About this listen

From TheReadingCafe.com: "the characters are diverse, distinctive and unconventional but such are the personalities of every entertaining story of science fiction. CORVUS ASCENDING begins slowly but accelerates at 'warp speed'."

Wisecracking star-sailor Gus Johansson’s beach bum retirement suddenly goes from boring to blazing when he pulls a 1400-year-old robot and a sentient spaceship from the sea. Soon, Gus and his crew of misfits are in the fight of their lives against an old enemy. The vengeful Captain Harrison “Hazy” Grey is convinced he can finally get his Admiral’s flag by capturing that ship; and he doesn’t care who he has to kill to do it.

The book is really good, but the automatic narration still wrestles with some serious authenticity issues: Emphasis on certain syllables and words in certain situations, especially when people are under stress, is just not there. This makes the narration really flat and so annoying in the long run I had to stop listening even though i liked the book.

Good book, below par automated narration

The story was not bad. kind of seemed like a first attempt to write a story. Probably be better narrated by a person and not an AI. it was a free book so that made it a really good book.

Hard to follow with the AI narration.
