A cyborg soldier with one mission:To rescue an innocent girl from a vicious cultBut in order to fulfill his duty, he must do the unthinkable.Can Rich and Kyrin find each other when they are lost in the Cult Compound?Unit 78, formerly Corporal Richard Hardgraves, is a Cyborg with a mission: to rescue the Admiral’s daughter from the dreaded Tr’Low Cult on Beacon 5.

The Tr’Lows have a prophesy that a half-metal man will come from the sky and father the perfect child on a chosen bride–Rich tells himself he will play the part just long enough to grab the girl and run.
Kyrin Pierce is a Peace Keeper with IPKA–the Interstellar Peace Keeping Association. Lured to Beacon 5 by a fake call, she was captured and now she is being prepared for an unspeakable ceremony. She too plays into the Tr’Low prophecy because of her flame-red hair. As the priestesses of the cult inject her full of hormones to drive her wild with need, she has nearly given up hope of escape.
Rich might be more metal than man but he still has a heart and when he sees what the Kyrin has been through, he aches for her pain. But in order to get her out of the Tr’Low compound, he must do the unthinkable…and give the cultists what they want by taking Kyrin in their public ceremony.
Kyrin doesn’t care that the man who has come for her is a cyborg, she only knows that her body needs him desperately. And after he rescues her, her heart needs him too.
But Kyrin’s father, Admiral Pierce, doesn’t approve of his daughter loving a “metal monster.” When he separates them and sends Kyrin to a hospital to take care of her “problem” can Rich rescue her again…in time to save their baby?
Half man…half metal…all heart. The CyBRG series by Evangeline Anderson and Mina Carter.

Mina Carter always delivers a fun exciting read, paired with Evangeline Anderson is just icing on the cake I adore both authors.
This is the second book in the CyBRG Files has Rich going in for rescue only he is suited for. He’s going to a fanatic colony to save an Admiral’s daughter.
Let’s remember that Cyborg in most people’s eye’s are poster children for what could go wrong, dangerous its that don’t even get a name but a number. But good enough to hire for a rescue attempt of an important daughter.
Not saying much else you have to read it but the group of fanatics just had me laughing the writers came up with a very interesting situation.
Fun, short but not short. Great characters hot scenes can’t wait to read more of the series. Enjoy
A Matter of Breeding
I love a good Cyborg story and this one was no exception. Minna Carter has such a way of writing a story to keep the reader interested and entertain and Unit 78: Rescued was such a book.
Rich and Kyrin are the major characters in the book I would have to say you got more of a background on the male lead which is really nice.
somehow I missed the very first book in this series and I’m going to have to go back and get it so I can enjoy getting to know all the characters as the books are released. Looking forward to the next book in the series which I hope is about Harper and Abby.
I have voluntarily read and review this book by my own choice without any obligation to the author.
Unit 78: Rescued (CyBRG Files Book 2) – Evangeline Anderson and Mina Carter
This is the 2nd book in the CyBRG Files series by both Evangeline Anderson and Mina Carter. While very familiar with Evangeline’s books I love her take on Cyborgs and the twist about this particular group of rogues. I have never read any books from Mina Carter but will definitely add them to my TBR list.
This book takes place away from the rogues homebase, a cyborg , Unit 78 known as Rich Hardgraves, was introduced in the first book. His sense of humor and outgoing personality carried over into this book. He’s been tasked with rescuing the daughter of a general whohas been abducted by a crazy cult. Despite his dislike for the Cyborgs he feels are lower than dirt Rich will fulfill the prophesy that his daughters abductors believe in.
There is a lot of craziness this cult victimizes poor Kyrin to, she was an independent professional ambassador peacekeeper, before being captured by the cult and given a host of drugs.
Of course in typical Evangeline Anderson’s world, the drugs and cult put Rich and Kyrin in some compromising and very erotic situations.
Rich falls for the brave red head and is bereft to be parted from her after her rescue. He is forced to turn her over to her overbearing prejudiced father who forces her into another kind of prison.
Kyrin sees way beyond the metal that makes up a good part of Rich’s body and chooses to love his heart and mind. They somehow have to find their way back to each other.
The story also introduces some cool secondary characters, Karin’s sister and Harper (another cyborg) whose stories I hope will be featured in the next book in the series. These Cyborgs are different from other series I have read, their quirky sense of humor, bravery, loyalty and morality make them much more admirable than the military humans that created them.
A definite great addition to the series. It’s highly recommended to read book 1 first.
This is the second book in the series.
I really appreciate a good read and this was a real page Turner.
I like the MC and how there story was told. Overall this meet my expectations. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy and my opinion are my own.
Loved it! Action packed with twist and turns. I couldn’t put it down. It had me from beginning to the end. Another great one.

