When I write about weapons in fiction, I’m not coming from a place as an outsider looking in on creative writing. Far from it. I keep at that keyboard like anyone else, and I open myself up to the same criticism that others endure from me. That doesn’t make me perfect, but it does mean I’m not full of crap when I talk about these topics.

The latest example is Chase Baker & the Humanzees from Hell, available now at Amazon. It’s the eighth installment in a series started by award-winning mystery/thriller writer Vincent Zandri. Not those back alley awards, either, like the ones I give out. We’re talking the real deal.

Humanzees marks my third contribution to the series, and it’s by far my favorite of the three. I always say that about my new releases, but this time I mean it. Until the next one comes out. Here’s the synopsis:

Fact: In the 1920s, a Soviet scientist attempted to mate humans and chimpanzees to create “humanzees.”

Fact: Forty years later, an apparent human-ape hybrid surfaced in the United States in the sideshow circuit, dubbed the “Minnesota Iceman.”

How are these two far-fetched and seemingly unrelated events connected? Adventurer and Renaissance man Chase Baker is hot on the trail of the shocking truth in “Chase Baker & the Humanzees from Hell.”

After a dying man’s last words lead him to a Minnesota Iceman exhibit in a museum of bizarre artifacts, Chase quickly learns that the old Soviet program to breed humans and chimpanzees never ended. It’s up to him to stop the development of “humanzee” super-soldiers that could serve as the catalyst for World War III. Standing in his way are biker gangs, a mad scientist and a greedy museum owner with her own ax to grind.

Can Chase stop the humanzee super-soldiers before World War III breaks out? Or will he wind up a victim of the hybrid experiments themselves? Find out in “Chase Baker & the Humanzees from Hell.” It’s perfect for fans of Clive Cussler, Dan Brown and JR Rain.

What the Hell is a “Humanzee?”

It’s a cross between a human and a chimpanzee. If you’ve never seen one before, don’t worry. I’ve never been to a Golden Corral, either.
