Ares

He wasn't expected to survive. No one else did, and for twenty years, he has managed to stay off their radar. Until now. Until her.

Gryffin was the sole survivor of The Foundation's experimental project to transform human children into hybrid cyborgs - half human, half machine. The program failed and he was sent on a one way trip into The Outer Sector where he was left for dead. He has survived for twenty years by suppressing his human emotions and embracing his machine side.

Officer Terra Rush believes in her duty to the Foundation. The Sector needs to be prepared for colonization, and nothing can stop her from doing her job...except him. When Gryffin saves her from an attack, Terra uncovers a terrible secret. The Foundation has been lying to her...and maybe they still are. 

They have labelled Gryffin a killing machine, yet he acts more human than many of The Foundation's leaders. He has awakened intense feelings in Terra that throw her loyalties into question, and even though he pushes her away, she is determined to find out the truth about the cyborg program. 

Gryffin refuses to be a mindless soldier, yet escaping The Foundation's control and stopping the colonization of his home will require Terra's help. Can Gryffin overcome the machine inside and trust her? Or will getting in touch with his human emotions destroy him once and for all?

"Unique story and great writing

I am a sci fi fan and love the possibilities within the genre as there is so much that can be done with space travel, cyborgs, science, you name it. Author KA Finn has written a very unique and enjoyable story with ""Ares"" and I so hope that that this will be a continuing series. The story of two people - Gryffin, who is half machine half human and is the sole survivor of an experiment and thought to be long dead. The other is Terra, sent to deep space to scout for colonization when she meets Gryffin. The two would seem to be on opposite sides but an event brings them together, makes them allies and so much more. This was a very well written and well paced story that brought together two interesting characters and built up a very intense conflict. Great read.

A great sci-fi that kept me entertained, this is a novel that makes you want to read more.The story unfolds in the best possible manner and the characters are well developed. It was a joy to read. Kudos to K.A. Finn for writing such a great novel."
