About this listen

I never believed in UFOs—until I found one in my backyard…

Alex is just a normal guy who works at a computer repair shop and dreams away his life. That is, until one day, he literally stumbles across a hidden spaceship.

Together with his best friends, Joey and Lucy, he explores the vessel. They find the pilot dead, but the sentient ship AI is very much alive—and she needs their help.

The friends decide to embark on an adventure into the unknown.

Soon, they find themselves on a crazy ride through space, facing aliens, pirates, smugglers, and humorless space authorities…

Will Alex and his friends find their way home? And do they even want to?

A space adventure for fans of Backyard Starship and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy!

This book was very cute and action packed. It was a light read and kept me entertained. The only thing is I really really don’t like the virtual narration. No matter how human like the voices are becoming, it still sounds robotic. Inflections are all kinds of wrong. This did prevent me from getting as involved in the book as I otherwise would have been.

Adventurous story

An old story line. Author did a great job of keeping it interesting. Computer generated audio was better than I expected. A good read for a lazy day.

A familiar story line. Fun to listen to while doing other things. Well written.

I really wanted to give this book a chance... I really did... but I'm halfway through and I'm done with it.

Performance:
As advertised... Virtual Voice... zero personality, zero emotion, zero texture, zero richness.... I hope this is not a new trend in Audible... Not exactly droning out... but it is boring to listen to... and the way it pronounces certain words (bad-asses???) is ridiculous... NEVER AGAIN choosing a audiobook "performed" by software.
Reading something is not the same as Narrating it or Performing it.

Story:
Started as a cheap rip-off of Roadkill... developed quite quickly into a senseless plot... no build-ups. Just things happening without explanation as to how...
The characters have no brains, no planning ahead skills, no sense of self-preservation nor curiosity... Will they ever ask relevant questions? Will they even think a little before just jumping in to whatever situation?
i.e. They find a body; don't ask any questions about it; decide to just pick it up and bury it in the woods; and next thing you hear is that somebody sits in the same seat they found it, without giving a second thought or push for real answers? Seriously??!!

I have not dislike an audiobook so much in quite a long time.
Never thought that I would get tired and bored of listening to the word "ADVENTURE"

Not sure if a human narrator would have made any difference in my opinion about this book. I probably may have finished listening to the whole thing... who knows.

I apologize for the harsh review but this is not a title I would recommend to anybody.

I'm sorry.... but NO
