Publisher's summary
From Million-Selling Author Robert J. Crane...
One girl, infinite magical worlds. Where will she find herself next? “When I ran away, aged seventeen, I didn’t do it for the usual reasons...I did it because I was looking for adventure.” My name is Mira Brand, and I'm a Seeker – a treasure hunter who can cross between worlds seeking long-forgotten treasure hoards of ancient races. My home is London, but I work in the worlds beneath our own, traipsing through places where no one has walked in a thousand years. Except for that time I happened to cross paths with another Seeker. Wealthier than me, less pleasant in disposition...okay, downright angry, especially when I made off with the loot. I didn't expect he'd chase me, but he did, and he's not the only one. Pursued by my foes, outnumbered by enemies, running short on friends, it's all part of the life of a runaway and a treasure hunter. If you like J.K. Rowling, Jeff Wheeler, Bella Forrest, Brandon Sanderson, Charlie N. Holmberg, or Cassandra Clare, you will LOVE the first installment of the Mira Brand Adventures.More from the same

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Story
Cassie Howell, high school student and recovering compulsive liar is enjoying a peaceful Florida summer, free of any vampire troubles. Which is good, because anytime Cassie seems to encounter vampires, it's really hard to get out of the situation without backsliding on that whole lying thing. Until, suddenly, she's not enjoying the peace anymore. Because when vampires attack her in broad daylight, Cassie starts to realize that the "interesting" phase of her life might not have ended with quitting lying. And there may be an even bigger liar trying to kill her...and her friends.

Virtual Voice was better than excpected.
The story was well-written, but wasn't really the reason I listened to this audiobook. I wanted to hear the virtual voice and see how well it compared to a human narrator. In short, it was very good. I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks, many with some truly great narrators, and in no way could this have replaced the best ones out there. However, it could easily replace a narrator who was just average. Most of the time I was listening, I forgot a computer was involved at all.
That said, there were a few glaring issues. There were a few, and just a few, big mispronunciations of fairly common words. But the bigger issue was that the computer got the accent wrong for a major character. The character was described as having an American accent, but the computer used a british accent instead. Even though the accent was wrong, it was still well done, and wasn't too distracting. I got the impression that with a few keystrokes from a competent editor, the problem would have completely gone away.
I wouldn't hesitate to listen to a virtual narrator in the future if it was for pulp sci-fi (I read a lot of it) or some other title I considered a quick, fun, low stakes read. However, if I cared about what I was reading, I'm going to want a talented human. There was a reason this one only got four and not five stars.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
