This title uses virtual voice narration

Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.
When wandering Iraq War veterans Kelton Jager and ex-military working dog Azrael shelter under an overpass from a storm one spring evening, a motorcycle gang makes the fatal mistake of trying to rough them up. While the sheriff conducts his investigation, Kelton begins to discover the small sleepy southern town by the interstate isn’t as quaint and innocent as it appears. The large bale of cash sealed in plastic found at the scene speaks to nefarious activities, and the idealistic young Kelton with his K-9 dutifully assists underfunded local law enforcement in getting to the bottom of things. Even when he realizes they aren’t telling him everything. But his discoveries make clear that his ingrained respect for authority and showing chivalry toward all is being taken advantage of by numerous shady characters trying to preserve their own legacies. Lawless lawmen and damsels not so distressed drive him to reexamine his values to decide which are still worth living by and how those apply in a world twisted by drugs, money, sex and power. Come take a gritty journey of suspense driven by deep desperate characters and soul ripping action. Join Kelton and Azrael settling on a moral course in a world where nobody is perfect and even evil is far from absolute, and making heroic strides in trying to do what is right. Let no one underestimate the unbreakable bond between a man and his dog.

The computer generated narration is so lacking in emotion, change of tone, and proper reading of punctuation that after a few minutes it just becomes background noise.

Tried to listen twice, lost the thread after a chapter or two.

This is the second AI narration I’ve attempted to listen to, and will likely be my last.

Doesn’t hold attention

This was a good book. However, the virtual reading took away the excitement of the book. That voice was the same regardless of who spoke or if it was just narration. Vituall reading is not for me.

Virtual wasn’t too bad but polite bikers seemed silly. I’m trying the next book to see what he gets up to next.

I like the main character

It kept me intrigued, I was captivated by the role of Kenton and his K-9.

Very interesting plot

Narrator was Digital Voice. Violence showed up too soon in book before we get to know the hero. We also learn way too early that a deputy has something to hide. The main character seems to be a slightly altered version of Jack Reacher. Wanders into town, finds trouble, uncovers truth. I couldn’t finish.

There needs to be some proofing of virtual voices, especially when it comes to pronouncing words or names in different languages. This virtual voice, like most, has very little variation emotion expression or character voices. Since virtual voice is used why not a feminine voice for female characters and a masculine voice for males. Some of situations are not very believable, but it is fiction. The protagonists are worth cheering on with some having unique backgrounds. It is fairly predictable but written in a way that makes it hard to put down. Overall the story is good enough to listen to next one to see if there is some variation or one of those series that is the same story with different characters and places.

Interesting characters

The AI narration has no expression or inflections that varies the tone to distinguish between characters, so makes it difficult to follow conversations between characters. This makes the story very flat for an otherwise suspenseful plot and storyline. A great pity.

No to AI

The story was good. This was the first time I’ve ever listen to a virtual voice and it lacked fluctuation, character and panache for the story. Thank you

Really dislike the virtual voice. It looses the emotion. The characters and story was enjoyable just lacked emotion.

Story good, virtual voice bad.
