Publisher's summary

Matthew Doesn't Like the Idea of Killing People.

Killing Beets was one thing, after all, they're the invaders.

People, on the other hand, the act left a bad taste in Matthew's mouth. It also felt like it ripped a piece of his soul out of him.

But, that's his mission. In fact, it's his first real one from a superior officer.

He has to recover the stolen mech and put down those who stole it. Anyone who stood in the way would likely be ready to kill him, so he'd have to act first.

Will Matthew and his newfound allies be able to complete the mission?

Join Matthew as he fights to save Allegra!

Nothing stood out

I can’t discern if it was the virtual voice narration or the writing …but it felt totally flat. I’d like to hear it again read by a professional narrator (who tries to change his pitch with each different character) and see if my impression changes. Maybe Virtual Voice is fine for didactic teaching, but hasn’t quite matured enough for fiction narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
