Ghosts in the Machine

The Forgotten Ship, Book 4

De: J.N. Chaney, Terry Mixon

Narrado por: Jeffrey Kafer

A whisper in the empty dark.

The Authority has been driven off, but Drake and Yukiko still have a lot of problems in search of solutions. And then there is the deepening mystery of Those Who Came Before. Evidence is starting to suggest that they are not what everyone here thought. They are likely not the ones who built the alien travel network that brought them here and trapped them.

A half-seen form that vanishes when you look.

As Drake and Yukiko work to stymie their enemies and make a home away from home for humanity, they have to wrestle with new questions. Worse, it seems as if the long departed aliens might not be so departed as everyone believes. Do they have an agenda? If so, can they be reasoned with before they make everything much, much worse?

Continuation of a very good series

I'm enjoying this series, but after 4 books in a row, I need a break. I'll come back for book 5. Creative and interesting plot lines.

A big nothing burger

I’d say this book is a wasted installment. I’ve never seen the plot of a story advanced so slowly in one whole book. There are brief bouts of action that are fairly non-descriptive and the everyday moments that the book tries to portray leave you wanting more detail. If you’re going to fall short of an action packed series, then the least you could do is provide some intriguing and in-depth day-to-day diatribe. This book feels like a thrown together vain attempt to keep the blood flowing in a dying series. The narrator may be the only thing that comes close to keeping this book from sinking completely. Chaney may have too many irons in the fire.
