Good listen and story.

I liked the storytelling but several time the voice faded temporarily and twice I had to backup and rehear it. Otherwise I really liked it a lot. Thank you for the story.

ai learning needs to re-learn a few things.

someone needs to load military diction and have someone listen to it before releasing. leave out the chapter listing and get the damn thing to say O. O. D. and not ooooodd, or J. O. O. D. LCDR, lt. commander.

I agree with others here that the story was great, there were a lot of dead pauses and some of the audio cut out. virtual voice could used a tad bit more polishing. nothing like having an editor listen and correct these issues before release.

Not a fan of the AI reader

The books are good but the AI reading means no inflection, feeling or voice changes of any kind. It made the book cold and at times hard to follow

Never Pay For Virtual Voice

This is the first virtual voice title I've listened to, and I'm glad I didn't pay for it. I've heard worse narration, but this wasn't good.
The story was a typical alien invasion space adventure, I've read better but also far worse.

hard to stay tuned

although it has a wonderful storyline it's not written to keep me captivated. I often tuned out for a couple of days then ca e back to it.

Interesting military operations in space.

Pretty well written in all but the writing is tip toeing around the prejudices that Henry Galliant has to deal with on a daily basis. The writer has introduced several people who are actively trying to destroy Henry's military career. Then there is the son of a corporate CEO who is such a wet blanket.
None of those issues are addressed. No Henry just stands there and nods his head like a bobble head.

Honestly while the book is interesting likely 10 times better if read. The Robot narration is awful. The electronic narration had no flow of words or credible inflections of emotions of the appropriate kind at the appropriate place.
Then there was the dead spots. I actually checked my phone to see if the Audible app had turned off!

It might be a very good idea to boost the sales of the audio book by having a real person read it aloud. I know I would probably do a sorry job narrating these books but still it would be better than the automated narration.

Excellent story

Wonderful narrative bristling with believable action and emotions. I definitely hope that the author intends to continue the series.

The Story is OK. The performance 👎🏻

The voice had little modulation. There was no voice change for different characters. The intonation was incorrect sometimes.
