Adventures of the Gunship Marathon (Box Set: Missions 1-5)

De: Daniel Young

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

"It started out with a bang and just got better." -Goodreads reviewer

Over 1,000 pages of nonstop action! If there's one thing Adam Eckhart knows, it's that humans are trouble. After all, he is one.

As captain of the Marathon, a cobbled-together ship crewed by aliens and androids scraping by on odd jobs at the outskirts of settled space, Adam has plenty to worry about without adding his own species to the mix.

But when a pair of mortally wounded humans cross his path during a heist gone wrong, he finds himself compelled to save them.

Big mistake.

Because if there's one more thing Adam knows, it's that the universe never leaves a good deed unpunished.

He and his crew are about to find out just how right he is.

Includes the first 5 books in the Marathon series:

• Bad Cargo
• Hidden World
• Trapped
• Lost Star
• War Dead

Five star reviews for Bad Cargo, book 1 in the series:

"I absolutely couldn’t put the book down. Full of action, suspense, intrigue, drama and deceit throughout the the story!"

"Quick and to the action straight away. Reminds me of the stories in the old pulp sci-fi magazines."

"When I’m ready to read for pure escape and entertainment, I’m happy to know that Mr. Young will have another book or series ready for me!"

No fall up on what bookshould continue

There’s no end to the book leave you hanging no references of what’s going to happen next

AI is not ready to narrate

story was probably better than it seemed. AI is getting really good, it now sounds human, just a really bad human.

Read was flat

Not a fan of the AI voice it’s flat and really makes it had to get invested in the story.

Just good ole fashion sci fy.

So the characters are great. But they are missing a lot of back story which creates holes in the story. But it's 94% great. AI narration is spot on too.

the flat voice of the A,I, narrator.

over all good book, I enjoyed the book collection! but the voice of the A,I, narration was a little lacking in excitement or even emotional transition... but with that said, over all it was good. worth the time.

Good story

I don't care much for AI reading. There are to many mistakes that take you out of the flow.

I enjoyed the store line!

The virtual voice is very distracting. When it pronounces the same name three different ways in the same thought something is not set correctly.

Good story

I like the story, but I did not like the virtual voice. The virtual voice lacked finer human cadence.

The story is good but

I ended giving up on listening to this book, and opted to just read the series. The story and characters are fun, but there were enough acting errors in the narration to drive me nuts.

The virtual narration deserves a zero

I loved the story.

I have listened to other books with virtual narration, some of them with good narration, and this one is terrible.:

-many mispronunciations
-pauses or even gull stops where they do not belong
-flat tone most of the time
-when some apparent emotion is introduced, it is the wrong narration

and so on.

This title deserves a human narrator
