Literary pop-cult fiction has a new hero Disquieting in a way that will haunt readers long after they've finished reading, Chameleon War by Andrew Crone is a rare blend of subtle nuance and flagrant aggression. This altogether original debut tethers a dark comedy, a mystery and a love story. The reader is taken on an unnerving ride from a tranquil seaside bar in Belize into the depths of an erotic and violent underworld in the jungles of Central America. When a novelist becomes embroiled in a secret battle between a drug lord and a renegade CIA agent, his fate slowly becomes indistinguishable from the obscure past of an international arms dealer and the amusing fictional constructs of his own mind. The divergent yet fiercely taut storylines deliver an incredibly satisfying journey into a surreal world governed by greed and deception where the stakes are high and the rules keep changing. Nothing is taken for granted in this wild, mind-altering escapade that seems destined to end in tragedy.
