asked by reviewer on November 1, 2006 5:40 PM
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.

This book does have some fun action. However, the attempt
to combine S&M with 18 year olds girls and doom-type head shots, and completely unlikely events- i.e. randomly running into 2 nukes, and a plethera of terrorists within 2 year period, JUST doesnt work.
The book is an interesting attempt at porn-terrorist-slaughter,but its not worth the money.

Ghost is a book that is difficult to classify. But before I get to any of other details of the novel, I must point out that this book contains pages upon pages of EXPLICIT PORNOGRAPHY. Bondage, SM, etc. in graphic, graphic detail. And I am in no way being prudish.
The middle novella tells the tale of our intrepid hero sailing on his boat two more than willing college girls who engage in violent, submissive sex for almost 200 pages. Nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING is left to the imagination. This may offend some readers. And the book is DEFINITELY NOT FOR KIDS!
That said, there are many other aspects of the book that some might find offensive. Excessive violence. Intense right-wing politics. These didn't bother me. In fact I give a tip of the hat to the author and publisher for having the guts to publish the book.
The first novella is about as fast moving and entertaining, over the top, action yarn as you'll have the pleasure of reading. The second novella is just graphic sex. The third blends the two more along the lines of the first one and is all the more palatable. The whole, unfortunately doesn't quite make the journey worthwhile.
But, again, for the record, this book contains material that many may find objectionable. And I think Baen has been irresponsible in presenting this material without any disclaimer as to the graphic sexual content. This book is adults only. No question about it.
