Quimera Publishing has announced the release of 'The Quimera Codes – A Novel of Political Fiction' by Russell Rutland McGuire Jr., a work that intricately weaves together elements of political intrigue, historical accuracy, and a star-crossed romance. The novel, set against the backdrop of decades of political history, follows the journey of Frank Standard, an ex-Army Captain turned private consultant, and Zara De Leon from the NSA, as they navigate a dangerous mission to prevent a nuclear disaster.
McGuire's approach to storytelling, as explained in the afterword, involves setting his narrative in real-world contexts while populating it with fictional characters. This method allows 'The Quimera Codes' to explore complex themes such as the rise of anti-democratic elites and the fragility of democracy, all within the framework of a fast-paced political thriller. The novel's 41 chapters and epilogue, totaling 72,248 words, promise a quick yet deeply engaging read.
The book has already garnered praise from Gerry Jonas, a former New York Times book critic, who commended the manuscript for its compelling narrative and relatable protagonist. 'The Quimera Codes' not only entertains but also invites readers to reflect on the current state of democracy in the United States, making it a timely and significant contribution to political fiction.
Available on Amazon.com in both Kindle and paperback formats, 'The Quimera Codes' offers a heart-pounding journey through espionage, romance, and the high stakes of national security. The novel's release underscores Quimera Publishing's commitment to delivering thought-provoking and meticulously researched fiction that resonates with contemporary issues.
