Jonas and his good friends, Jeff and Kyle, are investigating the woods around The GhostWalker compounds for Teams 1 and 2 because Jonas has a sense that something is watching and possibly targeting them. When a disorienting fog envelops them, Jonas realizes something else is at work and leaves Kyle and Jeff behind in order to determine the level of danger. What he stumbles on is a small house made of rare and exotic plants and flowers that shouldn't be growing in the mountains of Montana. Jonas sees Camellia for the first time, and he knows that she is reticent of strangers, but he also knows that he has finally found his genetic mate. However, a team of enhanced soldiers is on their way to destroy the residents of both GhostWalker compounds, so Jonas and Camellia must pool their talents in order to stop them.

Phantom Game is definitely a strong entry in the GhostWalker series, but it does have some flaws that can't be overlooked. The pacing of the story is off. Much of the first half of the book is spent info-dumping with lots of conversation, telling what is happening and the last half is filled with way too many incidents, and there is so much repetition, making the book much longer than necessary. However, this book does put the focus on the GhostWalker teams, which is an improvement over recent submissions in this series. Also, the relationship between Jonas and Camellia is angsty without being overly-dramatic or bogged down with too many love scenes. Overall, Phantom Game is one of the best GhostWalker stories in recent memory and well worth the read. ( )
