Ghost Jumper is a summer sci-fi blockbuster that you’ll wish is adapted to the big screen because A.A Warren writes scenery and action of the highest cinematic quality.
Trev Corvus is Star League’s best pilot in the intergalactic war. He flies fast and he flies sharp. After a mission goes horribly wrong for Trev, he drops out and he becomes a Ghost Jumper, helping criminals escape the oppressive Trans-Corp Security Force. As he and his synthetic canine co-Pilot take to the skies on a new job, he finds himself double crossed and hunted by a powerful figure in the galaxy, and no matter how fast he flies, he can’t outrun the whole galaxy, or his past.
Throughout Ghost Jumper, A.A Warren keeps the momentum bustling with awesome action sequences, whether it’s Trev flying a futuristic fighter jet in aerial combat, shooting down bad guys with cool weaponry, or throwing down with dangerous fisticuffs. The action hits hard with the right balance of vivid details to get the imagination flowing and a pedal to the metal pacing. The scale of the action is truly galactic as the adventure takes Trev across the stars to find out just how aggressive of an enemy he has made unwittingly in his latest enterprising quest.
Even with such futuristic setting, Warren describes each encounter, character, place, and equipment with a grounded perspective that readers who may not even be fans of the sci-fi genre will easily grasp and enjoy the experience. The first person POV immensely helps readers seamlessly connect with this grand world down to the beings who still resonate with those around us. Trev’s witty humor and troubled past prove to be a powerful combo in creating a distinctive aura for him as a protagonist and as someone you’d want to follow into any crazy adventure imaginable.
The story feels like an incredible tapestry of multiple genres and plot lines that, thanks to Warren’s stellar writing, gel together nicely and confidently to give a riveting twisty narrative that adds to the incredible roster of characters and jaw-dropping action. It’s not a typical heavy-laden sci-fi tale, but it certainly seems inspired by the best and it’s channeled into creating a novel that will make your week if not your month a great one at that.
Ghost Jumper is a delightful action-packed adventure that feels like a cinematic journey through space with plenty of fun moments that are balanced by spine-tingling moments of horror and chaos, sprinkled with some wry humor to complete the full package.
