Starship Thunder

De: Joseph McRae Palmer

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Earth has fallen. Humanity is chained. The fight for freedom starts now.

Kory Drake has nothing—no home, no family, no future. Just the ashes of a conquered Earth and the street sister he’s sworn to protect. But when a desperate act of defiance puts him face-to-face with Earth’s alien overlords, everything changes.

Offered a warship powerful enough to challenge the invaders, Kory must rise from gutter rat to starship captain. Thunder isn’t just a vessel—it’s a symbol, a weapon, and the spark of a rebellion that could set humanity free.

The enemy is ruthless. The odds are impossible. But Kory Drake has nothing left to lose. And that makes him dangerous.

If you love underdog heroes, blistering space battles, and the birth of legends, you won’t want to miss Starship Thunder.

The war has already begun. Will you fight—or be left behind?

Started out a bit slow, but ended up being pretty good.

I really enjoyed the story and hope it will be continued in subsequent books. Hopefully it won’t take too long.

Fairly typical virtual voice rendering

The virtual voice did a terrible job pronouncing “flechette”. Other than that the story is pretty good.

The story kept me hanging on, but the AI narrator made me want to quit.

The AI has okay enunciation, but it is emotionless and doesn't fit scene. I often couldn't distinguish if the writing lacked luster or it was the narration. I won't get the next book in the series.

I enjoyed the story. It reminds me of a video Game with upgrades.

The AI voice has no feelings or change in it voice. I did not care about that. The story had a good plot, and I liked the character in the story.

Realistic personality of people

mispronounced military acronyms "Weps" isn't weeps. A b c. Is there any more books in this series?

!great story telling!

Greta story telling! One of my favorite new books this year! I am looking forward to more by this author

A Sci-Fi Winner: Starship Thunder Exceeds Expectat

A winner with a unique plot that was well thought out. I loved the story and the turns and twist the story had. If you're a SiFi fan try this book out and see what you think. I thought virtual voice automation was good. What's your thoughts on the book and virtual voice narration?

Happily surprised! Excellent!

This was a surprisingly good read. I took a chance on it despite few reviews. After a few chapters, as I got the lay of the dystopian land, the characters grew on me, the story was engaging and I got pretty attached to their survival. Honestly, I did not expect to enjoy this book so much. Looking forward to the next installment of this adventure.
(Even putting up with Virtual Voice narration was worth it!)

pretty cool alien, and tech.

why does the protagonist have a "street sister"? if a homeless young man and woman bonded over survival, i think they would likely have a monogamous relationship.

Why the virtual voice?

The story and concept let me finish this book but it was a struggle! The whole virtual voice audio book is just terrible. the inflection is flat. You can't differentiate between characters. They obviously don't listen to them between the recording being made and publishing because commonplace term are repeatedly butchered. Glad it was free because I wouldn't have paid for this one.
