Adventures of the Gunship Marathon (Box Set: Missions 1-5)

De: Daniel Young

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

"It started out with a bang and just got better." -Goodreads reviewer

Over 1,000 pages of nonstop action! If there's one thing Adam Eckhart knows, it's that humans are trouble. After all, he is one.

As captain of the Marathon, a cobbled-together ship crewed by aliens and androids scraping by on odd jobs at the outskirts of settled space, Adam has plenty to worry about without adding his own species to the mix.

But when a pair of mortally wounded humans cross his path during a heist gone wrong, he finds himself compelled to save them.

Big mistake.

Because if there's one more thing Adam knows, it's that the universe never leaves a good deed unpunished.

He and his crew are about to find out just how right he is.

Includes the first 5 books in the Marathon series:

• Bad Cargo
• Hidden World
• Trapped
• Lost Star
• War Dead

Five star reviews for Bad Cargo, book 1 in the series:

"I absolutely couldn’t put the book down. Full of action, suspense, intrigue, drama and deceit throughout the the story!"

"Quick and to the action straight away. Reminds me of the stories in the old pulp sci-fi magazines."

"When I’m ready to read for pure escape and entertainment, I’m happy to know that Mr. Young will have another book or series ready for me!"

AI is not ready to narrate

story was probably better than it seemed. AI is getting really good, it now sounds human, just a really bad human.

No fall up on what bookshould continue

There’s no end to the book leave you hanging no references of what’s going to happen next

Fantastic fantasy

These books were an enjoyable retreat from reality. The author brought his characters to life in my mind eye.

I Was Surprised Hosy Much I Enjoyed This

I was questioning the idea of an AI as the narrator with virtual voice. I don't know if I should be satisfied or frightened by how unnoticeable it was and how enjoyable this narration was "performed". This was an extremely satisfying listening experience. The story kept my interest and attention about 93% of the time. I call that a win. The character development would be an area of improvement for this writer. I did want to know more, especially the back stories, which the main characters obviously had and the assumptions made and dialogue that was intended to bring us up to speed, were lacking, but it did not keep me from continuing. I still want to know how the main character ended up
"in the fringe". I believe you will enjoy this listen.

Just good ole fashion sci fy.

So the characters are great. But they are missing a lot of back story which creates holes in the story. But it's 94% great. AI narration is spot on too.

Buckle up, we’re going for a ride!

Started with edge of your seat action from the very beginning! I never imagined where the tale would lead. So ready to see were the adventure goes from here.

the flat voice of the A,I, narrator.

over all good book, I enjoyed the book collection! but the voice of the A,I, narration was a little lacking in excitement or even emotional transition... but with that said, over all it was good. worth the time.

Good story

I don't care much for AI reading. There are to many mistakes that take you out of the flow.

Good story

I like the story, but I did not like the virtual voice. The virtual voice lacked finer human cadence.

The story is good but

I ended giving up on listening to this book, and opted to just read the series. The story and characters are fun, but there were enough acting errors in the narration to drive me nuts.