I have to be in a special mindset to enjoy this type of sci fi as it usually freaks me out.
Having not read book one and not being a fan of Cyborgs, I have to say this was a very enjoyable read with interesting characters.
The cultist culture is alive and well even in the future and I felt sorry for what Kyrin went through but I loved how Rich saved the day not once but twice.
What a nasty piece of work the admiral was.
The cyborgs are the heroes in this story and how they became cyborg is tragic but I love they have built a place to call home all for themselves.
I loved all the other Cyborgs in this group, they were all very interesting and intriguing characters. I may one day read the rest of this series.
I was given this book as a free read for an honest review.
A great premise with some graphic elements. I love the cyborg rebellion storylines. But, I was conflicted when I read this book. Firstly, I enjoyed the atmosphere and humanizing descriptions of the Cyborgs altogether, I liked them more than I did most of the regular full-on human people. Secondly, Kyrin and her sister were also positive character depictions and were easy to get behind as well. The parts of the book that took place on the cyborg ship were the best parts of the book, with scenes and character actions that kept me engaged. I thought that the cult compound was too easy. Like how did these older, weak fanatics take over a whole planet? An entire planet? unless it was an asteroid sized planetlet? or a space station? I couldn’t compute the logic of that. This was really the only thing that kept this book from being 5 stars for me, and I know that it’s fiction and I should suspend judgement and just enjoy the story, but it just didn’t make sense. I truly loved how cheesy the bad guys were though, like Boris and Natasha if they were creepy sex cult fanatics with access to advanced pharmaceutical engineering research. Kyrin was made to be the catalyst of the story to spur the action of the hero, and she did that. She put up a struggle and did her best to save herself right up until she gave up on being rescued. I thought the breeding ritual scenes were tastefully done, considering what was actually being forced. That she and Rich fell in love is understandable as they are both empathic individuals. I wish there was a way to give 4.5 stars.
Unit 78 – formerly corporal Richard Hardgraves and his team had been taken out by a land mine and conveniently malfunctioning medical equipment. Then orders form the corrupt pike made them all cyborgs. Since their not brain dead they remain incontrol of thier body but space corps has disowned them until they need help
Admiral pierce’s daughter has been kidnapped
Kyrin is a peace maker she was taken by the Tr’Low Breeding cult and Rich is going after her.
Oh this was was great lots of twists and turns to the story made it a real page turner I couldn’t put it down. Awesome characters, lots of action, betrayal, mystery, intrigue, drama, and more. Don’t miss it.
Voluntarily reviewed a copy and I honestly enjoyed it.
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!
I have been really enjoying this series so far. To say which book I loved more so far I can not say. I loved this book just as much as I loved book one. Now I really tried to stop and think to see if I would recommend this book as standalone. I would say yes but reading book one helps you know how these men became cyborgs and the long journey they have come to get to were they are now. But yes I do believe you can read this book as a standalone.
Though these cyborgs are half machine and half man I believe they have more man then machine. Meaning they have all their human traits. It does break my heart how these men can feel like they are unloveable. They desire the same thing any human does. To be loved and have someone to love. They long for that physical connections.
When I was reading about these cyborgs I wanted to jump in the book and roll around with them..LOL I am truly loving getting to know each of them.
Unit 78 aka Richard Hardgraves had a very important mission. He was to do a rescue mission on a woman that was in an occult that was all about breeding. They believe she was their queen that prophecy spoke of. He was going to a place that would believe he was the male that was prophesied about as well. Half man and have metal.
I think in the story we get to discover the type of man Richard really was. He truly had a good heart. He would of put his life down to save Kyrin. He was a honorable man and a caring man. He was also very protective. Reading this my heart broke for him. He was falling for Kyrin and felt she could never love someone like him. He has been through so much and carries so much pain.
Kyrin carries so much guilt with her. In a way she blames herself for what happen to her crew and the situation she finds herself in. She fought with all she had on what was being done to her. I also discovered that Kyrin had this amazing heart. I think that is why she had the job she had. She desired to bring peace. As you are reading about her you can see why she is prefect for Richard.
It might of been an awful situation that Richard and Kyrin find themselves in but it is also what helps bring them together. These two will have their battles to get to were they want to be. But I believe everything they go through is what helps bring them closer together.
I loved that we got introduced to Kyrin’s sister in this book. I can tell she really loves her sister and would do anything for her.
There is some pretty steamy parts in this book. Trust me when I say the authors do not disappoint. I am so happy I got a chance to read this book.
ADULT scifi romance
Reviewed by Shoshanahlila
Hot read that includes their minds as well as their bodies in the attraction. They will still have to overcome her father when he hears/ finds out she is gone and “disobeyed”, so I see this as a happy for now pice, because the situation is not yet resolved. Maybe in book two of the sisters? That is what it sounded like at the end.

