    Rika is mech-meat...
    A cyborg killing machine, created by the Genevian military and cast aside when the war was lost.
    Now she slings cargo on Dekar Station, falling deeper in debt as she struggles to make enough money to keep her cybernetic body functioning. The local gangs would love to have her join their ranks, and the takings would pay her bills, but the only thing Rika hates more than what she's become, is killing for others.
    But morals don't buy repairs and she's at the point of utter desperation when her loan holder cashes in her debt and sells her to the highest bidder.
    When Rika wakes, she's in a warehouse on a planet she's never heard of, and a trio of mercenaries are reassembling her body. Their mission is to kill the world's president, and her mods and abilities are just what they need to get the job done.
    Whether she likes it or not, Rika is in the business of killing once more as she joins the ranks of the Marauders.

    I really enjoyed these books, one of the better space opera series out there. Also since you offered them for free here on UA-cam I popped on over to Audible and bought the pub pack of all the Rika books to support the auther even though I've listened to this series at least 3 times. After I bought the Rika series I looked up M.D. Cooper on Audible and found another series staring one Tanis Richards/ Tangel , starting with The Intrepid Saga and then the Orion War Series. still haven't gotten around to Origins of Destiny yet but it is in my library waiting for when I get the time.
    The narrator for the Rika series is Laura Jennings, one of the top 5 greatest narrators of all time in my book. I think I could listen to Laura read the ingredients off a box of corn flakes and be enthralled lol. Laura brought these books to life like no one else could have IMHO.
    Thank You Aeon 14 !!!

      I'm reminded of stroggification from the "Quake" universe. Harrowing stuff. Humans are carved apart, fitted with brain dampeners and other bits of metal - then let loose on a battlefield almost within the same day
      In one of the "Quake" videogames theres a cutscene where you can watch it partially happen to your character. It's about as disturbing to watch as you'd expect.

      So true. I forget how the narrator pronounced it, but it's a French word, so it's pronounced Sah-bo. The t is silent :)
      However, in some English countries, it's pronounced "Sah-but"
