About this listen

Acheron Colony was supposed to be humanity's greatest windfall.

Using long-range sensors, the planet tested out as a super-Earth—but the reality is frightening. Instead of a green world bursting with life, the colonists find a dead rock covered in ash. Something has dismantled every organic molecule on Acheron—and no one knows how or why.

When a mysterious signal that defies explanation begins to pulse from an alien ruin, the colonists panic. Something ancient was here long before them, and the signal, like a heartbeat, won't let them forget it.

Alien-built guardians arise, marching on the unsuspecting humans. Fearful they will be erased just like the last civilization, the colonists call to Earth for help. Special forces operative Dane Tanner of XCU responds to their pleas. Dispatched to Acheron with time running out, Tanner and the colonists must decode the Ghost Signal to either shut down the murderous guardians or harness their power.

Ghost Signal is the second book of the action-packed Rift Warrior series. With millions of copies sold, USA Today bestselling author B. V. Larson is the king of modern military science fiction.

I don't expect much, b.v Larson books are simplistic, action packed, save the day, get the girl stories, and I absolutely love it.

But this time it didn't quite hold up, the core elements are still there but it missing the final touches to make it a great and enjoyable story.

the main story and plot are serviceable enough, but the storytelling is missing something and a bit more "messy"/un polished than what he usually delivers. it sometimes feel like the next line isn't quite connected to the last. (example MC sees someone's eyes are wide open so he knows they are alive, next line their eyes flutter open when he talks to them.)

if I told an AI to write me a B.V Larson story and had someone familiar with his work or the man himself spend some time editing it, this is the result I would expect.

it's not terrible, and the performance is stellar as always.

not quite there.

Meh, I have enjoyed all of his other books but this one just doesn’t seem to click like his other ones. I listened to the first one and wasn’t impressed but decided to try the second to give it a real chance. if anything the next one was even more disappointing. Love the narrator as usual but this story seems disjointed and I will not be listening to the next one.

Not up to B.V’s standards

The performance saved this book. The story line would have interesting but Larson constantly used trite metaphors from old crime drama books.

Trite

I enjoyed the first two books in the series. Sure it’s the same old main character. A strong tough brute of a man who at first seems to be a dummy, but in reality simply hides his intellect for his own reasons. I mean, come on you don’t get to be top of your game by being something other than the very best. The story is interesting enough, but something is missing. It’s not BV Larson’s best work.

Fun but not fantastic

I’m a huge BV Larson fan and have come to expect amazing characters and exciting story lines. Rift war is neither and to be honest is nothing like the rest of Larson’s stories. It’s shallow without and depth, the characters doesn’t make any sense and are not consistent, and the science is simple, stereotypic and simple. I know BV Larson can do better and I’ve enjoyed countless of his books so I suggest to skip the series and pick pretty much any other title by him.

Shallow and simple story
