About this listen

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

What would the world be like without America? The attack only takes a few minutes to sweep from coast to coast. When it ends, nearly everyone on mainland USA is gone. Every policeman. Every housewife. Every trucker. Everyone. A continent free for the taking.... Ted MacInnis is a backup pilot on Air Force Two, over the Atlantic, when it happens. A warrior by nature, he can do little but listen as the radio signals from his homeland fade away and die.

Story
It's been three long years since Deadbreak. That's what everyone's calling it - the day the dead rose. Every day since then, Jeremiah Reid has had one goal: to make his way back to his daughter. With his four-legged companion, Joe, Jeremiah has to travel a lawless wasteland teeming with zombies, bandits, and worse, like people who put anchovies on pizza (you know who you are). It's a new world out there, and no one is safe. People are weary, cities are in ruin, supplies are scarce, and brains are on the menu.

Good book, not so good narration
As the title states, the book was good. I just didn’t enjoy the virtual voice. It doesn’t convey emotion at all.
The issue I had with the book itself was that we didn’t get enough monsters. I was excited to read this based on the fact that there were some evil lurking in the woods. But it was more about the survivors of the aftermath, then the entities themselves. The book touched on these new species and how the town lost power, but it wasn’t enough (in my opinion). I’m moving on to book 2 in hopes of getting answers.

The narration was distracting and not very good
The narration was distracting from the story. I don’t think I can listen to the computer narration and enjoy a book.

get rid of the virtual voice
Okay this is the second book that I've listened to with virtual voice.. let's just call it what it is AI and it sucks. I hate when the storyline sounds dead because there is no emotion where there needs to be. Without the emotions there are times where you have to go back and listen to a part because you don't know which character is speaking. They all sound the same flat with no definition. I like it when somebody reads the book and you can tell the difference between the characters and the storyline has more personality with the AI it sounds completely dead.

AI Narration Falls short
I enjoyed the story very much; however the computer generated AI narration was void of emotion and acting out the right tones during dramatic events. I will likely not listen to the other books in the series since I was very annoyed by the computer generated narration in book 1.

The AI voice doesn't bother me at all - I like it!
I see that a lot of people complain about the AI narration... I think they doth protest to hear themselves speak. I liked it.
The story line is imaginative holds the readers' attention.
I will buy more books from this author!

Edge of your seat story
Despite complaints about the AI voice narration, this was a very good story. Every major character had depth, and there was a realism to their human flaws, frailties and virtues. It is a story of good versus evil, and as it developed it kept me on the edge of my seat. Well, written action, sequences; A nice mix of science, fiction, thriller, with a touch of dystopian literature. Though the AI voice lacks emotion, my imagination was able to compensate. And it was worth it. Looking forward to book 2. Strongly recommend

Great book
The history is really good. Great characters. Virtual voice is not good, but the history makes it worthwhile.
