I saw the bust of Nefertiti once. If the two women could stand side by side, Nefertiti would look like Zoe Domingo s geeky kid sister. Many thoughts went through my head. Next thing, Zoe has hired a detective and the pair is brawling with the local muscle. But don t get me wrong, if you know any Romantic Times fans, you ought to send Chimera their way.
Laws govern the treatment of human employees, and to a lesser degree, chimeras.
But you can still buy an intelligent machine for the sole purpose of hammering it into junk or shooting it dead. Enter one scientist, Janna Gold, who bucks the system by adopting Zoe as her daughter and setting her free. Gold s murder and Domingo s framing for said murder is what sets the legal forces into action. Determined to find the real killer Zoe hires Chase before he realizes she s a chimera. Shetterly serves up fast action presented with clarity and peppered with humor.
