Former Cyborg Corps soldier Jasim Antar was relieved to come out of the war alive and looked forward to switching to a less violent line of work. But nobody wants to hire a brawny cyborg to do anything that doesn’t involve brutalizing people on a daily basis. Stuck working as a debt collector alongside an eccentric pilot who enjoys knitting gifts for her grandkids when she isn’t blowing people up, Jasim longs to find a more peaceful existence.
But peace is elusive when you have a violent past. While on a routine mission, Jasim comes across the body of a soldier he served with during the war. He soon learns that someone is murdering former members of the Cyborg Corps, men who should be extremely difficult to kill. And he’s next on the list.
Jasim steels himself to reach out to the one person he’s certain can help, his old commander Colonel Leonidas Adler. Adler is strong, smart, and deadly, good traits to have in an ally. Unfortunately, he remembers Jasim as a misfit rather than a model soldier, and convincing him to join forces may be even tougher than finding and facing the killer.

I didn't know we were going to get to play in Leonidas and Alisa's world again, SO THIS IS FANTASTIC!That said, I didn't love Jasim as much as Alisa and her cyborg. Which isn't to say I didn't like him. I did. I just REALLY liked the push and pull between the captain and her grouchy cyborg. But we got to get into Leonidas's head, so there's that. Plus, a cyborg wearing sticker covered armor makes me grin.
But let's get back to Jasim. I felt for him. He was a smart guy who jumped at a chance to get out of a crappy situation and he ended up in a place he didn't quite fit in. After the war, no one saw him as more than just a man with metal parts and...well, it was tough. I can only imagine all the cyborgs are similarly hampered by what they'd become. Sure, some might make out better than others, but cyborgs are sort of universally hated and that makes finding a good job hard now.
Bottom line: I enjoyed being back in the world and I'm looking forward to the next set of adventures these cyborgs end up on.

Cyborg Legacy A Fallen Empire Novel eBook Lindsay Buroker Reviews
This standalone sci fi adventure takes place four years after End Game. Leonidis and Alisa are married and have three year old twins, as well as Alisa's daughter, Jelena. Leonidis is feeling a little hemmed in when he gets a call for help from another cyborg. Someone is killing cyborgs in alphabetical order and Leonidas' name is overdue. He packs up his sticker decorated armor and heads out to face an unknown foe, secretly excited to be back in the action. But the danger they face is unlike anything they could have expected, and much worse.
This book helps bridge the gap between End Game and The Rogue Prince, a spin-off series opener. There are still events mentioned in background in RP that aren't covered here, leaving me wanting another in between book to fill those holes.
Years after the war is over, someone is targeting cyborgs. Are the murders motivated by greed or something else ? Jhasim, a former member of cyborg corp, reduced to the position of hired muscle for a repo agent, stumbles upon the murder of a former colleague and discovers that all of the remaining cyborgs may be at risk. Jhasim enlists the help of Leonidas, his former commander to seek out the murderer. Leonidas, needing a break from the monotony of running freight, agrees to help put a stop to the murders . They have to convince Jhasim 's pilot to detour to a desert wasteland to search for the killer. What they find highlights the evils of war and how sometimes hostilities do not cease even after peace has been declared.
Lindsay Buroker is one of my favorite authors. She tells very engrossing SiFi and fantasy stories. She blends heart pumping action with some of the sharpest tongued sarcastic wit I have witnessed in a long time. The mix of the characters is as broad as the universe her stories are set in. Just when you figure you have the tale all wrapped up, she will twist your tail with a course change that will have you drop your assumptions and hang on for a new ride.
Oh, if you're looking for some of the steamiest love stories around, pick up some of her titles published under the pen name of Ruby Lionsdrake. I think the hard copies had to be printed on asbestos. Paper could never stand the heat.
I liked the unusual character concept for Jasim a cyborg ex-soldier who realized soon after signing his contract that he'd bound himself into a career that didn't fit him at all. Now that the war is years over, he's depressed again to find that too many people hate and/or fear cyborgs to even consider hiring him to teach children, despite his having earned a degree in hopes of balancing all the killing with doing some good. Until he meets Leonidas Adler, his once-disapproving commander, again, and learns of medical possibilities he hadn't imagined, he also thought teaching would be as close as he could come to having children of his own.
Our old friend Leonidas (Ahem, not *that* old!) is the other lead in the story, and he feels somewhat guilty about his eagerness to experience a bit of the conflict and action he's missed in his routine merchant-trader life, despite how much he loves his family. Worse, he even sees the hunt as a break from their own brand of chaos aboard the Star Nomad. It's really cute to see the kids putting stickers on his armor and all, but you can't really blame him.
He's much less open with Jasim than vice versa, as his respectful and regretful former subordinate seeks to explain his past and present. Leonidas frowned on his youthful pranks, and worse, his attempts to leave the Corps, since to Leonidas, honoring your word comes above all. However, we can see his opinion of the younger man evolve. I wish Jasim himself had more of a moment of gaining confidence, taking Leonidas's advice to fight for his dream, rather than simply accepting a suggestion that may give him part of it.
The grandmotherly but weapons-happy and lascivious pilot, Jasim's boss's mother-in-law, adds an amusing note, though she has to be bribed and persuaded to help.
The pursuit is fairly straightforward, if full of brawls and blasters. There are no red-herring twists, though there is an emotional one when the killer's motivations become clear, and there's one disappointment.
The denouement is Leonidas's happy homecoming, which leaves the reader with a smile.
I didn't know we were going to get to play in Leonidas and Alisa's world again, SO THIS IS FANTASTIC!
That said, I didn't love Jasim as much as Alisa and her cyborg. Which isn't to say I didn't like him. I did. I just REALLY liked the push and pull between the captain and her grouchy cyborg.
