Description

In a volatile Galaxy that is light-years from Earth, Theodore Crane thrusts himself and his broken crew into desolate conditions, vowing to find two valuable allies who were lost in battle.

Meanwhile, the war between two all-powerful demigods continues--the tyrannical Odion spreads his empire and the despotic Zane stalks Theodore through a shroud of resistance known as the Opposition.

Due to recent failures, the Opposition must retrench in order to rid the universe of the two demigods who are threatening the freedoms of the Galaxy. Theodore must help the Opposition's freedom fighters find hope.

Along his journey, Theodore and his crew learn of an all-powerful omnipotent mainframe, Eppa. Records of her existence suggest that she sees and records everything. If Theodore can locate Eppa, he may shift the fate of the Galaxy.

The Ghost of Sephera is a rollicking space adventure to be enjoyed by readers age twelve and up, and explores universal questions such as: Do incredible nano-engineered particles with great intelligence have the same freedoms and rights as the peoples of the galaxy? If time travel was a reality throughout the galaxy, how do we hunt down and apprehend violators? Is a vast repository with unlimited knowledge, one that records every single second since the beginning of Time and discerns every decision ever made, too powerful to exist?

In a volatile Galaxy that is light-years from Earth, Theodore Crane thrusts himself and his broken crew into desolate conditions, vowing to find two valuable allies who were lost in battle.

John P, Reviewer

“Ghost of Sephera” was published in 2014 and was written by J. D. Tew. This is Mr. Tew’s second publication and the second novel in his “Theodore Crane” series.

I would categorize this Science Fiction Young Adult novel as ‘R’ as there are instances of Mature Language and Violence. The novel is set in a the current day. The primary characters are Theodore Crane, Lincoln Royce, Drey Richerz, Nilo Tannon and King Trazuline of Karshiz.

The story picks up shortly after the first novel in the series ends. Theodore and Lincoln are being held prisoner, as is King Trazuline’s daughter. Much of the story revolves around Theodore’s recording what has happened while a prisoner.

There is a lot of action and adventure through the story. Not having read the first book in the series created a challenge, but this book did include a “Prolog” section that provided a very helpful overview of what had happened in the first book. That is something that I wish all series did.

I liked the characters that were developed in the story. I think this would still qualify as a Young Adult story as the characters from Earth started in the first book during their mid teens and are just now in their late teens. I give this novel a 4 out of 5.

My book reviews are also published on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com).
