AI Narrator Detracts from Overall Experience

I very much disliked the virtual narration produced by AI. Technically the voice was fine and indistinguishable from a real person. But the inflection was flat and off. it was painfully obvious that the story was being narrated by a machine with no understanding of what was being read. The delivery was awkward and detracted from the story, which could have been so much better. I love the premise of the story and very much enjoyed the previous installments. Maybe the AI narration was an experiment to see how well it would be received. What a disappointment, to say the least. I would urge the authors and publishing company to go back to a human narrator. i'm willing to pay for that.

The team of Craig Alanson and RC Bray is a well oiled machine now. Well written, interesting story with compelling characters, all preformed with RC Bray's usual engaging humor and panache. I enjoyed every minute of this audiobook performance and will immediately purchase the 2nd book in the series (as soon as it is available.)

Story was okay. Well written prose like Koontz does, and interesting premise. The plot was maybe a little too formulaic and trite. Entertaining all the same. Not one of Koontz' best, and I think he could have fleshed out the plot based on the intriguing premise. This could have been a more complex and less "preachy" story. Nonetheless, the narrators performance was top notch, very polished and professional.

Confusing and Disorienting in the Beginning, for Good Reason - Keep Listening!

After the first few chapters, the story line got disorienting and didn't make sense. Eventually it seemed to coalesce into something understandable and predictable. Then it got weird again. This experience was unlike the first two installments in the series. It was frustrating. But I'm glad I kept listening. This is a complex and fascinating story. I won't summarize the plot for you - no spoilers.

The performance by the narrator was again excellent and flawless. I am an audiobook narrator too, so I pay attention to the little things, nit-picky details. I can only learn from such an exemplary performance as her's.

Written and narrated by Peter Zeihan, The End of the World Is Just the Beginning is fascinating, engrossing, alarming, but also hopeful. And it's presented with just the right amount of humor to keep people engaged. This is heavy stuff, but I could not stop listening and I finished it in 24 hours. This is one book that you have to read/listen to. I'm going to share this one with as many people as I can. Oh yeah, while the author is probably quite busy with his full time career, he also just happens to be a really awesome narrator. No one could have given a better performance. Very pleasant voice and easy to listen to.

Craig Allenson continues to build on this exciting and compelling story arc and and keeps raising the bar. And RC Bray is unmatched in his performance. He is a master at his craft.

I was hoping that the author would write a sequel to A Ripple in Time, and this was a welcome addition, if a bit too brief. It still leaves me wanting more. Fortunately, there seems to be a 3rd installment.

The story is derived from a good premise, and it's got good bones, but needs a little more meat on the bones. Sean William Doyle does a grest job of narration and gives life to his characters with good distinction and differentiating accents among characters. I think the story holds up well, but it leaves me wanting more. My one complaint is that I wanted a longer story with more development. This wrapped up nicely, just too soon for my tastes. All in all, if you like time travel or alternate history stories, you will enjoy this one. It seems unlikely, but maybe Victor Zugg will write a sequal...

This is my 1st time listening to a Nora Roberts book. Started out slow, but extremely well written. I'm totally hooked now, and I'm going to immediately listen to the 2nd book in the series. The narration was top notch, and the Irish accents were perfect. The voices of the characters were well done, distinct, and expertly performed.
