Ghostworld

Rating:
Summary: Chilling sci-fi!
Review: From the first chapter, Ghostworld fills the reader with a sense of dread as Captain John Silence is sent by the Empire to find out why contact has been lost with the Base 13 mining facility, located on the scorched world of Unseeli. Silence is familiar with the planet, because he once ordered the desruction of the inhabitants, who had opposed the Empire. This order seemed successful in killing the Ashrai of Unseeli... at least physically. What Silence and his crew find inside Base 13 is an evil straight out of our worst nightmares which, if not destroyed, could lead to the downfall of the entire Empire. Ghostworld is as exciting as it is frightening.

Summary: Return to a Scortched World
Review: This is the second book of the Twilight Of The Empire trilogy. This is the same Empire as in Green's Owen Deathstalker books.

Captain John Silence is returning to Unseeli, a planet that cost him any chance of advancing his career. The unique metal trees are needed by the Empire but a native revolt forced the Captain into scorching the planet.

But now the mining base has lost contact with the Empire and thrown up a shield. Joined by an esper, an Investigator, and two marines, Captain Silence must solve the mystery.

But the mystery proves far more dangerous that any thought possible as the cast encounters a frightening threat to the entire Empire.

A fine addition to Green's Empire novels. The action is fast and furious and the resolution is satisfying. Much different in tone from Mistworld, the first book in the series.
