Ghost in the Deep

Backyard Starship, Book 17

De: J.N. Chaney, Terry Maggert

Narrado por: Jeffrey Kafer

For Van and his crew, danger is no longer just among the stars.

On earth, the Fafnir has drawn the attention of the most dangerous predator known to humanity—Bureaucrats.

Between human enemies and alien allies, Van finds himself on the edge of a powerful change in his career.

From the depths of his family history, an old enemy returns with plans for power at any cost. Just as his grandfather did fifty years earlier, Van will meet and challenge the threat of an ancient empire that spans deserts, stars, and time. This enemy will force Van's hand as he confronts a question at the heart of who he is—what does it mean to be alive, and who controls your life?

But there's more than just war and crime. There might be a wedding, there will be cheese, and Funboy has a growing career as a television personality in the Midwest, but only if he can wear a tuxedo, of course.

Join Van and the crew as they find that friendship never dies, and neither does greed—at least, not around the Guild.

love the direct carry on of these stories.

love the characters and follow on and subtel character emotions. been here since book 1. glad to enjoy the ride.

Nicely paced story

I was kind of getting used to the Groucho Marks interpretation of Perry in the peace, Scaper wars, and having a hard time listening to them in the continuing backyard starship books if you could do something about that or will he suddenly start speaking like Groucho after he gets all his memories back?

And the story becomes more complicated

I am not sure how I like adding more twists to the story line, especially the part about Perry’s increased memory and what it contains. I did like where they made Van’s grandfather a good guy that worked behind the scenes doing the work of a guild master. So now I guess that Van is a guild master? I am reading the Guild Wars series which is about Van’s grandfather as his career is beginning. At some point I hope to encounter his grandfather doing things mentioned by Van.

The revelation of Xenophere!

The family built with one of our favorite Tudor's. Was a strong nond. They were individually lost. But together they were a damn good crew. thank you yor sharing your stories. It had been a pleasure.

Amazing as usual

These books are so addictive. And the Narration is top shelf! Thank you all for your hard work. I tell all of my friends about this series

Wonderful

This series just keeps on getting better. The light hearted banter and inyouendo is great.

Kafer sucks

Please replace Kafer with Taylorson in main series...
much more better voice actor...
short omof RC Bray or Peter Noble...
this guy has the Iowa midMidwesterner attitude down...
replace Kafer Stat

Another Good Read!

One would think after 17 books that the quality would start to suffer, well, one would be wrong! These books in the backyard Starship series just get better. Jeffrey Kafer's excellent narration brings all of these lovable characters to life. The books while do have some real life concerns and some serious crimes they also have a balance of humor that can not be beat! The plots are fun and interesting and finishing each book just makes you look forward to the next release! Great job guys keep up the most excellent work!

Always leaving me wanting the next

This has been an exceptionally well thought out plot and story / I’ve enjoyed it and continue to become anxious for the next installment.

All the people

They have created a lively world and environment for all to enjoy. I have been lucky to have found this series and have been drawn into it. It is like reading the masters of Sci-Fi and to think back to all the good memories that I have been able to enjoy. Thank both authors for their ability to enjoy!
