Where to Begin in the Series: GhostWalkers
The GhostWalkers are my second largest series with 14 books currently in that series and another one that I’m currently writing. As you likely know by now, I write all of my books to be stand alone stories. You can read them in any order and you’ll have a full story. But, like most series there is often an overall story arc that can enhance a reader’s overall enjoyment of the story of the GhostWalkers.
The GhostWalkers are military experiments gone awry. They were to be psychically enhanced, but many also had their DNA manipulated. Some of these super soldiers have brain bleeds and need “anchors” to help sooth them and keep them focused. The later experiments had more DNA splicing, but less defects.
There are four teams of GhostWalkers located in different areas around the United States. If you don’t want to start at the very beginning with team 1 you might consider starting with Viper Game, which has us in the Louisiana Bayou with team 4. Viper Game introduces us to some of the failed experiments made up of orphaned girls with strange DNA splicing/editing.
If you’d like to start even later in the series consider Power Game. This introduces us to a new set of women who are more closely tied to Whitney, the scientist who created the GhostWalker program and it expands into more international intrigue while still keeping us with team 4.
Again, keep in mind that you can read any of the GhostWalker books on their own and have a complete story. These are just some suggestions of starting points if you’re someone who wants to jump in later in a series.

Phantom Game: Looking Back and Going Forward
Jonas “Smoke” Harper is in Team One of the GhostWalkers and was one of the first of a group of soldiers experimented on…enhanced. Camellia Mist was in one of the first group of orphaned girls genetically enhanced and trained as children to become elite soldiers as women. Sent out on dangerous missions and deemed expendable by the government sanctioned scientist Dr. Whitney. In Phantom Game, as a special army comes to attack the GhostWalkers Jonas and Camellia must put their special gifts to the test in order to save their teams and their families.
This story, just like all of the GhostWalker books, is a standalone but reading Shadow Game, the first in the GhostWalker series gives you insight to how Jonas and his team escaped the horrible fate Whitney had planned for them.
In Conspiracy Game you get a glimpse at just what Whitney had in store for the orphaned girls he took for experiments…and for his breeding program.
In Phantom Game, Team One and Team Two have finally found a safe haven to raise their children. Or so they thought. When a specially trained and enhanced army comes looking for them and their children the two teams use their combined power and training to survive and claim their right to life.
I loved writing this book and bringing back some beloved characters. Team One suffered more than any of the other teams and now you get to see them as survivors who’ve taken back their lives and grown beyond anything Whitney could have imagined.
Readers who have read the series will love catching up with these characters and people who are reading Phantom Game as their first GhostWalker experience will get to experience the excitement of these GhostWalker teams!
