Now for the first time in one big volume, two complete novels of Dr. Johan Eschbach, professor at a small college in the northeast and secret agent for the government of Columbia. There is no USA, and Columbia shares the continent with Quebec, New France (Medico), Deseret, and Russia (in Alaska). It is an alternate history, reality shaped by the fact that ghosts are not mere superstitions, but have a literal physical reality - and political implications - because crimes can haunt, and the ghosts of crimes are visible to others.

Reviews for Ghosts of Columbia (Of Tangible Ghosts and Ghost of the Revelator Omnibus)

Modesitt spins quite a web of treachery and deceit in which our hero and his wife impressively come out on top. -- Romantic Times on The Ghost of the Revelator Meticulously extrapolated...Alternate world tales and espionage thrillers both demand an abundance of intricate detail to be convincing and Modesitt doesn't stint for either thread of his narrative. -- The Washington Post Book World on Of Tangible Ghosts Possibly Modesitt's best book, it's certainly highly recommended. -- Booklist on Of Tangible Ghosts
