The Recommended Reading Order for Eve Langlais’ Cyborgs
To fully appreciate the world-building, character growth, and the overarching rebellion plotline, it is highly recommended to read the series in publication order. While each book focuses on a different couple, the narrative builds chronologically, tracing the cyborgs' collective escape from military enslavement and their fight for freedom.
Publication and Chronological Order of the Cyborgs Series
- C791 (2012) – The story that starts it all. It follows Joe (unit X109GI), a cyborg searching for his origins, who sparks a revolution alongside human scientist Chloe.
- F814 (2012) – Focuses on Fiona, a rare female cyborg raised to believe she is just a droid, whose true humanity is awakened by a cyborg named Solus.
- B785 (2013) – Tells the tale of Einstein (unit B785), a geeky and highly logical cyborg, and Bonnie, a fiery human woman who teaches him about passion.
- Aramus (2013) – Features Aramus, a battle-hardened cyborg harboring deep resentment toward humanity, who finds redemption and love with Dr. Margaret, a fragile doctor he rescues.
- Seth (2014) – A second-chance romance focusing on Seth, a cheeky cyborg reunited with his wife, Anastasia, as they navigate military manipulation and past traumas.
- Adam (2015) – Follows Adam, the leader of the cyborg resistance on Earth, who is forced to choose between his mission and the life of a human scientist he has been ordered to protect.
- Avion (2015) – The series finale. It features Avion, a dying cyborg whose nanites are failing, and his high-stakes mission to save the enigmatic woman known only as One.
What to Know Before You Start
Eve Langlais’ Cyborgs: More Than Machines series is a fast-paced blend of sci-fi romance, action, and the author's signature playful humor. The premise is set in a futuristic world where humans are biomechanically enhanced and stripped of their memories to serve as military cannon fodder. As they gain sentience, they escape, rename themselves, and struggle to reclaim their humanity, identities, and rights.
Readers should expect high heat levels (steamy romance) alongside military conspiracy subplots, spacecraft action, and alpha heroes who are fiercely protective of their partners.
Can the Books Be Read as Standalones?
Technically, each novel features a self-contained love story with a guaranteed Happily Ever After (HEA). However, because the underlying plot involving the rebel cyborg alliance, the corrupt military corporation, and the fight for freedom progresses from one book to the next, reading them out of order will expose major spoilers. For the best experience, start at the beginning with C791.
Are There Related Series or Spin-offs?
Unlike some of Eve Langlais’ popular paranormal romance worlds (such as her interconnected "Point" shifter universe or "Hell" series), the Cyborgs: More Than Machines series is a self-contained, seven-book arc. It concludes with Avion, and there are no official spin-offs or direct sequels. If you enjoy her sci-fi romance style, you can check out her independent sci-fi romance series like Alien Abduction or Alien Mate.
