About this listen

The true story of Lieutenant Steve Joyner, who carried all the traits of a "perfect Marine" - character, compassion, determination, patriotism . . . an All-American football star. But then came the harsh and unforgiving realities of combat in Vietnam. How the two worlds he inhabited both connected and conflicted reveals the character of an extraordinary man gone far too soon. "Promise Lost is a touching, crisply rendered account of a Marine lieutenant who fell heroically in the final, bloody days of the 1968 battle for Khe Sanh while leading a counterattack into the teeth of an overwhelming enemy assault force," writes Vietnam veteran and author Michael Archer. "Yet, the real story here is of Steve Joyner's life, his personal character, and enormous potential. Dan Moore reliably and deftly weaves this poignant tale of friendship, honor and fate; culminating in the agonizing reality that war does not end on the battlefield; but rather back home, often decades later, within a fallen warrior's circle of family and friends."

The story was great! AI narration was absolutely atrocious!

The story was great , the writing really well done. Captivating account of a young man's life as a Marine officer during the Vietnam war. The story kept my attention , never really slowed down or became uninteresting. Now for the bad part. Apparently this book was narrated by a computer generated AI software program. This AI narration was so awful that it affected the listening in a very negative way. The AI bot mispronounced so many words that it became distracting and confusing. This seems to be a very common issue on Audible and it's having negative effects for a lot of good novels. I don't understand why Audible can't purchase the software for a decent narration experience. If I were the author of a book that was licensed to Audible, I would be furious that the company allowed this to happen to my work and would consider my options for legal action. come on Audible! Do better!
