Fall Prey: The Attack
A raging cybernetic beast capable of crushing armies has broken free from its prison and rampages across the land. Legion 96, a government sanctioned, anti-vampire paramilitary force, is responsible for the monster’s escape and now must rush to capture it before it causes any lasting damage. Cyrus Blackthorn may be the only one who can confront the creature. Spared death by the efforts of CyberGen, a bioengineering corporation, Cyrus has undergone a series of anatomical changes and is now nearly unkillable. He must lead the Legion to their quarry, all the while watching for the agents of Atropos, a criminal organization made up of living vampires. Additionally, Cyrus has a personal stake in the hunt. The beast was once his brother, Talon.
Meanwhile, Cyrus’s youngest brother, Asher Blackthorn, now a fully trained soldier, is having a difficult time accepting his transformation. However, he has little time to dwell on his doubts, as his work with the Legion has intensified. Equipped with new intel, the Legion is operating at an accelerated pace as the soldiers eliminate several of Atropos’s highest-ranking members. The missions are almost too easy, making it seem as though the vampiric organization is purging itself of all weak links. The vampires may be finally closing in on their ultimate the total overthrow of humanity.

I went into this book expecting high octane action, but what I got was a surprisingly layered and emotionally charged story that stuck with me long after I finished the last page.
From the opening chapters, the concept of a cybernetic beast rampaging across the land instantly hooked me but the real power of the story lies in its characters. Cyrus Blackthorn is a compelling lead: nearly unkillable, visibly altered by CyberGen’s experiments, and carrying the unbearable weight of knowing the monster he’s hunting was once his own brother, Talon. That emotional conflict gives every confrontation real stakes, turning what could have been a straightforward sci-fi action plot into something deeply personal and haunting.
Legion 96 is equally fascinating. As a government sanctioned anti vampire paramilitary force, they operate in a morally gray space that the author isn’t afraid to explore. Their frantic race to recapture the beast they accidentally unleashed adds tension, while the looming presence of Atropos a criminal organization of living vampires keeps the threat level sky high. The idea that the vampires may be intentionally purging their weakest members is chilling, and the “too easy” missions create a constant sense of unease that something far worse is coming.
Asher Blackthorn’s storyline adds another strong layer. Watching him struggle with his transformation while trying to prove himself as a fully trained soldier made him feel incredibly human. His inner conflict contrasts beautifully with the relentless pace of the Legion’s operations and highlights the cost of survival in this brutal world.
The blend of cybernetics, vampiric mythology, military action, and family tragedy is handled with confidence and originality. The pacing is sharp, the world building feels expansive without being overwhelming, and the emotional core grounds all the chaos.
This book delivers intense action, dark sci-fi horror, and meaningful character arcs in equal measure. If you enjoy stories with futuristic warfare, morally complex factions, and family bonds tested under extreme circumstances, this is an absolute must read. Highly recommended.

This book is an absolute powerhouse. From the opening pages to the final confrontation, it delivers relentless action, deep emotional stakes, and a richly imagined world that feels both terrifying and exhilarating.
The concept alone is gripping a cybernetic beast capable of leveling armies, a government sanctioned anti vampire force, and a morally complex hero who is nearly unkillable yet deeply human. But what truly elevates this story is its heart. Cyrus Blackthorn isn’t just hunting a monster he’s chasing the shattered remains of his own family. The revelation that the beast was once his brother, Talon, adds a devastating emotional weight that lingers through every battle and decision Cyrus makes.
The world building is sharp and immersive. Legion 96 feels real brutal, efficient, and constantly walking the line between protector and destroyer. The blend of cybernetic enhancement, bioengineering, and vampiric horror creates a unique sci-fi atmosphere that stands out from anything else I’ve read in the genre. The presence of CyberGen and the shadowy influence of Atropos add layers of political intrigue and unease that keep you questioning everyone’s motives.
Asher Blackthorn’s arc is equally compelling. Watching him struggle with his transformation while being thrown into increasingly intense missions gives the story emotional balance and depth. The Legion’s suspiciously “easy” victories are chilling, and the slow realization that the vampires may be orchestrating something far bigger kept me on edge the entire time.
This book doesn’t just rely on action, it builds tension, explores identity and loss, and asks hard questions about power, humanity, and sacrifice. Every chapter pushes the story forward with purpose, and the ending left me desperate for more.
If you love dark sci-fi, cyberpunk elements, military action, and morally complex characters, this is a must read. It’s fast, brutal, emotional, and incredibly smart. Five stars without hesitation.

