Ghost of a Chance

By: Simon R. Green

Narrated by: Toby Leonard Moore

New York Times best-selling author Simon R. Green has crafted numerous acclaimed science-fiction and fantasy novels, including Blue Moon Rising, Blood and Honor, and Shadows Fall. In this first installment of the Ghost Finders series, JC Chance, Melody Chambers, and Happy Jack Palmer are agents of the Carnacki Institute - a place where the sole purpose is to “do something” about ghosts. But what exactly? Lay the spirits to rest? Send them along their merry way? Or maybe just kick some ghoulie butt?

They can't all be winners

Normally in my opinion Simon R. Greene writes gold with every series - Nightside, Blue Moon Rising, Secret Wars. All series I love and found utterly delightful. So it was shocking to actually be let down by one of his series. The book isn't bad, it's just next to his other works it's very blah. The hero's power, he has a good conversation with these ghosts. His companions a psychedelic psychic and a horny computer geek. Next to characters like Walker and Suzie Shooter these are just meh. And that about sums it up- meh.

Ghost of a Chance

I'm addicted to Simon R. Green; sometimes I haven't loved the narrators for his work, but Toby is very good. I wasn't sure there was going to be enough action in this book to keep me listening; but then the "Vampire Sharks" showed up and once again I was rivited. Go Simon!

Good but not great

Good book but ... I would try next one and hope for better. Not a bad read

I normally love Green's work, but...

This isn't his best work. It feels more like an early attempt then his more "finished" works like Nightside or Secret Histories. I plan on sticking through the series to see if it gets better.

If you liked Nightside you like this series

This is book one of the "Ghost" hunter series. typical Simon R Green. and the narrator does a fine job. Book two "Ghost of a Smile" was equally good and leaves off for another title. I enjoy SRG's stories and so far the narrators on the "Nightside" series and this on has been excellent. Well worth it for a SRG fan.
