À propos de cet audio

Ghost Talkers: a new novel from beloved fantasy author Mary Robinette Kowal featuring the mysterious spirit corps and their heroic work in World War I.

Ginger Stuyvesant, an American heiress living in London during World War I, is engaged to Captain Benjamin Hartshorne, an intelligence officer. Ginger is a medium for the Spirit Corps, a special Spiritualist force. Each soldier heading for the front is conditioned to report to the mediums of the Spirit Corps when they die so the corps can pass instant information about troop movements to military intelligence.

Ginger and her fellow mediums contribute a great deal to the war efforts, so long as they pass the information through appropriate channels. While Ben is away at the front, Ginger discovers the presence of a traitor. Without the presence of her fiancé to validate her findings, the top brass thinks she's just imagining things. Even worse, it is clear that the Spirit Corps is now being directly targeted by the German war effort. Left to her own devices, Ginger has to find out how the Germans are targeting the Spirit Corps and stop them. This is a difficult and dangerous task for a woman of that era, but this time both the spirit and the flesh are willing....

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Imagine that the British military of the Great War utilized intelligence gleaned in their soldiers' final moments by having the dead 'report in' for debriefing with spiritualists. Kowal spins this idea into a thoroughly satisfying and believable novel blending fantasy, history, and suspense. The story is peopled with mediums, officers, servants, and gossips - some American, most English, and a few German - and with a plot that makes fine use of action as well as emotions. Kowal goes a giant step further with her narration, which is fully voiced, perfectly smooth, and paced with spot-on accuracy to invest every passage with compelling listening. With such a unique and thoroughly developed story, and a performance that brings it as fully to life, this is a must-listen for everyone." (AudioFile Magazine)

Ghost Talkers is a win!

Twining occultism and the Great War together was a fresh idea that was really well executed (and performed) by the author. MRK did a great job of keeping the attitudes and social morals of the period constant through the story which I was impressed with. The characters evolved through the story but in a manner appropriate to 1916, not magically jumped to our current “evolved” state.

Period War Time Novel

This is a different swing on what might have happened during World War I. I love spiritual/ghost novels as I do Tarot etc. So I found the story line interesting and entertaining.

Quite Nauseating...

If it hadn't been a daily deal, it would've been returned. Absolutely horrible naration and storyline. I don't think I would have enjoyed this even if I was 12 years old. The protagonist is a ridiculous childs notion of what it is like being a woman in love and the characters are all unbelievable with no shades of grey; the end made me vomit a little.
