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.
