Discovery

De: Jack and Sue Drafahl

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Jake McDonald’s life has hit rock bottom. He’s lost his job, and his wife and two children have lost their faith in him. It seems that everything that could go wrong has happened, and he now has nowhere to turn. In a final effort to salvage his financial problems, Jake turned from banking to lobster fishing off Santa Barbara Island. While scuba diving, he discovers an underwater cave that extends deep beneath the island’s shoreline. As he swims into the cave looking for fish and lobster, he finds an alien artifact. This discovery drastically transforms his life and changes the history of planet Earth in a way no one could have ever imagined.

Discovery is the first book in the Ship series that draws suppositions from the future science of NASA, and asks the question “Are we really alone?” Jake McDonald uses the discovered artifact to help answer that question, while attempting to unify and protect his family. His ability to think outside the box enables him to explore the worlds beyond the bounds of Earth’s atmosphere.

Great listen

I loved this book. The narration wasn't bad considering it's AI. It held my interest the whole way though

Good story

I did like the story and the narrowation wasn't too bad. The fact that it was an artificial voice. Unfortunately, the artificial voice is unable to express the emotion. That comes from a real person narrating the book but overall pretty decent.

Fun

This was a fun book believable enough. You get used to the virtual voice after a while. When the virtual voice was saying she was rushed into the OR he just said or. 🤔 Can't wait to read the next book that goes with the series.

Ok plot.

AI voice is too flat. Cannot compete with human readers. Not ready for prime time.

Intriguing story. Made me want more.

Intriguing story. Made me want more.

The virtual voice mispronounced words and some inflections were not correct for the context.

Narraion had no inflection, took away from the story.

Great story, AI reader nearly killed it on several occasions. A bettr reader would make this book!

The some what monotone delivery of the story by the AI voice.

The plot of the story was enjoyable. This is the first AI narrated book I have listened too. I missed the inflection given by the human reader.

Terrible naration by AI, shallow characters

The narration by AI is the worst part, and the conversations are the second worst. As if robots were talking, not humans.
The idea was good, but the stupidity of bad guys and naivete of the good ones is unacceptable, even for the 5-year-olds.

Only made it half way

I just could not stand the MC anymore. He starts out as a complete looser and doesn't get any better. All of the characters are shallow and unlikable.