I really liked this story because it was fun. A quick read that hit my enjoy spots constantly.
The hero, Rich or Unit 78, has some great internal dialogue with himself during the story and his interactions are freaking hilarious at times. There were times that I thought the heroine, Kyrin, should have done something different or been a little more proactive, but not sure that would have worked for her character or where she was held against her will.
The situations that they find themselves in are not humorous, and some of them are downright scary and humiliating, especially for Kyrin. I was able to empathize with her during the story and really enjoyed when she stood up for herself, not that it got her very far. Her father on the other hand needs to have a good throat punch. Her sister, now that is one story that am SO looking forward to reading (hint, hint Mina and Evangeline!).
Overall, I really liked this one and am really looking forward to what comes out of this awesome author pairing.
The cyborg unit that was created while their brains were still “alive” are no longer taking orders from the Space Corps. However, the admiral of the Corps needs a favor. The cyborgs decide to use it to their advantage. So, Unit 78, Rich, is tasked with saving the admiral’s daughter, Kyrin. She has been taken by a cult that wants to use her for breeding. Rich is able to get to her but she has already been given all kinds of drugs that make her not herself.
These 2 were perfect together, they didn’t try to pretend they weren’t attracted to each other, they simply admitted that things needed to be done to survive. However, they’re both suffering from some insecurities. Then add in Kyrin’s crazy dad and it makes an interesting story. Can’t wait to read the next one. Harper and Kyrin’s sister are going to be hilarious!!!
Out of this World Cyborg Story!!
I docked one point for a slightly contrived situation for our hero and heroine. A prophesy for a breeding cult causes the admirals’ daughter Kyrin to be kidnapped because she resembles the chosen bride. Cyborg Unit 78; formerly Corporal Richard Hargraves is asked to rescue her, as he passes for the other piece of the prophesy.
An unusual situation exists within the cult concerning breeding, drugs, poison and high risk. Forcing these two to become intimate to survive. Cyborgs are generally seen as “below” humans, but they act with more honor than some of the humans in this story.
*** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book ***
Unit 78…
While I haven’t read the first book in this series( plan on one-clicking asap), I don’t think it hampered my reading of this book. I loved Unit 78(Rich). Man or cyborg, he was a wonderful male. The way he interacted and protected Kyrin was sweet. Unfortunately, the situation Kyrin was in was not sweet. It could be considered dark and depraved by some and I’m not just referring to her time with the Tr’Low Breeding Cult. The time with her father is just as bad. I suggest you read to find out what I mean. I can’t wait to see what these two authors have planned next… maybe Harper and Abby.
*I received an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book which I am voluntarily reviewing*
The second book in this entertaining off planet series. Cyborgs are former humans killed or almost killed in action. By choice…I don’t think so. This group were not brain dead and fight with human emotions, they will not be killing machines. Rich is sent on a mission that doesn’t quite go the way he expected. Can he rescue this woman destined to be part of his life forever? A great afternoon read, I highly recommend it.
Another great edition to this series I was a fan on unit 78 from the first book I am glad he got his story told Great steamy love scene couldn’t put this book down throw in some good action and love the connection between the main character looking forward to reading more by these 2 Arthur’s.

These cyborgs are much more than what they were suppose to be! They’re compassionate and loving…and protective. When Rich was tasked with saving the Admiral’s daughter, be never expected to fall for the girl and be torn apart when she’s taken from him, but things happen and they get their HEA. I cannot wait to see what happens with her sister Abby!

I enjoyed reading this book , it has a great storyline. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own. Ok with that being said I really enjoyed this book. Under the circumstances both Rich and Kyrin experience a horrible ordeal. I will advise caution while reading it. Still that didn’t take away from the story. However I would’ve prefer more of a build up between Kyrin and Rich instead of the instant falling in Love. (That just my opinion ) I also like the interaction between the cyborgs especially with the way they tease each other. It’s was easy to see and believe they are a military unit they’re very protective of each other and they have each other back. Overall a enjoyable and entertaining read I’m definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series I really hope it’s Kyrin sister.
