Publisher's summary

The Unified Civilized Council, which has ruled for over a hundred million years has discovered new species in the Long Dark. Strange and unknown species that seem to have no rhyme or reason about them. Compounding the problem is the reappearance of the ancient Precursor Autonomous War Machines. Even worse is the fact that the newly discovered Terran Confederacy of Aligned Systems appear to be the only force capable of stopping the murderous robotic starships, some the size of small continents.

The first book in the Behold Humanity! series, this covers the initial meetings as well as the initial battles between the living and the terrible machines.

The series currently stands at 2.95 MILLION words, 939 chapters of 2,000 words or more a chapter. The series is in wrapup and ending. While the current books are only in the Chapter 320-375 range, the later chapters, the rest of the series, has already been written and is just undergoing editing book by book.

A great new space war story

Love that story comes from aliens p.o.v. and golden age hero is my favorite. The A.I does mess up when it goes to a new paragraph. Messing up the first word sometimes. A great story can't wait for more.

Excellent book, but lackluster performance

Still an excellent start to an epic story, but the performance doesn't have any of the character voices of either of the original fan narrations or some of the professional performances the greatly enhance other works. It is only slightly better than local text to speech

Great story and just humans having a fun time messing around.

The AI narration is bad. It is flat and used the same voice for everything. Some cases ot switches tone abruptly and out of context. I miss the fan narrations.

Digital Voice couldn't pronounce words and names.

love this story and really want to suggest it to family but that text to speech voice ruins the emotional impact of so many good moments.

Me Like Long Time!

This is the Virtual Voice version of Part One of a series I greatly enjoyed reading.

The Virtual Voice sadly suffers from Artificial Stupid and so listening to this one may find many more annoying error spikes throughout, compared to if it was performed by an average human audio narrator.

I'd say the Virtual Voice AI programming still needs to be improved. A lot!

That said, with some forbearance and this knowledge in mind, this isn't awful. Even though it may actually make this specific work of fiction harder to parse at times.

I love this series

I love this series and have since I first saw it on HFY back before the coof, the audio reader is pretty good but it tends to screw up when it gets to the Gestalt conversations
