Ringship Prosper

By: Ginger Booth

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The heroes left behind.

Sass Collier and the Thrive vanished a decade ago to visit another star. Most of her crew stayed behind on their home moon.

Ben Acosta, captain of the ringship Prosper, still joyfully plies the spaceways. Until his ex decides to head into space with an audacious plan.

The Thrive crew reunites to test a faster-than-light breakthrough that could change everything.

Experimental conditions may be adverse. Mileage may vary.

Can Ben keep his decrepit ship flying, help his ex prove ground-breaking new physics, save innocents, steal priceless technology, and pay the kids’ tuition?

The Thrive Space Colony Adventures resume with book 5! Because you love space opera with action and heart.

Virtual voice is horrible and ruins the book! Monotone and the feeling of the story is gone!

Virtual voice ruins the whole audio experience. Books 1-4 were wonderful and had great characters expressed by the narrator. Virtual voice ruins that. Monotone and no feeling in the story. I will never waste another credit on anything virtual voice. A middle school kid could do a better job than virtual voice did. Never again. If. Could give performance-stars I would

AI no soul

The content is good. But the AI has no soul makes it hard to listen to.

Total focus on gay characters.

Virtual voice is unemotional crap. if you're going to cut out the cost of narration then lower the cost. Again... Virtual voice is crap.

AI voice ruins the story

The AI voice is choppy and misses the nuances of a person reading the story. Difficult to listen to. Super disappointing, loved the previous books.

A convincing story, layered characters, good narration

Anyone familiar with this author already knows what to expect — a rich world, varied, deep characters, intricate story line. Ringship Prosper is all of that, in a continuation of a very successful series. I love this series, and this author! The experiment is of course Virtual Voice. I was surprised to find that the voice is not at all distracting. I’m aware that I’m not listening to a human, but I also forget about it and get drawn into the story. I think that’s the measure — do I keep being yanked back into reality? Or can I remain mentally in the story? Virtual Voice has reached the point where I can remain in the story, and forget completely that a robot is reading to me. I’m very glad I gave Virtual Voice a chance!

Total Letdown

I listened to the first four books of this series and thought they were okay. I couldn’t make it through the fourth chapter of this one.
