About this listen

James Robert Scott was 13 when his parents died in an aircar crash and two years later his last remaining immediate family member, his grandfather a Nobel prize-winning physicist disappeared without a trace.

On the day of his 19th birthday, a man with a stainless steel briefcase cabled to his wrist waited outside his classroom door. The letter contained in the case was addressed to James and was postmarked March of 1888, 157 years in the past. The letter indicated that the elder Scott was lost somewhere in time and contained the location of the Time Machine and access codes to the Artificial Intelligence which controlled it. The machine and AI were in a secret complex under his grandfather's old Victorian mansion in the hills above Cleveland.

James would not be alone in his quest to locate his grandfather somewhen in time. His longtime girlfriend, Hiroko McAdams and their two closest friends, language expert Angelina Lincoln and math genius Michael Watson would be part of the grand adventure.

“Virtual Voice” - Blech!

The story was OK, but the virtual voice made a lot of mistakes in using incorrect words. It was rather distracting. Also, virtual voice inflections left a lot to be desired. I think the book would’ve been more enjoyable with human performers.

Didn’t enjoy Virtual Voice

Story line was interesting and enjoyable. Unfortunately the use of Virtual Voice ruined the reading for me. The Voice was flat and could quickly put me to sleep. Will avoid
any Virtual Voice readings in the future.

Fun listen, AI narration not great…

Enjoyed the premise and characters. The AI narration is not great, but still understandable. The male AI voice is stilted and punctuation is at times off. Having also listened to books narrated by the female AI, I prefer the female voice, which has better pronunciation, observance of punctuation, inflection and cadence.
