Whispers of Chimera - A Darkening past

Gian-Marko Chavez

Publisher: BookRix

Summary

 In the flickering shadows of a city haunted by whispers,  Ethan Hart walks a perilous line between reality and manipulation.  A veteran scarred by war and the echoes of past battles,  he is the silent guardian,  the only one who hears the chilling melody of Project Chimera 2. 0 – a bioweapon designed to twist minds and turn citizens into unwitting pawns. 
 Allied with Veronica Leigh,  a fiery activist wielding her voice like a weapon,  Ethan embarks on a desperate mission to dismantle the Puppeteer's digital symphony.  They navigate labyrinthine firewalls and battle anonymous puppeteers pulling the strings of public opinion.  But the enemy is more than code and algorithms; it's a virus of misinformation,  weaving fabricated realities that threaten to tear the city apart. 
 As the battle escalates,  Ethan faces a chilling choice:  expose the Puppeteer and risk unleashing chaos,  or let the echoes of control continue to manipulate the city under the veil of silence.  His every step reverberates with the ghosts of past victories and failures,  urging him forward into a dance with the shadows,  where the fate of the city hangs by a thread of truth. 
 In Whispers of Chimera,  prepare to plunge into a world where technology is the weapon,  the mind the battlefield,  and the shadows hold the secrets to both salvation and annihilation.  Join Ethan Hart in a symphony of suspense,  where every whisper could be a lie,  every truth a weapon,  and the only hope lies in deciphering the echoes before they drown out the city's soul.

Top 10 Short Stories The -...

Charlotte Perkins Gilman, George...

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

In this volume we examine Gothic short stories from the woman’s point of view. More usually in this genre the main examples are almost always given as male. Well, in this volume we prove that view needs severely testing. Here we explore works by classic women authors who, with the sheer breadth of their talents and narratives, can make mere men seem tame by comparison.
