Showing results for "Chimera" in Suspense

When the Air National Guard receives an emergency call for help from a remote Arctic research station in Greenland, Senior Master Sergeant Dan Cameron is chosen to lead the rescue mission. In an attempt to combat climate change, the scientists have genetically engineered an aquatic biofilm capable of generating oxygen and lowering the temperature of the underlying seawater, producing environmental conditions that awaken an organism that has lain dormant beneath the ocean floor for millions of years.

What happens when science goes too far? Chimera Secrets feature five stories about genetically altered humans who find love. A Nurse for a Wolfman: Only love can tame the beast. Guarding the Mermaid: Love is even more slippery than this mermaid when wet. The Lionman Kidnapping: It’s not just his mane that’s impressive. A Chimera’s Revenge: A mad scientist. An even madder patient. A fiery kind of love. Capturing a Unicorn: Will he betray or save the world’s only unicorn?

Duty or love? Will a guard make the right choice? Becky needs a scoop to make her mark in the journalism world and gets her chance when she’s hired as a nurse for a top-secret clinic hidden in the Rockies. What she doesn’t expect is to become one of the patients and kept prisoner. The doctors are playing God and have found a way to change people. Change them into something else. In her case, she becomes a mermaid. The only one of her kind and about to be sold to the highest bidder unless she can convince the man guarding her to set her free.

It isn’t entirely shocking that a man like film producer Ari Goldstone would be found murdered in his hotel suite, naked and tied to the bedposts. Goldstone, after all, had a reputation for sexual misconduct and was already defending lawsuits brought by a dozen aggrieved starlets. But the brutality of the crime takes even veteran homicide detectives aback. More unsettling still are the DNA test results, which conclusively point to disgraced financier, Jimmy Kwan, the “Chinese Bernie Madoff” and father of one of Goldstone’s accusers.

Eine abgelegene militärische Forschungsstation sendet einen verzweifelten Notruf, doch als das Rettungsteam eintrifft, stoßen die Männer nur auf Leichen. Außerdem wurde jedes Lebewesen - selbst Bakterien - innerhalb von 75 Quadratkilometern ausgelöscht. Das Land ist völlig steril - und die Zone weitet sich aus! Als die Agenten der SIGMA-Force herausfinden, dass der Chefwissenschaftler entführt wurde, setzen sie alles daran, ihn aufzuspüren. Denn mit seiner Entdeckung kann man das Antlitz der Welt verändern - und dort wäre kein Platz mehr für die Menschheit.
