Have you ever wondered about the things that go bump in
the
night? There are certain things that are kept away from
normal people. Certain things that someone does not
necessarily need to know. As knowing what is really out
there, ready to jump at the slightest provocation, can
either open your eyes, or destroy your sanity. Lucky for
us,
there are unseen forces moving about the shadows. Keeping
everyone alive and safely in the dark. The darkness may be
watching, but there is also someone watching back.
Even with VOICES FROM BEYOND being a new series by Simon
R.
Green, it doesn't stray too far from the archetypes of
some
of his previous novels. The group of misfits together
trying
to save the world is always an enjoyable read, and with
the
three in VOICES FROM BEYOND being an interesting matchup
combined with a secretive group keeping the normal society
safe and in the dark, you get a dynamic done well and a
little familiar to Green's fans. Jumping in to the story
you
meet the trio of Ghost Finders. Each one is a unique
character on their own and together they make quite a
group.
A charming, cool, man with otherworldly powers, JC Chance,
a
sharp, smart, woman running powerful homemade tech, Melody
Chambers, and a drug addled psychic, and "terminally
gloomy
telepath", Happy Jack Palmer. The three are set off onto a
case immediately and you get to see the team in action as
they save some young souls from a deadly beast. As you get
deeper into the story you get a glimpse of what really is
happening and the dangers behind every corner.
I am
personally highly anticipating the continuation of this
new
series and am really excited to see the next adventures as
well as the larger evil organization alluded to in VOICES
FROM BEYOND.
Meet the operatives of the Carnacki Institute—JC Chance:
the
team leader, brave, charming, and almost unbearably
arrogant; Melody Chambers: the science geek who keeps the
antisupernatural equipment running; and Happy Jack Palmer:
the terminally gloomy telepath. Their mission: Do
Something
About Ghosts. Lay them to rest, send them packing, or just
kick their nasty ectoplasmic arses.
In a quiet London suburb, four university students
participating in an experiment inside a reputed haunted
house hold a séance that goes terribly wrong. What—or
who—ever they summoned has taken their minds away, leaving
them empty shells.
Enter the Ghost Finders, ready to confront an enraged
poltergeist for the students’ very souls.
All in a day’s work—except the team doesn’t know that in
another part of the city, a different entity has also
breached the threshold between worlds. And this time what
is
at stake is not four lives—but the very existence of all
humanity.
