Short description

When Sabre wakes to find himself a prisoner of Myon Two, destined to be the subject of painful experiments, he seeks to evade his fate if he can. Escaping Myon Two has always been impossible, however, although two sympathetic young technicians try to find a way, while Tassin and Tarl, trapped on Omega Five, strive to locate Sabre’s emergency beacon to summon Overlord Fairen to his aid…

Extended description

Sabre has become a bone of contention between three Overlords, and Myon Two. The Spider Lord, first to encounter him, has found him innocent, but Overlord Ramadaus has declared Sabre to be an abomination, and aids Myon Two in their endeavours to capture the rogue cyber. Sabre, however, has made a particular friend of one Overlord, whose life he saved from a Corsair, a particularly dangerous alien species.

Overlord Fairen has claimed Sabre as his friend, and granted him protection and an emergency beacon with which to summon him. He has also visited Myon Two and forbidden Cybercorp to hunt Sabre, but enforcer factions, with the backing of Ramadaus, continue to try to capture the cyber. Myon Two wants to examine him, discover how he got free of the control unit and ensure that he is returned to cyber control, or destroyed.

Therefore, when Sabre wakes to find himself a prisoner of Myon Two, he knows Ramadaus had a hand in his capture, especially since the emergency beacon is gone. O..

On Omega Five, Tassin tries to find a way off world, with Tarl’s help, and two cyber technicians try to free Sabre on Myon Two. Sabre’s only salvation, however, could lie with a fourteen-year-old boy who is the most feared Overlord of all. He is known as the Wild Child and the Red Death, and commands the most powerful city-ship every built. He is the Scorpion Lord.

Review by: Vanessa Finaughty on Sep. 03, 2012 :
The fast-paced Scorpion Lord kept me reading hours after my bedtime. There’s always something happening in this book, and I found myself craning my neck forward while reading, as if that would magically enable me to read faster. I read this in two nights, and can’t wait to get stuck into the next one.

The book begins when Sabre wakes up on Myon Two – once again at the mercy of the despised cyber technicians. Sabre frees himself and begins to free his clone brothers too, in the process proving to some technicians that cyber hosts are, indeed, human. Two cyber technicians help him to escape, but how far will they get with a powerful super-corporation in pursuit? In the meantime, Tassin and Tarl search with growing frenzy for the emergency bracelet given to Sabre by Overlord Fairen, the Scorpion Lord, for only he has the power to find and rescue Sabre.

If you haven’t read Book 1 in the Cyber Chronicles yet, do yourself a favour and download it (it’s free). I think Scorpion Lord would make a good standalone read, but it’s far more enjoyable if you already know Sabre and Tassin. Just be warned that you might find Book 1 so enjoyable that you’ll be compelled to buy the rest of the series. I promise you: it’s worth a lot more than it’s priced.

The series was excellent overall but I thought the books that focused on the overlords were the best. So I really liked this book.
