Summary
In 2003, journalist Connor Regan marched through London to add his voice to a million others, decrying the imminent invasion of Iraq. Eight months later, his brother, James, was killed in action in Mosul.
Three years on, Connor finds himself bound for Iraq to embed with an elite SAS team. He sets his boots on the ground looking for closure and solace - anything to ease the pain of his brother's death. Instead he finds Sergeant Nathan Thompson.
Nat Thompson is a veteran commander, hardened by years of combat and haunted by the loss of his best friend. Being lumbered with a civilian is a hassle Nat doesn't need, and he vows to do nothing more than keep the hapless hack from harm's way.
But Connor proves far from hapless, and too compelling to ignore for long. He walks straight through the steel wall Nat's built around his heart, and when their mission puts him in mortal danger, Nat must lay old ghosts to rest and fight to the death for the only man he's ever truly loved.

Great military romance
If you could sum up Between Ghosts in three words, what would they be?
Realistic, emotional, gritty
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved Connor - he seemed simultaneously endearingly young as well as hardened. There were multiple aspects to his character which kept the story engaging and moving along.
Have you listened to any of Craig Beck’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Yes - I also listened to Misfits by Garrett Leigh that is narrated by Craig Beck. I think in future, I won't listen to them close together as Connor and Nat had the same sound as Jake and a mix of Tom/Cass. Nothing wrong with that as the style of voices fit the characters (although I had pictured Connor as a little more 'highbrow') but it took me a while to get my head round Connor as opposed to Jake.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I loved it - it's gritty as it's what I imagine a realistic military book to be, but at the same time it managed to maintain a tenderness in the relationship between Connor and Nat.

Great read
I really enjoyed this book. I am not quite sure how the two guys would have found it possible to find somewhere to have sex in the camp but I know his mates would have acted this way when they found out the guys secret. Well written good story and well read. I will now check out another book by this author.

Seriously interesting story
Serious story giving you an idea of war is like and how the soldiers make it through, it feels like real life which shows how good the author was and how realistic the narrator made it feel.

Enjoyable military romance
I enjoyed Craig Beck's narration of Garrett Leigh's 'Between Ghosts' - the characters' personalities came through well (although the Welsh accent was a bit dodgy but not enough to fully pull me out of the story) and he paced it well.
The story was engaging, following Connor as he tried to come to terms with his brother's death in the army years before by following military personnel as they fought in the Middle East and recording what they did and endured in an effort to make sense of it all. The growth of his relationship with Nat was well drawn and the tension it caused in relation to the missions was well narrated by Beck. The whole thing came to a very satisfying conclusion and I'll be trying other books written by Leigh, as well as checking out what other books Beck has narrated.
I will be listening to this again.

Great book
Any additional comments?
Really enjoyed this. Narration was excellent with a good pace and keeping the suspense going for the action scenes. Certainly worth a credit!
