This title in other formats:The Ghost of the Revelatorby L E Jr Modesitt
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:L.E. Modesitt, Jr., has gained a legion of devoted fans for his science fiction as well as his epic fantasy novels. The Ghost of the Revelator is one of the best displays yet of his ability to blend dramatic, imaginative stories with rigorous social and scientific extrapolation.Doktor Johan Eschbach (the central character of Modesitt's popular alternate history SF novel, Of Tangible Ghosts) had hoped for a quiet life in retirement from the intelligence service, teaching environmental science at the University of New Bruges and living with his new wife, the vocalist Llysette du Boise. Llysette, a refugee from the burning remains of France, would herself like little more than to resume her singing career and forget her time in the prison camps of the Hapsburg Empire.But an unusual invitation from the Mormon nation of Deseret inexorably drags Johan back into the spy business, though he isn't quite sure why or for whom. It quickly becomes apparent that he is being used as a pawn in a deadly game of international maneuverings that are leading the world closer to war. Synopsis:L.E. Modesitt, Jr., returns to his hard SF mode with a new novel set in the same world as his popular Of Tangible Ghosts — a present-day alternate America where there is no United States, in which the ghosts of the dead linger. Johann Eschbach, former secret agent and now university professor, and his wife, the world-famous singer, find life-threatening danger and international intrigue in an invitation to visit the country of Deseret. Before they can even depart, a bomb nearly destroys their home. Once they finally reach Deseret, the only thing that might save them lies in the physical nature of ghosts, and the secret Johann knows about that nature.
