Rendition Toward Books Ghost in the Machine (Corwint Central Agent Files #1)
Ghost In The Machine is a mature space opera romance with strong language, some violence, a good heaping of romance, some steamy bits, a few crazy aliens, one very confused android, an empathic girl with emotional issues who tends to trip herself up, and a crew of space agents who seem to enjoy making their Central Director yank out her hair.“Love is like a wormhole. You stumble on to it blindly, it sucks you in and takes you somewhere completely unexpected. You can’t fight it, because that would tear your ship apart. You can’t control it, either. All you can do is set your thrusters on glide and let it take you where it’s going to take you.”
Going against the rules of her Vesparian Sisterhood, which seeks to keep its entire existence a secret, Orynn is thrown into the open by a request for help that she could not refuse. Seeking to reconcile past mistakes and gain a forgiveness she feels she does not deserve, the control over her empathic abilities is put to the test when the darkness that lives within her spirit threatens to once again destroy any piece of happiness that she allows herself to find.
As a Mechatronic Automaton, Ethan defines his world through a set of logically defined values and understandings. Encountering Orynn throws his system out of balance as he tries to decide if he should trust the feelings he is developing, or if he should follow the logic telling him that she is trying to control him for some unknown purpose. Should he keep her at a distance despite his want to bring her near, or should he follow the heart he swears he does not have? As his understanding of her develops, he begins to question all of his preconceived notions about both himself and the universe around him.

So good! Enventive and easy to follow with great plot development and lively characters. I can't wait to find out what happens next!I really liked this book. The world building and characters were great- well thought out, complex enough to be interesting and in general were smartly done. I was on the fence about a 4 or 5 star rating but ended up with 5 because of it's richness which leads me to believe this will be a series I'll want to continue for more great reads and I became invested in the characters. The first 3 chapters were a big information dump and I actually had to make notes about characters and places because I
I picked up Ghost in the Machine because I was specifically looking for a sci-fi/romance novel, and the title and blurb caught my eye among the dozens of choices. Plus, it was surprisingly free that week to download on Amazon. The story started off with a lot of structure problems: general grammar issues, tense shifts, and info-dumps in dialogue that should've been very well known to the recipient of said speech (AKA "As You Well Know" conversations). Despite this, I decided to soldier on and
2.5ish stars.The world/universe tha was created is exactly what I want with a sci-fi story. Everyone is an alien. And when you throw multiple races of ETs on a ship, and they jump from world to world, experiencing new cultures and how to navigate trading intel/goods... I loved that. Plus you can tell the writer is pretty smart. Like, her verbiage on certain aspects (including the technicalities of the robots, machinery, flight, etc) swings to a smart individual. Therefore, you feel smarter
Expectations can have a profound effect on how someone reacts to a story. When I volunteered to R4R [Read-for-Review] Ghost in the Machine by C.E.Kilgore, I vaguely knew it would be a science fiction romance, but I expected the science fiction to be the main focus of the story. When it became obvious the romantic element would dominate, I was disappointed. When I read the first erotic scene I felt uneasy because I dont really like erotica.So from my personal point of view, there went one star. I
Science fiction, in all its multifarious forms, is a genre of ideas, perhaps more so than any other genre. At its best, sci-fi can make the reader question the very nature of existence or what it means to be human. Romance, it could be argued, is a genre of emotions; the best told romantic stories elicit from the reader a maelstrom of mixed feelings as the protagonists muddle their separate ways through the minefield of hindrances to finally arrive at love.Rare is the beast that balances
A little too much like Firefly for my taste.
