Indian Country

De: Kurt Schlichter

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

It’s all-out war for ruthless red state special operator Kelly Turnbull when he returns in this blockbuster prequel to “People’s Republic,” Kurt Schlichter’s top selling novel of America after the polarized politics of blue versus red have split our country apart. “Indian Country” finds Turnbull sent back into the blue states to help those trapped inside resist a politically correct police state. As the progressive government ratchets up the violence, Turnbull must mold regular Americans into a fighting force capable of resisting the People’s Republic Army, led by his former US Army Special Forces mentor. Longer, bigger and bolder than the original, “Indian Country” is filled with Kurt Schlichter’s trademark snarky humor and even more non-stop action, drawing on his work as a television commentator and Senior Columnist for Townhall.com, and his experience as a retired Army infantry colonel. National Review’s Jim Geraghty calls Kurt Schlichter’s “People’s Republic” “a surreal, fast-paced journey through a dramatically different America … Violent, imaginative, full of mordant humor and dark, gritty details, you won’t want to live in this People’s Republic…but you’ll feel a chill as you wonder how different our real future will be.” Author and television host Cam Edwards says “Kurt Schlichter's ‘People's Republic’ is a roller coaster ride through a post-election Hellscape that will leave you wanting more.” Radio host Hugh Hewitt say “Schlichter puts a whole flight of Black Swans in the air --each of them plausible-- and the result is a riveting, page-turner, and a demand from Schlichter for...more.”

Captivating

The story, although read in a voice devoid of expression, it kept the listener engaged due to the interesting story line. Fortunately, this story is fiction, but the realization is ever present how near we live to it becoming reality! May God help us!!

Good insurgency story line.

AI not up to human standards. Town names and military jargon are still beyond its capabilities.

Great Story! OK narrator

I love the story, but the computer voice narrator is not quite up to snuff. I miss Tony Katz, he made Turnbull feel like a sarcastic tough guy.
Don't get me wrong, you're doing great and if the computer voice is the only way we'll get more of the books I'll just deal with it. But it's unintentionally funny when the computer says '50 cal' rounds are 50 calories rather than 50 caliber

Story and premise

Great book, but AI generated voice lacked realism, and mispronounced military time, acronyms and place names

a good times story

Virtual voice is horrific at English narration. Sucks the life out of the story.

The AI voice was pretty good

Kelly Turnbull is a formidable yet humorous character. Hopefully the United States of America will never split apart again.

Overlooked Problem in People’s Republic

The People’s Republic suffers a drastic declining population crisis. nearzero birth rate. Young women cannot get pregnant because ef their disgustingly repulsive tattoos, Hollywood Marxist nose rings and face, genital, and body piercings on young women. Abortion is legal and freely available to all 27 recognized genders, but most never seem to need it. A few births are due to artificial conception through the peoples sperm bank, where loyal party members can be seen laying exhausted on the front lawn waiting to make a fourth donation.

A possible future?

The story is great , but that virtual voice narration is absolutely horrible! It has got to go and get a real narrator to read this title.

Good Story, Lousy Reading

I love Kurt Schlichter’s Kelly Turnbull stories, but this Virtual Voice reading is a constant irritant. You probably need to be from this part of Southern Indiana, as I am, to know that the town of Loogootee is pronounced “Lo-GOAT-ee”, not “LOO-goo-tee” — but since I am and I do, that drove me nuts. Besides, to know that a 7-11 Minimart is a “Seven-Eleven”, not a “Seven-to-Eleven”; or a 787 jet aircraft is a “seven-eighty-seven”, not a “seven-hundred-eighty-seven”; or that a highway designated Rte. 125 is “one-twenty-five”, not “one-hundred-twenty-five”; or that the military time “2245 hours” is “twenty-two-forty-five”, not “two-thousand-two-hundred-forty-five” — to know all that you just need to be a human being who speaks English. Add to that this Virtual Voice’s total lack of conversational tone and dramatic rhythm building to a climax, and the experience becomes an experiment in monotony. Mr. Schlichter’s publishers should spring for a flesh-and-blood narrator, like the one(s) who have done his other books (names escape me), rather than this flat, droning robot. (I’m available!)

Horrible AI narration I miss the “real” Kelly Turnbull

I feel like I should let ChatGPT write this

Indian Country by Kurt Schlichter still delivers a gripping, timely storyline that feels even more relevant today as when it was first written. The fast-paced action and sharp political commentary keep you engaged throughout. Unfortunately, the AI-narrated voice falls completely flat—lacking emotion, inflection, and the grit this story demands. It seriously detracts from the overall experience. Please consider re-recording with Tony Katz to do justice to the material.
