The Imprisoned Earth

By: Vaughn Heppner

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

I had one job, keeping the super-genius Dr. Calidore alive on the Allan Corporation Voyager Manhattan.

The spaceship was run like a pirate vessel, part of a multi-corporation fleet racing to claim an alien asteroid vessel that had just appeared beyond the moon. None of us knew the Chin Corporation Voyager had nuclear-tipped torpedoes and planned to murder the lot of us. Well, no one knew but Calidore, and the little genius decided to skip out on a shuttle and take over the alien asteroid for himself.

He screwed up bad, so bad you wouldn’t believe me if I told you what happened. The point is, I have to fix the problem, me, Jason Bain the bodyguard, or the Earth can kiss its tush goodbye.

The AI narration kept changing volume at some points within the paragraph as if some parts were re-recorded. What was the biggest issue was the dropping of a few words at the end of many of the chapters which made it hard to understand what was going on until the next few sentences of the next chapter.

I do think that the author tried to listen to all of the book before calling this done and then published it for the masses. However it would have been good for the Author to pick some of his fans and let them listen and then give him advice on how to fix this. I would certainly volunteer. AI is not bad but you really need to go over the output with a fine tooth comb.
