review text: In this paper, the authors show a very interesting construction of a new even-dimensional action, which is a special version of a more general action, which includes gauge fermions and has the same original form as the standard Chern-Simons action. This action possesses a new type of gauge symmetry in the sense that the gauge transformations include anti- commutators and fermions are included as gauge fields.
