About this listen

What will World War III look like?

Ghost Fleet is a gripping imagining of a war set in the not too distant future.

Navy captains battle through a modern-day Pearl Harbor, fighter pilots duel with stealthy drones, teenage hackers fight in digital playgrounds, Silicon Valley billionaires mobilise for cyber war and a serial killer carries out her own vendetta.

Ultimately, victory will depend on who can best blend the lessons of the past with the weapons of the future.

Critic Reviews

"A wild book, a real page-turner." ( The Economist)
"A novel that reads like science fiction but bristles with rich detail about how the next World War could be fought." ( Vice)

Exceptional in every metric.
This book receives significant amounts of unwarranted hate.

Suprisingly technically accurate in many regards.

A great story, told in a dynamic and interesting fashion. The characters were engaging and had sufficient depth to feel for their challenges and triumphs. I would highly recommend it.

A great story, told brilliantly

I was never able to really get into the story, not great character development or backstory. I feel the author was focusing on the overall story and throughing you into the "War" and less on the characters? But without much connection to them I couldn't get into the story. I was quite well researched and the technical details of the story reminiscent of authors like Tom Clancy.

Ok, but not great

The story coughs well be tomorrow's news, and the research that has gone into this story makes it topical and relevant. A great "read".

Politically and technically exciting

The synchronisation of future concepts and low tech solutions is the way forward. Great listen.

The future is coming

Absolutely loved it! Wasn’t sure if audiobooks were going to be for me but after listening to Ghost Fleet, I am excited to keep listening to books this way! As for Ghost Fleet itself, it gave a really good perspective on what multi-domain warfare could look like in the future. It had enough depth to keep me entertained the entire story. Highly recommend this book!

My first audiobook.
