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.

Story
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.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

People love easily. Look at most of your relatives or coworkers. How lovable are they? Really? Yet most have mates and children. The vast majority are still invited to family gatherings and their relatives will speak to them. Many have pets to which they are devoted. Some even call them their fur-babies. Is your dog or cat or parakeet property or family? Not in law but in your heart? Can a pet really love you back? Or is it a different affection? Are you not kind to those who feed and shelter you? But what if your dog could talk back? Would your cat speak to you kindly?

Most of my writing is in a series people seem to enjoy but there is a constant small crowd who say: I'd really like your take on an alien invasion story. Well this is for them. The bulk of the aliens come to Earth stories assume their vast superiority, sometimes invincibility. Sometimes they suddenly appear on the white house lawn dictating terms. I have yet to see one with them appearing at the Kremlin or Canberra which seems rather parochial.

Telekinetic is the first of a series of post-apocalyptic stories featuring the Hyllis family. The collapse of civilization has reduced their people back to iron and horsepower. The Hyllises tend to inherit “tele-talents” such as telekinesis and teleportation. Tarc Hyllis’ mother (and his grandfather before her) could “feel” things with their talent. Tarc’s father can “push” objects with his mind. Then some strangers show up to scout the town where the Hyllises live. Could Tarc’s powers, weak as they are, play a role in resisting this invasion?

Not bad for a digital narrator
yes, it's digitally narrated, so it's not as good as a human narrator, but it's one of the best digital narrations that I've heard, and one I don't mind listening to.
Yes, there are some word mispronunciations, but you just need to let the author know and he'll pass it on to his editor. There's already been corrections made to the audiobook.
As always, a good story, and I'll keep listening to the series even if it's just a digital narrator.

Love the April Series, Virtual Voice not so much
I was delighted to see April in audio. The plucky young libertarians who take on the superpowers pushes several buttons for me. The only good thing I can say about Virtual Voice is that it is better than nothing. If this is the only way to get certain books on audio, I guess I will live with it. One problem is the AI confuses nouns and verbs that are spelled the same, making the sentence context confusing. Also, without an actor distinguishing characters by voice and without being able to see quotation marks, it can take several sentences before I can determine who is speaking. Often the author expects you to follow dialogue by quotation mark cues. Voice actors know this and clue the listener in with inflection. All in all its mentally taxing to adjust while listening.

love it's out in audio
I have been reading the April books since the first one came out. They are the first books that I intentionally reread and audio means I can reread while doing something else. I hope the rest of the series gets released soon. Now on the subject of AI narration, some reviews are crying about it, some complaining about it mispronounced acronyms. Acronyms are pronounced as a word or a string of letters, the narrator has to know which, human narrators get it wrong all the time. I listened to a series where SUV was pronounced Susie for three books before someone corrected him. It's about the story, enjoy it. Keep it up.

Excellent.. April the beginning
Love all of Mackey Chandler’s stories. I’ve read the April series 3 times, and am delighted to be able to listen to this one. I was delighted when the Family Law series came out, and astounded to have Lee and April meet up down the pike.
Virtual Voice is amazing. The narration lacks personalized voices for the different characters, but is totally reasonable listen to.. I never could get into the LibraVox books, but this is great. PLEASE do the rest of April’s series for Audible.. I’m working through the Family Law audiobooks now, but gotta say April’s series are my favorites (along with Ell Donsaii, of course)

Computer voice, such a failure
The computer voice is a downer when it comes to a series. I have read this series and it truly is a great story. Please use a human to read this story as the highs and lows are very important.

A mediocre real narrator would be better
This book and the entire April series are favorites of mine. Mackey Chandler has created a wonderful set of characters and the near future world building deserves top marks.
I was excited to see April finally appear as an audiobook but the virtual narrator was suspicious.
After completing the book the best I can say for the virtual narration is it’s better than no audiobook. The lack of character differentiation for dialogue is painful and the way acronyms are handled will make you grind your teeth.
It would be 10 times better with a real narrator, but as an April fan this was better than nothing.

Great Hard Sci-Fi story
April Series has been one of my favorite series of all time. I am looking forward for the next audiobook.
Pros:
* Near future Story and very believable (starts in 2083)
* A tense, suspenseful story.
* Great plot and characters.
* Man is just starting living in space.
* A little bit libertarian.
* Super fun.
Cons:
* While a professional narrator could be better, it is still pretty decent.
* Some problems with virtual voice pronouncing USNA.

Great For AI
The only real downside would be a couple awkward phrasings due to the AI reading acronyms as whole words. Occasionally a word here and there would be a bit goofy. Overall, better than some live narrators I have listened to. Considering the author himself is deaf (so as to be unable to checkbout live narrators) and the cost of making audio books, this AI reading is a very good alternative.
