We fight as though dead.

Having proved herself an exceptional fighter, Jada Sec is offered the chance to win the elite Dire Swords, better paid then the Reapers and loyal only to each other and the contract. But first she would have to survive the transformation, facing fears and unknowable pain which will never go away. If she makes it through, she will be bigger and stronger, living only for endless battle.

Not having read the previous books set in the terrible future world of Necrospace, where Corporations and the elites hold almost everyone in life debtsn, a form of slavery, and initially I struggled to make sense of the story: it is definitely advisable to be familiar with the situation to become fully involved. However, once settled in, this novella of non stop.action, moving from location to new fighting location, developed a fascinating appeal combined with a deep desire to see the new team member of the Dire Swords survive against all the odds.

This transition was aided enormously by the narration of Stephanie Rose. The action is fast and so is the reading, the pleasant sounding voice suffused with excitement and emotion to match the text, the characters individually voiced.

Definitely a book to please action addicts. My thanks to the rights holder for gifting me a complimentary copy of Ghost Faction, at my request, via Audiobook Boom. But read the other books first....
