Resumen del Editor

This ''Ghost'' May Not Walk Through Walls, but Walls had Better Not Get in His Way!

Former SEAL Michael Harmon, Team Name ''Ghost'', retired for service injuries, is not enjoying college life. But things are about to change, if not for the better. When he sees a kidnapping, a series of, at the time logical, decisions leave him shot to ribbons and battling a battalion of Syrian commandos with only the help of three naked co-eds who answer to the names ''Bambi,'' ''Thumper'' and ''Cotton Tail.'

'A fast-paced, highly-sexual, military-action thriller that ranges from a poison factory in the Mideast to the Florida Keys to Siberia, the novel will keep you guessing what twisted fate will bring next for the man once known as . . . Ghost. Keep an eye on him or . . . poof, he'll be gone.'

A politically incorrect Pleasure

No holds barred straight shooting fun. Ghost is one of the best characters in years

Yep, this is John Ringo in full stride

Ghost, the first of the Paladin of Shadows series hits the ground running in classic John Ringo’s irreverent, sexist, and internationally politically incorrect style.

PLEASE NOTE: Part of the publisher's Summary is “A fast-paced, HIGHLY-SEXUAL, military-action thriller” pay attention!

I’m so glad Jeremy Arthur was chosen as the narrator the characterizations and pacing are spot on.
If you’ve enjoyed any of John Ringo’s work you will love the entire series.
If you’ve never had the pleasure of enjoying John Ringo’s work give Ghost a try, you’ll either love it or hate it.

The remaining books are a more focused plotline and not a collection of shorts or ideas.I have the series in print and am anxiously awaiting release of the rest of the series. 12/17/13

Ringo writes great tales- this one, not my favorit

Typical John Ringo yarn. Lots of cool military lingo and action packed adventure. The over the top fantasy sexcapades were silly and unnecessary. I wonder if Ringo has revealed his own sexual proclivities?

A Stone Cold Knockout

Awesome Action, Beautiful Women, Great Story! !

You can't go wrong with John Ringo

And I am Winterborn

A philosopher hastened into a bar and proclaimed, “The sanctity of truth in mankind is not but a lie!” A super sexy blonde liberal with legs as long as a marathon, a tight little round ass, and the most outstanding perky tits said, ”You’re sooo wrong, mister philosopher, everything Nancy Pelosi says is always true.” The warrior standing by her table felt an extremely deep desire to ass-rape that sexy blonde bitch until she split in half, but harnessed his desire for rape and rabbit-punched her face until it resembled something like a strawberry rhubarb crumble pie — the warrior enjoyed violence of action almost as much as rape. Note: if you’ve gotten this far in my review then this book is definitely for you.

Ringo’s Ghost is a delightful story about an ex-SEAL’s exploration of the dichotomy between brutal fury and gentle docility. It’s chock-full of violence of action, rape (vaginal, ass, and face), girl-on-girl action, and conventional sadomasochism. Also, Jeremy Arthur’s narration is worthy of a booming “Hooyah!”
Ghost is an ingenious 5-star novel.

A kumquat becomes a wombat becomes dark matter

Something odd becomes something weird becomes something unlikely & incomprehensible. I've really enjoyed listening to his earlier works, but this is juvenile & a weak plot. The graphic violence & porn get dull. Felt sorry for the narrator.

Very disappointing filth

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would not recommend this book to a friend. As matter of fact I would not tell anyone that I even listened to this book. This is my seventh John Ringo and the only one that I did not completely enjoy.

What was most disappointing about John Ringo’s story?

Subject (S&M), rape and language. The unending profanity and sexual discussions where very disturbing.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

He had nothing to work with.

Do you think Ghost needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No. Not unless the main character has a lot more to offer.

Any additional comments?

This is the first "Hero" type that might be worse then the villains.

A shooting good time.

If you could sum up Ghost in three words, what would they be?

Fun in the sun. A dream ride for an ex soldier. The right guy in the wrong place to save one part of the world. Save the girls save the nation.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes what is this guy going to do next. John Ringo know how to torture his lead character to keep the plot moving.

Which scene was your favorite?

I enjoyed him seeing the girl taken and his leaping into action. He took advantage of his available opportunities to save the day. The edge was close enough that it is exciting. What happens next is the question.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When the girls are saved. That is the high point in the book for me.

Any additional comments?

Good read John Ringo delivers again. The narrator does a very good job. The voice varies and is not boring a all. The narration delivers dynamic action.

Non stop action

Action, travel and a gun toting alpha male. Heavy on the smut, but otherwise great!

a good combat story but watch for the BDSM

Would you listen to Ghost again? Why?

tis was a fairly straightforward combat story with a fairly linear story line but spiced with a great deal of sex.

Any additional comments?

The biggest risk of this series is the persistent story line featuring Sado masicism, bondage, torture and rape. This was a bit more than I was comfortable with and I certainly wouldn't play it in public without earphones.
