    The Storm Operatives are back in another action-packed adventure. This time Will, Andrew, and Gaia are up
    against something even more dangerous than that found in STORM: THE INFINITY CODE.

    Two burglaries have hit the headlines. Why? Because the thing in the video is a strange spectral form that doesn’t
    leave any prints behind and doesn’t look human, earning it the name Il Fantastma or The Ghost.

    A girl, named Cristina, witnesses The Ghost steal a precious heirloom so she goes after it, only letting STORM
    know of her plans. After she goes missing, STORM takes the case and goes on the trail of an unknown, deadly,
    smart criminal, who wants to plunge the world into chaos.

    STORM: THE GHOST MACHINE was an adventure filled with twists and turns. There were some surprising
    twists that kept you on the edge of your seat. The book can be read as a stand-alone, but if you want more
    background information on the characters, it’s better if you read the first book. Even if you haven’t read the first
    book, though, you won’t be lost, and you will be sucked into this book. Young sure shows off how much research
    she did to make sure that the weapons used were believable and didn’t seem too “out there."

    Fans of the ALEX RIDER or YOUNG BOND series' will definitely love this one.
