Once he was a cyber scientist who restored cyborgs. Now he’s Nero 1000. Locked in the cage of an insane cyber scientist who calls himself Creator Omega, Nero waits for his captor to decide his fate. Having seen Creator Omega’s horrific failed experiments, Nero knows his body is about to be cybernetically altered forever. Even knowing that, he’s not sorry he traded himself to free Aja Kapur. He … Aja Kapur. He would do it all over again.
Though Nero doesn’t know what Creator Omega did to the female cyborg to remove her memories and gain her obedience, he knows Kyra will fix her—if Aja finds her way back. One thing is for sure, Aja’s fellow female cyborgs, Lucy and Meara, will never stop searching and will fight to the death to save her.
Hell has no fury like an abused female cyborg seeking revenge. But who will save him?
Peyton will try. All of the cyborgs he helped restore will try. His captor may be a tipping point for the next world war. He prays that doesn’t happen, but the injustice of people being cybernetically without their permission must stop. Kyra is right about that. She’s always been right that the cyber soldier program failed humanity. And well his gods know that he played his part.
But Creator Omega doesn’t care about what anyone thinks of his evil. His madman captor wants a new right-hand man. He used Aja as bait to lure him there. Now he has exactly what he wanted all along.
For Nero, that means it’s already too late. He’s about to become something no one ever may be able to save.

Nero 1000 is book six and the final one in the Cyborgs: Mankind Redefined by Donna McDonald. I have been reading this series from the beginning so I was expecting the Creator Omega to be revealed. What I wasn’t expecting was all the hard hitting questions along with so some of the others who had backed the Creator. Science Fiction that shows how today’s world climate could allow this to happen. Perhaps it has been written to make us think as well as to entertain, which it does in spades,
A hero who will do whatever it takes or to sacrifice himself for another. Wow, Nero is such but will others stand by to allow that to happen? That is the main focus of this story as the humans and cyborgs band together to stop the Creator Omega. I was pulled into the story wanting to help them too. Emotional, action packed and full of surprises not all good ones. When finished I couldn’t help but hope that there will be a spin-off series to come.
The publisher/author gave me a complimentary ARC of the book which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own
I’ve been reading this series since the beginning and I have to say Nero is a great character – I’ve found myself constantly saying “awwwwwww!” throughout the stories and this time that is mixed with wanting to stand with him and help get him out of the “situation” he finds himself in.
No spoilers but the cyber community – soldiers and scientists and hackers – are amazing and make this story fast and furious. There are lots of bad guys, REALLY bad guys, and much good folks – both human and cyber human. There’s mystery and intrigue and betrayals and love; love so strong that bonds that were already there are strengthened as the story unfolds.
Great read that has so many ups and downs and twists and turns that I can’t say much or else I’ll spill the plot. Recommend!
An action packed thrill ride from beginning to end. All of the characters from this series make appearances in this conclusion of the overarching plot line giving us true closure even as I wish for more. Nero and Aja are the focus of the story but the whole gang has to step up facing the big baddie and his minions as well as the bureaucracy. I love that even with the heartbreaking suspense there is also humor and the personalities of these cyborgs is still so human and relatable. And the women are every bit as tough as the men. The writing drew me in and it felt almost like watching a movie. I absolutely loved this riveting tale.
Nero 1000 by Donna McDonald
Cyborgs: Mankind Redefined #6 (finale)
With most of the people and cyborgs from previous books safe and sound there is still Aja out there somewhere waiting to be saved. And, Aja is being held by Creator Omega who is a VERY bad dude. When Nero is given a choice that he can’t refuse he realizes it probably won’t go well for him. So, relying on his friends who are cyborgs, humans and scientists he heads off to do what he must do hoping that the woman he loves will be saved from a fate worse than death.
What I liked:
* Nero – smart, loving, giving, old fashioned, kind
* Aja – what a difference a processor can make
* Meara and Will – they played a big part in this book
* Calvin – wouldn’t mind seeing more of him at some point in the future
* The Team – mostly couples that found one another in previous books
* Finding out who Creator Omega really is
* The wrap-up that settles what happens to the loose ends – although – there are people that could show up in future cyborg books if there is a spin-off series
* The end statement – made me think about wars and revolutions and such and living in Lebanon at the end of 2019 that is a big issue at the moment
What I did not like:
* The men in power wanting to keep power and their corrupt skewed outlook on the world (recurring theme in the world though I wish it wasn’t))
* The loss of those that were used as guinea pigs by Creator Omega (and others)
* Saying goodbye to this series
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes
Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
