Chimera: краткое содержание, описание и аннотация

Предлагаем к чтению аннотацию, описание, краткое содержание или предисловие (зависит от того, что написал сам автор книги «Chimera»). Если вы не нашли необходимую информацию о книге — напишите в комментариях, мы постараемся отыскать её.

A mysterious and dangerous conspiracy deepens, threatening the superpowered Rangers and pushing Flex to join forces with one of her team's mortal enemies: a Bane called Chimera. Growing up with blue skin never made Rene "Flex" Duvall feel like at outcast. She learned early on to put people at ease with her wit and exuberant personality. So she's certainly not going to let her façade crack when she and her teammates suddenly face a new breed of genetically manipulated and brainwashed Metas: the well-trained teenage criminals known as the Recombinants. When a desperate battle leaves one of their friends wounded, Renee and Ethan follow a clue to Manhattan Island, where the Banes have been imprisoned. There they find a Bane named Chimera, who refuses to cooperate despite possessing information that could help them stop the Recombinants. Chimera's emotional scars are as devastating as Renee's physical scars, and soon the two find common ground in shared pain. Against her better judgment, Renee forms an alliance with this Bane. They both can gain much from working together, so the only question is who has more to lose by cooperating . . .

“I couldn’t terminate my own flesh and blood,” Switch had said. “So I smuggled you and your brother out and gave you to women who would love you. And as of the recording of this message, your brother James is still alive and well. If you ever want to meet him, he’s a mechanic in a little town called Franklin, North Carolina. To my knowledge, he’s never developed powers. He knows nothing about his origin. Telling him is up to you.”

She went on to apologize for what happened to Bethany and the other children. When she lost her powers at the end of the War, she was stuck in her other persona—becoming Uncle and refocusing on those kids was her way of coping with the loss. She was furious when the Overseer discovered Dahlia was alive and demanded her execution this past June. She was equally furious when the mission resulted in the deaths of three of the five hybrid-Changelings. Everything was spiraling out of control.

“I could no longer blindly follow the Overseer’s orders,” Switch had said at the end of the video. “And I have no place in your world. I hope you can accept this gift, Dahlia. I’ve seen enough of my children die. Good luck.”

So poor Dahlia was Switch’s biological offspring, and she had a twin brother out there in the backwoods of North Carolina, blissfully unaware that he was a science experiment gone wrong. Or right, depending on your point of view. I doubted she would contact James until the Overseer was neutralized as a threat. Dahlia would never purposely make him a target of the Overseer and his wrath. If the Overseer didn’t know where he was, all the better for everyone.

“Is Sasha still squawking about feeling trapped here?” I asked.

“Yes, and honestly, I don’t think it’s a terrible idea for her and her team to leave. We have the resources, and more than enough people.”

Sasha reminded me of Teresa in more ways than one, including her stubborn independence. She wanted her people to learn and to train, but she also didn’t want to stay here permanently. Teresa was floating the idea of returning a team presence to the West Coast, maybe in the Pacific Northwest area. Sasha jumped at the suggestion. I admitted that it had merit.

I missed the West Coast.

Two figures crossed the far side of the lawn, hunched against the chilly air, deep in conversation. I grinned at the sight of them together, both ambulatory and smiling. Landon had been officially released from the infirmary a few days ago, and he was healing well. And Derek had returned just yesterday, after being officially and fully pardoned by the United States government for all past crimes.

We’d had quite the reunion and celebration last night.

I’d briefly floated the West Coast idea to Derek, and he’d been intrigued. Getting Landon away from here for a while was a good idea, he’d said, because of Bethany. Seeing her body walking around with someone else inside was hell on him. I didn’t relish the notion of leaving my friends for the other side of the country, but going with Derek wouldn’t be so bad.

“I take it you two are doing fine,” Teresa said, tilting her chin in Derek’s direction.

“More than fine.” My cheeks warmed. “I have to admit, T, never in a million years did I think I’d fall for an ex-Bane.” And I was falling hard.

“I never thought a lot of things would happen. It’s been a hell of a year.”

“Amen. And we haven’t even made it through the election yet.”

She snorted harshly through her nose. “Don’t remind me.”

Gage walked across the snow-dusted field and stopped to talk with Derek and Landon. Next to me, Teresa tensed enough that I noticed. Gage turned to go and spotted us. He froze. The look he and Teresa shared was indecipherable—like the momentary glance of two perfect strangers wondering if they happened to know each other. And like strangers who realize they aren’t acquainted, they both looked away.

“What was that about?” I asked.

Teresa sagged against the bench. “Gage and I had a pretty big fight last night.”

Oh, crap. “About what? Splitting the teams?”

“I wish it was that simple.”

“Then what is it?”

She looked at me, so uncertain and confused it broke my heart a little even before she spoke two words that changed everything: “I’m pregnant.”
