Publisher's summary

SOME LEGENDS ARE TOO POWERFUL TO UNCOVER

Artifact recovery specialists Sean Wyatt and Tommy Schultz are on the verge of the discovery of a lifetime.

Partnered with another friend from the archaeological community, Craig Freeman, they are hot on the trails of one of the most sought after artifacts in history--a lost scroll created by the Greek inventor, Archimedes.

In the ancient city of Petra, what they find is not what they expected.

The discovery leads to betrayal, leaving Sean and Tommy to be forgotten to the shadows of time.

After a miraculous escape, the two must unravel a series of nearly impossible clues to uncover the truth about the lost scroll, and to prevent their mutinous betrayer from exacting his will on the civilized world.

The Inventor's Tomb is book 23 in Ernest Dempsey's USA Today best selling Sean Wyatt series, and takes readers on a wild thrill ride full of twists, turns, and adventure. Along the way, the colorful characters on both sides of the aisle are tested to their utmost capacity, and must discover truths about themselves they never understood before.

Virtual voice a disappotment

I listen to audible books from Amazon and other sources. This is the first s which I've listened to narrated by a virtual voice and most likely the last.

The virtual voice narration is lacking in dynamic changr to differentiate between character voices, lacking in a voice which sounds realistic or representative of one with stage, radio or performance training, sounding like a young thespias first attempt at reading for a part. I found it to be one element short of boring to listen to and unable to hold my attention at times. The actual range of the virtual voice was bland and lacking character and definition. Granted, my background includes stage performance as an actor and solist as well as radio voice overs, I found any comparison between my background and other audible book narrations and this virtual voice narration to be hugely disappointing.

I believe thr primary reason to use a virtual voice to be economic. I believe that Ernest Dempsey deserves better, even if he were to narrate his own books. I will not buy any more virtual voice narrations until they progress exponentially.

Not a fan of the AI narrator

The story seemed intriguing. I’ll read the book instead of listening. I won’t buy a book with AI in the future.

Inane Dialog,

This was free and I’m grateful for that, since Audible has tightened up their return policy. The dialog was tedious and flat, getting no help from the AI narration. The storyline was just below OK.

Nothing no excitement

AI reading was mono didn't pull the listener into the story. Only finished listening because I don't like not completing a book.
