From Translator's Preface
Here in 'Chimera' the writer has artistically cultured in Sci-fi, a popular hype in media about scientists tracing the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic who believe they've identified a possible transmission source: China's thriving wildlife trade.The writer has explored the elements of literature with the deftness, as of a microbiologist using the bacteriological culture methods.

'Chimera' is the third organism formed by the fusion of two different cells.Chimera is a science fiction novel that abandons traditional allusions, creates an artistic circle around the angular center of the naked reality of the hidden war of science and technology, and explores the inhumane values of China and the United States of America, which seek to become superpowers by endangering human existence.The novel exposes China's many immoral, dangerous, and treacherous possibilities. Chimera probably should be the first novel to introduce Marathi literature to this hidden third world war, China's inhuman ambitions, war-mongering policies and arrogant nationalism imposed on the world by the virus. This novel with a global focus, I am sure will appeal to the english readers as well.
