Jackson Nightingale's Ghost Operations: Search for the Panis Vitae – A New Interactive Gamebook Adventure

NATIONWIDE - APRIL 2025 - (USAnews.com) - Jackson Nightingale introduces an exciting new interactive action-adventure experience with Ghost Operations Division: Search for the Panis Vitae, a unique game book that reinvents the traditional "Choose Your Own Adventure" style. Written in the "Choose Your Own Character – Go Your Own Way" format, this debut offering from Nightingale challenges readers to make critical decisions that can determine the fate of the protagonist. With three unique characters to choose from, Ghost Operations Division: Search for the Panis Vitae offers a refreshing blend of storytelling, adventure, and interactivity.

The book, intended for readers ages 13 and older, offers a novel take on game books. It allows readers to step into the shoes of one of three protagonists: Olivia, a brilliant analyst; Xavier, a skilled operative; and Maya, an expert in Krav Maga, sniper training, and counterintelligence. Each character’s path offers unique storylines, creating a distinct experience with every decision. In total, the book features over 40 possible endings, allowing readers to explore multiple narrative outcomes based on their choices.

“The traditional Choose Your Own Adventure-style books were a cornerstone of interactive reading, but they’ve been largely absent in the modern book market. With Ghost Operations Division, I wanted to breathe new life into this genre by offering a fresh and engaging experience,” said Jackson Nightingale, author of the book. “What makes this game book stand out is not just the interactive format, but the opportunity for readers to choose their protagonist, each with a unique set of skills and traits that influence the outcome of the story. It’s an action-packed adventure where every decision matters.”

Unlike traditional game books that follow a single character's journey, Ghost Operations Division elevates the concept by offering multiple protagonists, each with their own perspective and abilities. Readers can step into the boots of Olivia, using her analytical skills to navigate through complex scenarios, solve a cryptogram and a Caesar cipher, or opt for Xavier’s daring tradecraft to embark on covert missions. For those who prefer a more physically demanding adventure, Maya’s combat prowess and counterintelligence expertise offer a thrilling path. The wide range of choices ensures that no two readers will experience the same journey, providing endless replay value.

The interactive nature of the book is not only designed to entertain but also to immerse readers in a deeply engaging world where their choices lead to different outcomes—success or failure. This ensures a personalized experience that resonates with fans of action and adventure, while the character-driven plot allows readers to explore the implications of their decisions.

Ghost Operations Division: Search for the Panis Vitae is available in both digital and print formats, making it accessible to a wide audience. Whether readers are new to game books or longtime fans of the genre, this book offers an immersive, interactive adventure like no other.

Nightingale, who prefers to remain anonymous to focus on his craft rather than personal recognition, has already garnered attention for his debut work. Despite being a newcomer to the literary world, Ghost Operations Division has captured the imagination of readers eager to rediscover the thrill of interactive storytelling.

“I believe in the power of good storytelling,” Nightingale continued. “My aim was to create a story that’s not just fun, but one that readers can engage with on a deeper level. Every decision they make is meaningful, and each protagonist offers a different experience and unique backstory. I think people are ready for something new, and I’m excited for them to explore what Ghost Operations Division has to offer.”
