Publisher's summary
After an experiment goes horribly wrong, a brilliant but obsessive scientist spends decades perfecting a way to alter history and correct his mistake. His time-tampering efforts draw the attention of an old rival, who likewise seeks to alter time for his own nefarious purposes. For a Better Yesterday takes readers on a history-bending journey across space and time, and culminates in an ending that defies reality itself!

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

A century later, the rocket came back. Believed at first to be a piece of space debris, it was soon confirmed to match the description of the ship from the long-lost moon mission. It looks like our rocket, it feels like our rocket, but it is not our rocket. What is it? How did it get here? Who sent it? And why...

It was not the maiden voyage of the intergalactic prototype space vessel, merely a sixty-day test flight. The ship did not even have a name; she was merely called ONE, a designation without dignity. The skeleton crew participating her last “assignment” – that which would precede the actual mission – were derisively referred to as “crash dummies,” meaning they would be expected to step aside when the actual captain and crew assumed their rightful positions for the multi-year mission. Nothing was expected to go wrong. When the unexpected happened – when the ship lost the ability...

Virtual voice not quite there, story didnt hook me
Though virtual voice is much better than I was expecting, it's still not quite there. After a few hours it got very monotonous. When two male characters were conversing, I couldn't distinguish between the two. Story isn't very good either, the main character is supposed to be a super-genius but made stupid decisions. I only made it about 3 hours into the book, between the bad story and dull narration, could not continue.
Edit: Just noticed that this author released 18 books all within a few days. Now I'm wondering if the whole book is AI generated.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
