This title uses virtual voice narration

Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.
A cataclysmic earthquake shatters the Cascadia Subduction Zone, triggering massive tremors, 100-foot tsunamis, and the collapse of entire cities.

The destruction spirals across the West Coast and beyond, ripping open the San Andreas fault and other hidden fractures in the Earth's crust. Civilization unravels, leaving the once-thriving West Coast in ruins.

But the true nightmare is just beginning.

In Oregon, the ground refuses to settle. New and terrifying threats emerge as the survivors struggle to make sense of a world torn apart.

Among them are Reed Walker, a battle-hardened EMT from Albany, and Chloe Cooper, a resilient high school biology teacher. Together, with children and dogs in tow, they must navigate a landscape of chaos and danger.

But surviving the tremors is just the start. They must face obstacles beyond imagination, trust each other, and fight to escape before the earth swallows them whole.

Wreckage Road—a relentless, high-stakes thriller where survival is just the beginning. Get ready for a wild ride! Genre Fiction Nature & Ecology Outdoors & Nature Post-Apocalyptic Science Science Fiction Survival Natural Disaster Emotionally Gripping

Story was not realistic in the way they would’ve needed food, water, rest, and shelter, but it was fun in the way that they would stop and tell every dog cat an animal person and child. Upbeat story. Thumbs down on virtual reader.

Virtual voice didn’t know where to put the energy in sentences and paragraphs for the story to interesting thumbs down

Compelling! Action packed!

I enjoyed the story, however I did not like the "virtual voice". I like when real readers do different voices and better inflection on the exciting parts. I hope audiobooks will NOT be narrated this was in the future.

good story, bad narration

I listened to the audio and it used a computer generated voice didn’t. Are for the voice at first but the story was good and I figured I’d manage listening.

Good read

I had already decided to never buy a book narrated by AI, but out of curiosity and considering this book was free, I figured I'd give it a listen. It 100% reaffirmed my decision. The story maybe could have been good, I'll never know because I'll never finish it. While it didn't sound like robotic narration, you could still easily tell it was. The inaccurate pauses and run-ons, the mispronounced words and just a plain lack of human feeling ruined the whole thing. I laughed out loud the first time I heard it read "Ford F one hundred and fifty" instead of a Ford F one fifty like any living narrator would know to say. Unfortunately it kept repeating that, and it became less funny and more annoying really quickly. Audible, PLEASE don't screw this up. Stop using virtual voice. No matter how good it gets, audiobooks will never be the same if the human essence is removed.

This book proves why Audible shouldn't use Virtual Voice
