About this listen

 Ghosts in the Sky explores how drones — once science fiction — have become the defining instruments of 21st-century power. From silent killers in remote war zones to consumer quadcopters, agricultural sprayers, delivery bots, and underwater sentinels, drones are reshaping the battlefield, the economy, and everyday life.
Written by Thornton D. Barnes — former CIA Special Projects engineer and Area 51 insider — this groundbreaking nonfiction work traces the hidden evolution of unmanned systems. With rare insight into classified programs, wartime deployments, industrial adoption, and the ethical questions that now confront lawmakers and citizens alike, Ghosts in the Sky reveals a world in transformation.
Discover how:
Drones became America’s invisible warriors — from Vietnam to today’s global strike network
AI-powered swarms, loitering munitions, and hypersonic surveillance platforms threaten strategic balance
Unmanned underwater and aerial systems are expanding the battlefield into every domain
The line between civilian and combat drone use has all but disappeared — with profound legal and moral consequences
Packed with insider knowledge, historical narrative, and forward-looking analysis, Ghosts in the Sky is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the technologies changing war, governance, and personal freedom.
