Why this book?:
This book needed the circs and seemed up my alley, so I listened to the first book, Ghostman. Then I could listen to this one.
Comments:
Like the first book, this one has some very graphic violence. Such as beheading with wire contraptions (that they also had on the TV show Quantico, so I was able to test how my imagination held up to a visual demonstration.)
Jack's mentor Angela has finally contacted him after a 6 year stretch of silence. After 6 years of not knowing whether someone is dead or alive, do you trust them? Especially when you trust no one? And how do you get out of a mess when you have multiple enemies after you, you don't know who any of them are, and they seem to know much more about you?
Why you do what you've trained to do, you be a ghostman, becoming someone new and different in seconds. Different name, posture and bearing, voice and background... For me, these transformations are one of the most interesting parts of these stories.
Book three, City of Sirens, is due out in 2018. A bit of a wait, and with my track record, this gap makes continuing the series iffy. I'm just now listening to an audiobook that, when I read it's predecessor, I said I couldn't wait for... in 2013. However, story-wise, I'm definitely interested to hear more of Jack and his adventures.
