This title uses virtual voice narration

Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.
Writing the Stonemont series has been one of the most enjoyable and challenging things I have ever done. And for that I thank you, the reader.

When I first started writing what became The Reversion, the first book in the series, I had no idea it would become a book. When it did become a book, I had no idea there would be a second book, and when I finished the second book, I had no idea it would become a series. And now, here we are.

One thing I have particularly enjoyed about writing the Stonemont series is that I have been able to teach principles of preparedness and survival to so many around the world. Another is that I have been able to write about those things I feel are foundational to any society - faith, family, and community. And a third is the relationship I have gained with so many readers who share those principles and find in Stonemont a world they prefer to the world in which we now live.

Of course, there are other things; being able to include family and friends as characters, including lessons to my children who will one day (hopefully) read and understand them, and including observations and lessons from history of which few are aware, but which explain so much of our present and provide us a guide for the future.

But, on the whole, they all come together in what I now think of as the Stonemont "world" - a place where people of like mind come together in the shared experience of living life as it should be lived.

I want to extend a special thanks to all of you "Stonemonters" who have been here from the beginning. You have made this series an unimaginable success. And, while at times I thought it would end after book three, book four, or certainly book five, I can now see no end in sight, as life goes on and so does the story.

I hope you enjoy this book. I look forward to hearing from you. And I look forward to writing the continuing saga of Stonemont!

All the best, and Semper Paratus,

Steve Smith

Thought provoking and enjoyable story line, characters and how problems were handled which led me to examine my own preps.

what stood out is the hillarious misprounciations by the AI of words and abbreviations like AR.

It took awhile to get used to the AI narration.
Found it hilarious at times.
But I didn’t let it stop me from thoroughly enjoying all 6 books.
I expect human narrators are quite expensive.
Audible was the choice I made, but I want to buy the actual books and read them myself.
Pastor Joe Fox was a pleasant surprise in this series.
I am glad he was included.
Looking forward to the next one/s.

Binged this series and can’t wait for more!
