

As usual, an entertaining book with exceptional descriptions, realistic characters and an utterly engaging plot.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: once you’ve read one of Southwell’s books, you won’t want to stop, even if you aren’t fond of the sci-fi fantasy genre – I wasn’t… until I my first Southwell book.

I had no idea where the story was going to take me when I started book one. By the time I finished book 9, I realized I had been taken on a wonderful journey. Great reading.

I truly enjoyed reading this book, I read the whole series and I enjoyed every book. I read all of TC Southwells books except one. TC Southwell is a fine author and I will buy any other books that she might write. I followed a link from TC Southwells site to Smashword and finished buying the rest of the series I was reading.
Waiting for her next series.
