Ghosts of Empire Book 4 of The Empire of Bones Saga eBook Terry Mixon
Here we go for another entertaining episode of The Empire of Bones saga. After the clusterf... by the unbelievably incompetent Captain Breckenridge it is up to our friends to clean up the mess. This of course leads them into yet another adventure on yet another world of the former Terran Empire.The story this time revolves around the objective of getting their people back from Harrison’s World. Harrison’s World is occupied by former Terran Empire inhabitants where most of them believe they are still part of the empire and are not aware that they are actually slaves of the AIs. To complicate things the people of Harrison’s World has already made one attempt to overthrow the AIs and been severely punished for it.
The resistance movement remains however and naturally they see this moment as an opportunity. Unfortunately they believe that Jared and Kelsey are part of the AI’s version of the Terran Empire so it is up to our heroes to convince them otherwise.
As an additional incentive Harrison’s world is home for the Grant Research Facility, one of the most advanced military research facilities in the old Terran Empire. For Jared and Kelsey to get their hands on it would be a big bonus.
All these elements makes for the usual entertaining ride through a lot of action, suspense, adventure, good characters and nasty villains. The book is nicely written although, after having read four of these books, I have to say that the author could do with an editor. The dialogue is quite fun at times and the adventure plays out nicely. As usual our heroes gains some additional knowledge and technology on the way, as well as new friends.
Some of the adventure takes the form of political power play between those faithful to the AI “lords” and the supporters of the resistance movement. I quite liked the resistance movement representative. Her opponent is evil all the way and somewhat of a stereotype of a political bad guy but thankfully not as ludicrously stupid as Captain Breckenridge.
All in all this book contains the same kind of enjoyable, although not overly deep and complex, adventure plot that we have seen in the previous books. I found it a good reed.

Ghosts of Empire Book 4 of The Empire of Bones Saga eBook Terry Mixon Reviews
An interesting storyline. Watching the characters develop from the 1st book till this one was a fun and interesting read.
To me it seemed as if Kelsey is a reckless, stubborn princess for whom things always work out in the end, usually through luck. Though why a Marine detachment would need a commanding officer when she’s around is a question I wondered about towards the end of this book.
As for Jared, I keep getting the feeling that he does not step up to a more commanding role and thus leaves command of the fleet and even his ship to Kelsey as he seems afraid to be looked at as the Emperor’s illegitimate son trying to take power. This seems to curtail his abilities in the story.
Towards the end of this book even Kelsey gets her own ship. So now, not only is she the supreme marine leader, she is also a fleet captain. And thus, the Princess Captain Knight. To me, this is a bit much. I am considering if I even want to continue with this series. I’m sure by the end of the series she would become the Empress Supreme Goddess.
I felt the first novel in the series deserved a 4/5 for the novelty of its concept, the rich history, and the sense of the unknown.
Now, after having read 4 out of the 5 books, I find that I cannot continue.
The main characters have undergone dramatic personality shifts that totally conflict with their original voices. For example, the sister Kelsey has basically morphed into her brother, while her brother Jared has now become almost a side character in the story.
The relationships between the characters and their love interests do not make sense. Kelsey's beau has also morphed into a weak willed feminine character instead of the fierce marine we were first presented with.
Numbering - very often there are references to things like 5 quadrillion people were killed or 50 gazillion ships were in the system. No matter how you rationalise it, the author seems to have a problem dealing with the scale of things.
Elise - what are her goals? What does she want? What does she look like? We have no idea. She is completely two-dimensional. The only person that we know what they look like is basically Kelsey. Maybe this is not an important feature for some but it helps me to equate the characters with real people.
The last and greatest issue the main characters act like they have a mental deficiency. Kelsey continually does completely stupid and dangerous things but is still allowed to do so by her idiot brother who is now a supporting character. Then, based on stupid things they do, an arbitrary amount of characters are killed with some random number, but that is okay because we had no idea how many they had in the first place.
Anyways, I hope that in the future the author can pay a bit more attention to these aspects, and I will of course continue to buy his works.