This book absolutely blew me away. It’s packed with nonstop action, dark sci-fi elements, and a story that goes far deeper than its explosive battles.
From the opening chapter, the concept of a cybernetic beast powerful enough to crush armies immediately pulls you in. But what makes this story unforgettable is the emotional weight behind the action. Cyrus Blackthorn isn’t just hunting a monster he’s hunting what’s left of his brother. That revelation alone raises the stakes and gives every encounter a sense of tragedy, loyalty, and desperation.
Cyrus is a fascinating protagonist. His transformation through CyberGen makes him nearly unkillable, yet he remains deeply human, constantly wrestling with guilt, responsibility, and the fear of what he’s become. Leading Legion 96 feels less like a privilege and more like a burden, and that tension is written incredibly well.
Asher’s storyline adds another powerful layer. Watching him struggle to accept his own transformation while being thrown into increasingly dangerous missions made his chapters some of my favorites. The Legion’s rapid success against Atropos is unsettling in the best way the sense that something is wrong builds steadily, creating a slow burn dread that kept me turning pages late into the night.
The world building is sharp and immersive. The mix of cybernetic experimentation, paramilitary warfare, and vampiric conspiracy feels fresh and brutal. Atropos is especially chilling not just because of their power, but because of how calculated and patient their plan to overthrow humanity appears.
This book balances action with emotion, spectacle with substance. It asks big questions about identity, sacrifice, and how far we’re willing to go to protect those we love even when they’ve become something unrecognizable.
If you enjoy dark sci-fi, cyberpunk vibes, military thrillers, or morally complex characters, this is a must read. I couldn’t put it down and immediately wanted more when it ended.

This book is an absolute knockout. I went in expecting a fast-paced sci-fi action story and what I got was that and a deeply emotional, character driven narrative that kept me hooked from start to finish.
The idea of a cybernetic beast capable of annihilating armies is terrifying on its own, but the emotional gut punch comes when you learn the monster is Talon, Cyrus Blackthorn’s brother. That revelation instantly elevates the story from a simple hunt to a heartbreaking and complex mission filled with guilt, loyalty, and impossible choices.
Cyrus is a compelling protagonist. His transformation through CyberGen makes him nearly unkillable, yet the story never lets him lose his humanity. Leading Legion 96 feels heavy with responsibility, and the constant threat of Atropos’s vampire operatives keeps the tension razor sharp. Every encounter feels dangerous and meaningful.
Asher’s storyline adds another strong layer to the book. His struggle to accept his own transformation while being thrown into increasingly intense missions makes him incredibly relatable. The Legion’s suspiciously easy victories against Atropos are brilliantly unsettling, creating a slow building sense of dread that something far more sinister is unfolding.
The world building is rich and immersive, blending cybernetic experimentation, paramilitary warfare, and vampiric conspiracy in a way that feels fresh and original. The pacing is excellent never dragging, never rushed and the stakes continue to rise with every chapter.
This book delivers action, suspense, and emotional depth in equal measure. It’s smart, dark, and thrilling, with characters that linger in your mind long after you’ve finished reading.

This book is a masterclass in high stakes, fast paced storytelling. From the very first chapter, I was completely pulled into a world of cybernetic beasts, paramilitary missions, and a shadowy vampiric conspiracy that kept me on the edge of my seat.

The world-building is excellent, seamlessly blending cybernetic enhancements, vampire lore, and intense military operations into a vivid, immersive universe. The pacing is relentless, the battles are cinematic, and the stakes escalate perfectly toward a gripping climax.

