Starcraft: Ghost Academy, Volume One - by Keith DeCandido (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Elite Soldiers known as ghosts are trained to use their
special psychic powers for military operations, and one Ghost Academy cadet,
Nova, must handle both her teammates and her own demons.

Ghost
Academy chronicles the early years of six StarCraft characters all destined for
greatness-and tragedy. Five teenaged fourth-class Terrans (Nova, Tosh, Aal,
Kath, and Lio) are rough-around-the-edges Ghost cadets in training - and they
are forced to deal with everyday teen issues such as crushes, physical and emotional
pain, addiction to drugs and their own budding telepathic abilities.

Keith is also an editor (having supervised several book lines and put together dozens of anthologies), musician (percussionist for the Don't Quit Your Day Job Players, the Boogie Knights, and others), pop culture commentator (he writes for both Tor.com and his own Patreon at patreon.com/krad) and a third-degree black belt in Kenshikai karate (he both trains and teaches).
