Book excerpt: Chimera Chronicles: Undead Arms Race By: M.T. Murray Chimera Chronicles: Undead Arms Race is a wild mix of genres that wouldn’t normally go together—sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and comedy. The author’s favorite storytelling style is the epic, and this book is an attempt at a modernized version. The intention is for the story to sound sexy when read out loud. Majority of the jokes are written for veterans, but there are several dark pop-culture references too. The goal of this crusade is to help reduce the veteran suicide rate. Hopefully, it’ll shed a little light on what to watch out for so you don’t walk in on your homie slicing his wrists in a bathtub.
