Source-derived summary

Conspiracy Game is the fourth title in the Ghostwalker series of paranormal romance novels by Christine Feehan, published in 2006 by Penguin Group.

Plot summary

Jack Norton, one of a group of Navy SEALs that were psychically and physically enhanced by Dr. Peter Whitney, called Ghostwalkers, is on a mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to rescue his twin brother, Ken from rebel forces. Ken had led a team sent to save an American senator whose plane had gone down, but Ken himself was then captured and tortured before he was retrieved. When he rescued his brother, Jack too was captured, but was able to escape.

Briony Jenkins takes a walk in the jungle, despite the danger of encountering rebel forces. She is a member of a circus family, called the Flying Five, but she has always been different, as she cannot be around people without feeling constant pain. She is also stronger and faster than either of her four brothers.

Jack encounters Briony while hiding in the jungle, and is immediately aware that she is a Ghostwalker like himself. He is also stunned by his powerful attraction to her.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Conspiracy Game”, the useful work is to connect “novel by Christine Feehan” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5163432. The first chronological checks are 2006.

Critical limits

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
