Escaped Germline soldiers need to be cleaned up, and Stan Resnick is the best man for the job. A job that takes him to every dark spot and every rat hole he can find.
Operatives from China and Unified Korea are gathering escaped or stolen Russian and American genetics, and there are reports of new biological nightmares: half-human things, bred to live their entire lives encased in powered armor suits.
Stan fights to keep himself alive and out of prison while he attempts to capture a genetic, one who will be able to tell him everything he needs to know about an newer threat, the one called "Project Sunshine."
Chimera is the third and final volume of The Subterrene War Trilogy, which tells the story of a single war from the perspective of three different combatants. The first two volumes, GERMLINE and EXOGENE, are available now.

The final novel of The Subterrene War trilogy (4.5 stars)
By TChris
The war is over (or so it appears) but Stanley Resnick is still fighting. His job -- the only element of his life that brings him joy -- is to track down and destroy rogue Germlines, the genetically engineered female warriors who have chosen not to meet their scheduled deaths. The Germlines are designed to spoil like rotting meat after two years, but Germlines are starting to appear who, long after their expiration date, show no signs of spoilage. Of course, you know that if you read Germline, the first novel in The Subterrene War trilogy (if you haven't read Germline, you should, both to give context to Chimera and because it is an excellent novel).
Resnick is assigned to track down Margaret, a Germline last seen in Exogene. The hope is that Margaret will lead Resnick to Dr. Chen, who is suspected of deactivating the Germlines' safety protocols, thus granting them continued life. The hitch: Margaret has become a religious icon in Thailand. Together with her protégé Lucy, Margaret lives under the protection of the Thai government, while Catherine (who died in Exogene) has achieved a status akin to sainthood. Resnick undertakes the assignment with the help of Jihoon Kim, a linguist and analyst whose former job involved keeping track of borderline psychopaths like Resnick.
Chimera sharpens the conflict between humans and the Germlines (who consider themselves closer to God than the nonbred) while adding another sort of soldier bred in tanks, this one a creation of the Chinese, an abomination that lives its life within an armored suit, an enemy of humans and Germlines alike. Margaret, in turn, has created a group of followers called the Gra Jaai -- nonbred humans who nonetheless revere Catherine and learn "how to get closer to God through killing." Nothing could be less human than the Chinese genetics, yet Lucy wonders whether they have a soul, while Resnick can't imagine that Lucy has one. As was true of the first two novels, questions of religion and the meaning of life and death pervade the story. Chimera adds a new question: whether humanity (whatever we mean by that term) is really worth fighting for.
T.C. McCarthy is a master of characterization. His readers will not be disappointed by his newest creation. Resnick is so acclimated to combat that crazy is normal. Resnick no longer fits safely within civilian society -- not that American society, with its complete lack of privacy, is a place he really wants to be. Everything is a war to Resnick because war is all he knows. He finds it easy to kill Germlines -- he is, in fact, addicted to it -- and his ever-present anger is easily displaced, making him a threat to pretty much everyone. Still, McCarthy never settles for a simplistic characterization. Resnick is thus torn by conflict: he loves and hates war; he feels the need to protect and to abandon the son he didn't father; his instinct is to kill Margaret yet he questions that desire as he comes to understand her.
McCarthy has given careful thought to the geopolitics of the messed up future he's created. There's sort of an Apocalypse Now/Heart of Darkness feel to the story, with Margaret playing the role of Kurtz, right down to the corpses staked to poles in her jungle compound. The jungle has a life and a madness of its own. As always, McCarthy's combat imagery is vivid. Battle scenes are tense; the combatants' fear is palpable. Throughout the novel, McCarthy's prose is electrically charged.
Each novel in the trilogy has its own strengths. Germline has the most poignant character. Exogene has the best action. Chimera reveals the big picture and raises serious philosophical questions. I'm not sure which of the three I like best (there's plenty of characterization, action, and philosophy in each), although I had the strongest emotional response to Germline. I recommend them all, not just to fans of military science fiction but to any reader who appreciates good storytelling.

