Book excerpt: Welcome to Level Five where chimeras are created but never controlled. Rufus has been taking care of Prin and Lee all his life. They're all he has and he's all they've got too. Maybe he should be thankful for having a warm, dry place to sleep at night in the laboratory but the smells and sounds…It's enough to make him miss the streets. Something's not right with this place and the shots they're being given more than hurt. They're changing him, cell by cell. He needs to get them all out of there fast. Prin's pregnant and none of them have any idea what these shots are going to do to her baby. Book four in the Chimera Chronicles is a stand-alone dystopian, genetic engineering story about human-animal hybrids. It’s fantasy science fiction that’ll make you question who the real monsters are. Whether you’re an animal rights activist or just love your pets, this book will make you root for those in the laboratory.
