Ghost of the White Nights :
The final Book of the Ghost trilogy
(Paperback) |
This
thriller completes the trilogy that began with Of Tangible Ghosts
and The Ghost of the Revelator. Environmental scientist Dr. Johan
Eschbach and his wife, the world-famous diva Llysette, travel to
Romanov-ruled Russia for a cultural exchange and to investigate
rumors of a deadly new technology controlled by the Russians.
Modesitt's latest addition to the "Ghost" series (Of Tangible
Ghosts, The Ghost of the Revelator) exhibits the author's graceful
storytelling and unique vision. Fans of alternate history should
enjoy this tale of deception and intrigue. A fitting addition for
most sf collections. |

The Ghost of the Revelator :
The Second Book of the Ghost trilogy
(Paperback)
|
Following up on the
inventive Of Tangible Ghosts, L.E. Modesitt Jr. takes us back to his
balkanized, techno-colonial vision of America, an alternate history
in which the English colony at Plymouth failed long ago and New
France, Columbia, Quebec, and the Mormon state of Deseret scheme and
scrap for control of the continent and its resources. A land of
dirigibles and difference engines, Modesitt's eerily refined world
is compelling and coolly original, a place where you still drive to
work in a car--albeit steam-powered--but think nothing of waving
good morning to the zombies raking leaves off your lawn. |

Of Tangible Ghosts :
The First Book of the Ghost trilogy
(Paperback) |
Of Tangible Ghosts is
the first novel in the Ghost series. As university professor and
former government agent Johan Eshbach reluctantly returns to duty to
investigate the death of a fellow teacher, he plunges into the midst
of a deadly game of politics and murder. Set in an alternate world
where the Dutch settlement of North America did not give way to the
British, where "difference engines" handle information processing,
and where the psychic energies of ghostly manifestations exert their
influence over the living, Modesitt's latest novel transforms a
cliched plot into a vivid exercise in historic speculation. |
