Emergence: Infection

A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller

De: JT Sawyer

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A deadly virus originating in China grips the Eastern hemisphere.

Chaos reigns as the infection spreads throughout the world with alarming speed.

The world's experts rush to cure it, but are they too late?

CIA agent Will Reisner and his team head to the South China Sea on a mission - find a lost ship loaded with bio-weapons. But as they search, a terrible virus plagues the local population, leaving them worm-ridden and insane. Worse, the sick refuse to be contained and spread the disease by infecting the healthy. Will joins epidemiologist Selene Munroe in her desperate attempt to keep the virus from becoming an epidemic, but its victims have formed a hive mind that affords them military-level tactics.
Can Will and Selene stop the insanity before it reaches the West, or are they the newest recruits for an army of death that is bent on absorbing the human population into its ranks?

Emergence is a sci-fi thriller that grabs hold of you and never lets go! Fans of I am Legend, and Robert Heinlein’s, The Puppet Masters, will love the Emergence series. Find out why fans call it, “riveting, haunting, and brilliantly written,” and say it deserves, “10 stars!!!”

Well done. Def recommend.

Bad: The mispronounced words by the AI reader are funny and stupidly annoying. They shoot are 's (AR), medical patients get 4's (IV) for just a few. Pretty sure this should be fixable by a magical programmer.

Good: Loved the entire series. So well done by JT Sawyer. It has a believable world setting and cast of characters yet is completely fantastical. It's rather fun to have a different twist on zombies and also so disgustingly gross. Well done!

The storyline was well written with the perfect amount of detail.

The AI was 3stars and lacked emotion and detail you would get from a human reading it. There were a noticable amount of run on sentences.

Virtual voice killed the story!

First, the story is actually very good and worth the READ!
Why actually read it? Because the virtual voice is so awful. Let’s look at the many reasons why:
1. It cannot give tones and inflections that make the story. Instead it sounds like a bunch of words put together that are all over the place.
2. The narration does not change for the different characters. That in itself makes the “narrator” produce a flat version of what is otherwise a good story.
3. Virtual voice does not know how to handle words like: Ebola (pronounced ebb a lah by the system). KIA is three letters not the Kia car brand. Dominguez - somehow the name comes across as Domin E guess. Nope.
4. The sense of urgency that comes with a military action sounds like a microphone check before a Taylor Swift concert.

For the sake of a really good book have Ray Porter redo this book. He would hit it out of the ballpark. It’s right up his genre

AI voice

Not a bad story but having to listen to that AI voice is unbearable. I won’t be listening to any more in the series. So if any authors actually read the reviews please stop using AI
