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.

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.

Great listen

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

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.

Ok plot.

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

No humanity

The AI voice has no human inflections in its voice. I took me two titles to figure out what was so strange about the word pronunciation. Does not sound human. No matter what is going on in stories the words are sounded the same.