Would Buy - And Just Ordered the Other Two in the Series
By Mutive
Chimera is the kind of book that reminds me why I love reading. It didn't change my life or make me think new and amazing things (hence the 4 vs. 5 stars), but it was a legitimately enjoyable ride from beginning to end. I suspect that virtually anyone who likes military science fiction set in distopian worlds will really enjoy it.
The plot is beautifully paced and quite engaging. Stan Resnick (code named Bug)'s job is cleaning up satos - teenaged girls genetically engineered to be perfect warriors. It's pretty much all he knows how to do, as evidenced by repeated failures to deal with civilian life. (Which are drawn out in a way that makes you feel genuinely sympathetic to him, while leaving virtually no doubt as to why his wife would leave him as soon as she got the chance.) At some point, he's called onto a new mission - to follow around Jihoon, a previously office bound intelligence analyst - to figure out what would cause the Koreans to break a treaty against genetic research with a mysterious project code named "Sunshine". Their adventures take them about the globe and eventually ally them with the most unlikely of people - a group of satos set on a holy crusade that is intertwined with Sunshine and more grotesque experiments on the part of the Chinese. This may not inherently sound all that exciting - but the plot had me riveted, with unexpected twists and turns and enough tension that I found myself repeatedly saying, "Just one more chapter before I go to sleep..."
More than the plot, though, I legitimately liked the characters. Bug was utterly believable as a cold, jaded killer who hopes for more...yet sort of realizes that he's almost as perfect a killing machine as the girls he hunts. Despite in many ways being an abhorrent character, he's sympathetic, with hints as to how he became the monster he is. (And this is hard to do - so many writers tackling a similar character would make them utterly unsympathetic or some sort of emo pity case. This didn't happen here, which I suspect is very hard to do, considering how many times I've seen similar characters fail.) His partner, Jihoon, is also delightfully fleshed out, as a weasly bureaucrat who is in waaay over his head. (Although I might have liked more insight as to his motives and desires, as he struck me as an interesting character who never got the time to fully bloom.)
The world is also well fleshed out, with technologies that feel utterly plausible and a totalitarian government that felt believable. While it's not really new ground (apocalyptic, totalitarian worlds with genetically engineered monstrosities isn't exactly an idea that's never been considered in science fiction), the degree of detail and the realism of the details differentiated Chimera from a lot of books that had me rolling my eyes with their bad technology or world building.
So my over all review is that I really liked this book. (Enough that I bought the earlier two in the series and would highly recommend it to anyone who likes this sort of novel.) It's intelligent, realistic, gruesome and a highly enjoyable read that's hard to put down from beginning to end.

Enjoyable Series
By Lawndart37
I bought the first book in this series, GERMLINE, on a whim. I have to say that the first one grabbed me and I had to read the rest. I enjoyed this book because it closed out the perspectives of the 3 main personalities found in the series. The first book covered the reporter turned battle-hardened Soldier. The second was a genetically modified female Soldier's perspective. This book focused on the Special Forces Soldiers, whose job is to hunt down the modified females after they reach their expiration date (kind of like Blade Runner).
The author is really good at keeping the action going, while developing the main character so that you can empathize with them. It is easy to see how Bug (the main character) can go from a man whose sole purpose in life is to kill modified females to understanding why they want to live and not just die in battle. He learns that there is more to life than mindless duty to one's orders.
I found the author good at presenting the battles in a pretty thorough manner without bogging you down in detail. One short coming is that you had to kind of learn the scope of the current level of technology as you read. You read about weapons with capabilities that are hard to "wrap you brain around" when you think in todays levels. I know this is sci-fi but it seems like the not too distant future. Plus the author doesn't provide much of the back story so it is had to comprehend the stat of the world and how it got there.
All in all, I would strongly recommend this book and it's two predecessors.
