About this listen

The war between different alien groups lasted for over 2,300 years. But Keith Robinson didn't know anything about that. He assumed that the job he had applied for was to work on an Arctic research ship. He thought that he would be assembling parts for upgraded sonar buoys. He thought wrong.

The AI on the derelict spaceship was open to lying if that could finally get the ship repaired. Hiring a repair technician from the primitive planet Earth was a crazy plan. And even crazier, it worked.

After salvaging an alien ship, Keith now finds himself the ship's owner. But something is deadly wrong in the depths of space. With the help of a temperamental AI, Keith then manages to rescue several alien refugees from stasis pods on damaged ships.

They head off to one more promising location to try, a supposedly minor mining station so insignificant that they had hoped the war had missed it.

They were out of luck.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish it. It reads too much like a technical manual instead of a story.

Despite the virtual voice, I enjoyed the story. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Surprisingly good

Story was not bad but the flat same cadence of voice is not adding to it. One of not many stories where engineering activities were were somewhat actually estimated when it comes to time.

Virtual narrator is net yet good

The virtual voice was the same for all the characters. Several times I had to pause and review the book because male, female, alien, and AI were the same voice and I could not tell who was speaking. I would much rather have a printed copy than this mess. After this I will probably not listen to any books not narrated by a human.

Entertaining plot and it was not a cliff hanger for the next book. One primitive human taking on the entire galaxy and winning. Fun.

The virtual voice destroyed this book

The story wasn't bad, but I couldn't take the AI voice any longer, it's really to bad.

The AI voice is hard to listen to

It seems to me that this book was likely written or cyst written with AI. One of the primary characters is an AI. And of course it is REDD using an AI voice. Whatever the whole combination it was intriguing. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a great story, but it minimum is a worthwhile experiment. I’ll continue to read the series or listen I suppose.

It’s the AI portion that’s so interesting
