Publisher's summary
Someone murdered Morgan Djai’s brilliant but estranged brother. When they killed him, he had a $10,000 chunk of platinum in the pocket of his jeans.
Morgan has problems of his own. His company’s been bought out, he’s been laid off, and his wife’s having an affair. Better yet, she’s planning to take everything he has in a divorce.
As Morgan tries to assume his duties as guardian for his brother’s teenage children he’s confronted with the mystery of why his brother died carrying a piece of platinum.
Morgan’s fifteen year old niece is striking in appearance but hostile in attitude. His nephew’s pleasant but defers all questions about the platinum to his sister.
It slowly becomes evident that Morgan’s brother made the platinum. People who wanted his secret killed him. His niece knows how Morgan’s brother created the platinum but doesn’t want to tell Morgan.
The people who killed his brother still want the platinum…
And it seems as if Morgan’s adopted son Adam is his only ally.
Damn…

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.

Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

He sets to work, figuring out how to use his new gift to help his family and perhaps even improve his college prospects. This is far from as easy as he’d first hoped. Through all this he must deal with his sarcastic friend Jesse. A friend who’s sometimes helpful, but at least as often a big part of the problem. Oh, and Witt’s got girl trouble!

Most of my writing is in a series people seem to enjoy but there is a constant small crowd who say: I'd really like your take on an alien invasion story. Well this is for them. The bulk of the aliens come to Earth stories assume their vast superiority, sometimes invincibility. Sometimes they suddenly appear on the white house lawn dictating terms. I have yet to see one with them appearing at the Kremlin or Canberra which seems rather parochial.

Highly Recommend
Why? ANY new title by Dr. Lawrence E. Dahners is like returning to my happy home with flowers outside buzzing with bees and the smell of cut grass on a warm spring day. Perhaps the way he builds his characters throughout the story, maybe how they become heroes or heroins, his "good" characters are thoroughly beautiful men and women and they overcome the "bad" characters with an enjoyably indulgent VENGENCE. But all his stories are like bliss to my ears weather Virtual Voice or a talented Voice Artist. His stories mend my soul leaving my life a little better each book. I'm left feeling that Dahners' moral compass guides his imaginings just like his fingers have mended many sadly broken bones, now his fingers mend my very soul with the optimistic hope and enthusiasm for goodness only the "Doctor of Science Fiction" can deliver.
I'm completely full of myself ! Hoo-Yeah !

Disappointed by Virtual Voice
I have looked forward to more books by Laurence Dahners coming to audio, but Virtual Voice dims the experience. The electronic voice is not unpleasant, but it provides no variation between characters and misses the emphasis in many sentences. I have heard worse from some human narration, but I was hoping for more than "not the worst".

Narration is understandable. Good story.
This is a good story. The Virtual Voice is much better than text to speech but a live voice actor is better. The p;f "Text to speech" mispronounces a lot of words ie. read pronounced "Reed" rather than "Red" or even IV (medical) pronounce "fourth" instead of "eye" "vee". Virtual voice almost eliminates this problem.
a good actor varies the tone and even the regional accent making the audio book much easier to follow. I approve the Virtual voice as it is better than text to speech for all of us visually impaired.
AI voice is coming along pretty fast. Pitch, tone, speed, even mood are now adjustable. This could be good. Certainly could get audio books out faster for the writers
I would much prefer a voice actor

Please don't use the AI narrator again.
This was a fairly engaging story. Interesting ideas and plot. Hardly any Sci-Fi if that's what you were looking for. The AI narrator is absolutely dreadful.
Not really up to the standards I've expected from this author (who I usually love)

Nice science m/adventure plot ruined by bad narration
The narration was awful! No differentiation between characters, mispronunciations, awful acronyms. If this had been read by a human, I would expect them to be terminated for incompetence.

Great Story: Not a fan of AI narration
I've read this story before I listened to it. So I know it's a great story. The AI narration though leave a lot of the nuances of a story teller out. An actual person give emotion to the story if told right. The AI lacks that.
