The Unwanted

A Pulse-Pounding Thriller

De: David Lee Corley

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

"A warrior is unwanted until the barbarians are at the gates."

Years have slipped away since Frank Kane abandoned his violent past. Heavily scarred with a voice like broken glass, society has cast him aside. A useless relic of forgotten wars. He's okay with that. He never liked people much anyway. Content in renovating a dilapidated lighthouse, he finds peace in fixing a broken thing. Hard work. Honest work.

The men who kidnapped his niece should have left the sleeping beast lie. Their actions forced Frank to return to his old ways. Big mistake. Unknowingly, they awakened something terrible – a relentless architect of pain who will stop at nothing to find Grace and bring her home alive.

A sniper's patience. A killer's instinct. A complete disregard for law and authority. Frank operates by his own brutal code of justice, answering to no one. His indifference to judgment is his greatest weapon.

May God have mercy because Frank sure won't.

VIRTUAL VOICE?

NAAHHHH, not for me – not now, not ever. Nope, no virtual voice for me. Although easy to understand, there's zero inflection or emotion. Male or female, the same exact voice was used and it got confusing at points. I REALLY want another big bad dude like Reacher who has little regard for people's crap for my next series. Heck, Frank would TOWER over Reacher and is about 150 lbs heavier. But that dang virtual voice! It was all I could concentrate on. Out of over 1,000 titles in my library, this type of narration - this voice - is easily the most frustrating. It was a nice effort and "Virtual Voice" may someday work seamlessly, but it isn't there yet. Someone suck it up and hire Ray Porter or RC Bray who'd, either one, make this novel ROCK!

I love the genre, but..

I love this genre of books. I found this book and thought I would give it a try. I had never heard of this author before. I wanted to love it. The story was decent, but I feel like it was too rushed. I would like to know more about the life of the main character, I can’t stand the narration. It’s just not the same as a live body with emotion. It was hard to get through it because every voice sounds the same. I would like to listen to more of this author’s work to see if the stories get better but I don’t know that I will be able to due to narration.
Ray Porter is a wonderful narrator for this type of book.