January 21, 2026

January 21, 2026

January 21, 2026

The cybernetic beast is a terrifying antagonist, made even more tragic by its connection to Cyrus. The pacing is relentless, but moments of reflection, particularly through Asher’s character, prevent the story from feeling one-dimensional. The looming threat of a vampiric uprising keeps the stakes high. Fall Prey: The Attack is an engaging and thought-provoking sci-fi adventure.
January 22, 2026
This book grabbed me from the opening chapter and never loosened its grip. The blend of cybernetic horror, military action, and vampire mythology is executed flawlessly. Cyrus Blackthorn is a deeply compelling protagonist nearly unkillable, yet emotionally shattered by the truth of what his brother has become. The idea that the rampaging beast is once human, once family, adds a heartbreaking layer to every confrontation. The pacing is relentless, the action cinematic, and the moral questions linger long after the final page. Easily one of the most gripping sci-fi reads I’ve had in years.
January 22, 2026
What impressed me most was how this story balances explosive action with genuine emotional depth. Legion 96 feels like a real, dangerous organization efficient, morally gray, and constantly on the brink of collapse. Cyrus’s struggle isn’t just physical; it’s psychological, and the author doesn’t shy away from the trauma of survival and transformation. The revelation surrounding Talon is devastating, and the book forces you to confront whether mercy still exists in a world driven by weapons and monsters. A masterfully told story.
January 22, 2026
I wasn’t sure how cybernetic monsters and vampires would coexist, but this book proves the combination can be phenomenal. Atropos is one of the most intriguing antagonistic forces I’ve encountered strategic, patient, and terrifyingly intelligent. The way the vampires manipulate events from the shadows while humanity thinks it’s winning is chilling. Asher’s internal conflict adds another powerful layer, showing the cost of becoming a soldier in a world that’s constantly rewriting what it means to be human. Brilliant world building and sharp storytelling.
January 22, 2026
Legion 96 is such a well crafted concept that I immediately wanted more stories set in this universe. The military operations feel authentic, tactical, and dangerous, while the cybernetic horror elements keep the stakes terrifyingly high. The beast itself is more than just a monster it’s a symbol of everything that can go wrong when power replaces humanity. Cyrus is a standout hero, flawed and fierce, and his internal struggle elevates the story far beyond a standard action thriller.
January 22, 2026
This book hits hard. The action scenes are intense and cinematic, but it’s the emotional moments that truly stayed with me. The slow realization that Atropos may be intentionally sacrificing its own members is chilling and brilliantly executed. Asher’s storyline is especially compelling his doubts, his discipline, and his fear of what he’s becoming add a deeply human perspective to the chaos. I found myself constantly questioning who the real monsters were. A powerful, unforgettable read.
January 22, 2026
Despite the cybernetics and vampires, this world feels grounded in very real fears unchecked corporations, weaponized science, and governments willing to sacrifice individuals for the greater good. CyberGen’s role is particularly unsettling, blurring the line between salvation and exploitation. The writing is sharp, descriptive, and confident, and the author clearly trusts the reader to keep up. This book doesn’t spoon feed answers, and that makes it all the more rewarding.
January 22, 2026
Every element of this story feels intentional. The beast’s rampage is terrifying, but knowing its origin makes every scene emotionally complex. Cyrus isn’t just fighting an enemy, he’s fighting his past. The pacing is excellent, escalating naturally while allowing moments of reflection that deepen the characters. Atropos is terrifying not because of brute force, but because of its patience and strategy. This is intelligent, emotionally rich science fiction at its best.
January 22, 2026
So many action heavy sci-fi books forget to develop their characters this one absolutely does not. Cyrus, Asher, and even secondary Legion members feel fully realized. Their fears, doubts, and loyalties matter. The book explores what it costs to keep fighting when the line between weapon and person disappears. By the time the final confrontations arrive, you’re fully invested, heart racing and emotionally exhausted in the best possible way.
