This is a space adventure story focusing around the capture
of Captain Chase Leighton’s wife by the Legacy for her involvement with the
Ghosts. It follows Chase and the Ghost’s
attempts to rescue her resulting in Chase’s capture and placement on a ship for
those with mental problems. There he
encounters his wife who has undergone brain therapy and doesn’t recognize
him. Ultimately it’s a battle to escape
the Legacy and get his wife’s memory back.
The story is an intriguing one, but it could have been much
better had there been more background.
There is a lot that the reader has to guess at. Chase is Logia and a Ghost. The Ghost portion was explained, but all the
reader knows about the Logia is that they have special powers. It is not explained how they get those powers
or what the different powers are. Also,
it is unclear why this group is in opposition to the Legacy. There is reference to the Crown and the
Legacy’s opposition to the Crown, but why?
This would have led to a more fully fleshed out story and would have
made it more interesting.
This book would be good for those who enjoy a good sci-fi
story, but don’t need a lot of back-story to go with it. Hopefully if there are more Circeae Tales,
some of the gaps will be filled in.
