Smoke Tree Burning

A Smoke Tree Series Novel

By: Gary J George

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Two arsonists are at work in Smoke Tree. One is a slick professional; the other is an evil pyromaniac using fire to settle old scores. One would be bad enough, but two? Captain Carlos Caballo, commander of the Smoke Tree substation of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, is fighting to save the town he loves.

If that weren't enough for Captain Caballo and his deputies to contend with, illegal drugs are arriving in Smoke Tree. The source seems to a motorcycle gang operating from the river bottom on the Arizona side of the Colorado River.

Pretty good but usual ai mispronunciation

Liked old Hwy 66 ties. Spiritual theme hard to follow. Needs more explanation of connections.

Characters and Virtual voice.

Virtual voice was good, except for when saying gun calibers. When people refer to a .357 they don't say a 3-5-7. They say 357 (three fifty seven) And, a .22 is not point 2-2, it's just a 22. I notice a couple words pronounced the way they're spelled, instead of the way people say them. Other than that, I enjoyed the reading of book very much.

Good story

Engaging story. Loved the Mojave desert details. Virtual voice needs to learn how to pronounce cholla!

Love this author

Interesting, strong, well developed, unique characters. Unusual, captivating storylines. The Mojave Desert setting is wonderful. The details about desert living are fascinating. Once I start one of his books, I can’t stop! He should be a famous author, if he isn’t already.
