About this listen
Forced to think fast, Cody teams up with a brilliant young engineer named Ellaz to scavenge the wreckage of a lunar shipyard and construct a new starship – a ship capable of outrunning annihilation and carrying a warning to the rest of the galaxy.
But building a ship is only half the battle. Cody and Ellaz must master cutting-edge technology, confront impossible choices, and face a chilling truth: sometimes, saving a life means sacrificing everything.
New York Times Bestselling Author Todd McCaffrey takes you on a wild ride with Cody’s War.

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
Annie has always had high hopes for her future. But the reality of her life just isn’t measuring up. She loves her fiancé, Greg–doesn’t she? She’s going to get her degree and open her own business–won’t she? Then, a strange old woman shows up outside her house, and she seems to know a lot about Annie. An awful lot. Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

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.

When he makes his first combat drop, or cherry drop, he’s a know-nothing second lieutenant added to the mission roster as an afterthought.

Virtual voice
My first thought about the virtual voice was that it was remarkably good. But after a bit, I started noticing the word dash coming up really often and it was confusing me. Eventually I realized the AI was reading the marking to indicate aching off in the middle of a thought literally instead of just using it as punctuation. I found this very irritating and distracting. As I continued to listen, I realized the AI did not make dramatic pauses when appropriate, did not slow or speed up according to the story. in general, it acted like a computer instead of a human being. I’d rather listen to a human.

2nd Grade Story Time
I'm sure the story would be good if it weren't for the virtually emotionless, monotonic AI voice. The voice inflections are flat, bland and too unemotional when there's serious action going on. It just sounds like my second grade teacher just reading aloud. I'd rather pay $13 for a proper human narration.

Well as this was the first book that I have listened by an AI voice. It was quite good and a interesting start to what I am sure will be a enjoyable series.

Kid Power! (Virtual Voice became irritating, though.)
Definitely aimed at pre-teens, the story is okay, but it should not use virtual voice. Virtual voice keeps saying "dash" when the - is used at the end of a sentence, and it doesn't handle abbreviations well, either. Some of the science might be tough for younger kids, and the virtual voice makes it even harder without a print-out so the kids can look up what they don't understand. Getting the ebook and Audible together might be better.
Todd McCaffrey often uses kids as the main characters, and this book follows that pattern. I know that kids can often do more than we give them credit for, but I think this went a bit overboard. Yes, there are a few adults and robots to help them, but not enough to accomplish the activities. Otherwise, the story is good. The characters are likable and the story makes one feel that kids can do anything!

The stilted artificial narration made this impossible book to listen to.
Artificial narrator needs a TON of improvement. Live narrators have nothing to worry about. Don't waste your money.

Painfully bad AI reading
The emotionless voice makes this a painful read. The story is hardly what you would expect from the author. It’s trite, predictable, and boring. Clones. In space. That know more than they should. Over explaining everything.
Definitely not worth using a credit on it.

Awful reading of a bad story
The readers cadence was simply awful. I couldn’t listen to it for any amount of time.
