About this listen
Someone murdered Morgan Djai’s brilliant but estranged brother. When they killed him, he had a $10,000 chunk of platinum in the pocket of his jeans.
Morgan has problems of his own. His company’s been bought out, he’s been laid off, and his wife’s having an affair. Better yet, she’s planning to take everything he has in a divorce.
As Morgan tries to assume his duties as guardian for his brother’s teenage children he’s confronted with the mystery of why his brother died carrying a piece of platinum.
Morgan’s fifteen year old niece is striking in appearance but hostile in attitude. His nephew’s pleasant but defers all questions about the platinum to his sister.
It slowly becomes evident that Morgan’s brother made the platinum. People who wanted his secret killed him. His niece knows how Morgan’s brother created the platinum but doesn’t want to tell Morgan.
The people who killed his brother still want the platinum…
And it seems as if Morgan’s adopted son Adam is his only ally.
Damn…

Story
April is an exceptional young lady and something of a snoop. After a chance encounter with a spy, she finds herself involved with political intrigues that stretch her abilities. There is a terrible danger she, and her friends and family, will lose the only home she has ever known, and be forced to live on the slum ball Earth below. It's more than an almost fourteen year old should have to deal with. Fortunately she has a lot of smart friends and allies. It's a good thing because things get very rough and dicey. They challenge the political status quo, and with a small population the only ...

Story
When a guy tries to roofie her, young surgeon Ryn Wilkie is catapulted onto a parallel Earth that’s at the technological level of the late 1800s. Confronted with a society where women's voices are stifled and medical advancements are non-existent, Ryn's despair turns to determination when she discovers her ability to flip between worlds. Can she leverage her abilities to advance their technology and challenge those deep-seated gender biases, or will the weight of their traditions prove insurmountable? And, can she stop the guy who attacked her before he hurts other women?

Story
Benjamin, Mark, and Chloe were all set to graduate college in a few weeks. Ben had ordered a strange object from eBay to use as cover art for a book he was writing. It looked really cool, like a slightly charred old military artifact from 70 years ago. It was possibly part of an engine. After cleaning it up (it was found in a cow field), he placed the strange device on his dorm room desk directly over the wireless charging port. That woke it up. Unknown to him, the disabled starship hiding on the moon could now communicate with the missing part. The ship needed two things: 1) The missing ...

Story
Telekinetic is the first of a series of post-apocalyptic stories featuring the Hyllis family. The collapse of civilization has reduced their people back to iron and horsepower. The Hyllises tend to inherit “tele-talents” such as telekinesis and teleportation. Tarc Hyllis’ mother (and his grandfather before her) could “feel” things with their talent. Tarc’s father can “push” objects with his mind. Then some strangers show up to scout the town where the Hyllises live. Could Tarc’s powers, weak as they are, play a role in resisting this invasion?

Highly Recommend
Why? ANY new title by Dr. Lawrence E. Dahners is like returning to my happy home with flowers outside buzzing with bees and the smell of cut grass on a warm spring day. Perhaps the way he builds his characters throughout the story, maybe how they become heroes or heroins, his "good" characters are thoroughly beautiful men and women and they overcome the "bad" characters with an enjoyably indulgent VENGENCE. But all his stories are like bliss to my ears weather Virtual Voice or a talented Voice Artist. His stories mend my soul leaving my life a little better each book. I'm left feeling that Dahners' moral compass guides his imaginings just like his fingers have mended many sadly broken bones, now his fingers mend my very soul with the optimistic hope and enthusiasm for goodness only the "Doctor of Science Fiction" can deliver.
I'm completely full of myself ! Hoo-Yeah !

Please don't use the AI narrator again.
This was a fairly engaging story. Interesting ideas and plot. Hardly any Sci-Fi if that's what you were looking for. The AI narrator is absolutely dreadful.
Not really up to the standards I've expected from this author (who I usually love)

Narration is understandable. Good story.
This is a good story. The Virtual Voice is much better than text to speech but a live voice actor is better. The p;f "Text to speech" mispronounces a lot of words ie. read pronounced "Reed" rather than "Red" or even IV (medical) pronounce "fourth" instead of "eye" "vee". Virtual voice almost eliminates this problem.
a good actor varies the tone and even the regional accent making the audio book much easier to follow. I approve the Virtual voice as it is better than text to speech for all of us visually impaired.
AI voice is coming along pretty fast. Pitch, tone, speed, even mood are now adjustable. This could be good. Certainly could get audio books out faster for the writers
I would much prefer a voice actor

Nice science m/adventure plot ruined by bad narration
The narration was awful! No differentiation between characters, mispronunciations, awful acronyms. If this had been read by a human, I would expect them to be terminated for incompetence.

Great Story: Not a fan of AI narration
I've read this story before I listened to it. So I know it's a great story. The AI narration though leave a lot of the nuances of a story teller out. An actual person give emotion to the story if told right. The AI lacks that.

Disappointed by Virtual Voice
I have looked forward to more books by Laurence Dahners coming to audio, but Virtual Voice dims the experience. The electronic voice is not unpleasant, but it provides no variation between characters and misses the emphasis in many sentences. I have heard worse from some human narration, but I was hoping for more than "not the worst".

The amount of long pauses get annoying. Did not notice an announcement that it was AI text to voice.

Fun little story.
It took a while to get used to the AI narration. At first the unnatural pauses were very annoying, but once the the story captured my attention, the narration was not that noticeable.
I am assuming that this is one of Mr. Dahners earlier works as it did not seem as polished as his latter books. I am glad that it was published on Audible, and will probably listen to it several times over the years. I just wish that it had a better narrator and a few sequels.
Thanks for the entertaining story.
