This title uses virtual voice narration

Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.
The crew of starship Antori have been hired to transport a shipping container to a nearby star system, and it's their biggest payday yet. But when one of the crew accidentally opens the container, they find themselves up against a terrifying extraterrestrial. Now, the crew must fight to stay alive as the deadly creature begins its hunt.

The Cargo is a 55,000 word, science fiction horror in the vein of Aliens and Mimic. Tonally, the story is dark, with an ever-looming sense of impending horror just beyond the next hatchway.
It’s tense, foreboding and teetering at the edge of hopelessness, a frighteningly visceral journey of survival. Fiction Science Fiction Technothrillers Thriller & Suspense Scary Exciting

the story was good enough. AI narration was horrible. wish there was a way to opt out of that, it takes away from voice actors AND aspiring writers. really sad this was the only option to access this book. mind you, for articles or academic papers something monotonous reading is fine, for a piece of art it should not be allowed.

AI narration should be banned

a large monstrosity hunts down the crew of a cargo spaceship. sound familiar? this is not exactly an offshoot of the classic alien movies from yesteryear, but it is rather similar. in this story The Monster is brought on board as cargo, which a drunken crewman unwittingly releases. now don't snicker, the monster turns out to be a giant mosquito. sounds crazy, but it actually works. the action does not take long to start, and overall the story is well done. I liked it.

an okay sci-fi horror.

hate the AI voice, the story is mid at most but ok as background noise. the characters are as flat as paper.

I liked the story and the characters. I had great difficulty finishing because of offensive profanity on every page. Unnecessary and unwelcome. Virtual voice is surprisingly realistic.

Good story; offensive vulgar language
