Interpretation To Books Ghost Talkers
Ginger Stuyvesant, an American heiress living in London during World War I, is engaged to Captain Benjamin Harford, 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 fiance 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…

FULL REVIEW AT MY BLOG, TOTAL INABILITY TO CONNECTGhost Talkers is a WWI-era novel that follows Ginger Stuyvesant, a medium (yes, that kind of medium) from America, living in London during the war. Ginger is part of a mostly-secret group of magical seers, the Spirit Corps, who communicate with recently deceased soldiers, reliving their final moments and helping to assist them into the afterlife, while using the information they gather from these deceased soldiers as a form of intel for the army.Thanks for buddy reading this with me Carl! I first heard about Ghost Talkers from Booklist Online in their feature article The Reading List: Best Adult Genre Fiction. It made their short list in the fantasy genre category. Id never heard of Mary Robinette Kowal until this article. The synopsis sounded intriguing, so, I jumped onto Goodreads to look at some of the reviews. I was pleasantly surprised to see that not only did Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss both read this book, but they
Great read!Set in the First World War, I really enjoyed this! Action packed! The ghost talkers are mediums who talk to dead soldiers to find out enemy troop actions in an attempt to foil them.Very clever premise!Ginger Stuyvesant is an American heiress and medium, with an English mother. She has joined the Spirit Corps, an elite spiritualist force, as a volunteer. Her fiancé Captain Ben Hartford is also involved as an intelligence officer, fully aware of the Corps mission. He is looking for a
This book swept me up in it, and didn't let go until it was over. It's rare for me to read something without putting it down at this point in my life, but the combination of short word count and breakneck pacing kept my eyes glued to the pages. Ginger is a wonderful protagonist, who is smart, and kind, and has the fiery temper you might expect from a woman called "Ginger," but she's definitely more than that stereotype as well. Her interactions with Helen, the other medium in her circle, who's a
Look at that cover! I admit it was the artwork that stopped me in my tracks when I first saw this book. Then came the blurb, and what a magnificent premise that was! An alternative history with fantasy elements? British fighting the Germans in WWI with the aid of mediums and spiritual intelligence? After reading the description I knew I had to put Ghost Talkers on my immediate tbr. To be honest, I haven't been so excited to start a book in a while. If you like the genre, enjoy strong, likeable
I received this book through NetGalley. It will be released on August 16th, 2016.This was one of my most-anticipated books this year, and it lived up to my expectations. Ghost Talkers is historical fiction and fantasy at its finest, weaving the use of mediums and ghosts into World War I's brutal trench warfare. Ginger is a strong, savvy heroine, a woman who refused to be confined by social standards of her time. She plays a pivotal role in the war effort by living through the last moments of
