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.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

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.

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.

Virtual voice
My first thought about the virtual voice was that it was remarkably good. But after a bit, I started noticing the word dash coming up really often and it was confusing me. Eventually I realized the AI was reading the marking to indicate aching off in the middle of a thought literally instead of just using it as punctuation. I found this very irritating and distracting. As I continued to listen, I realized the AI did not make dramatic pauses when appropriate, did not slow or speed up according to the story. in general, it acted like a computer instead of a human being. I’d rather listen to a human.

2nd Grade Story Time
I'm sure the story would be good if it weren't for the virtually emotionless, monotonic AI voice. The voice inflections are flat, bland and too unemotional when there's serious action going on. It just sounds like my second grade teacher just reading aloud. I'd rather pay $13 for a proper human narration.

interesting start
Well as this was the first book that I have listened by an AI voice. It was quite good and a interesting start to what I am sure will be a enjoyable series.

Kid Power! (Virtual Voice became irritating, though.)
Definitely aimed at pre-teens, the story is okay, but it should not use virtual voice. Virtual voice keeps saying "dash" when the - is used at the end of a sentence, and it doesn't handle abbreviations well, either. Some of the science might be tough for younger kids, and the virtual voice makes it even harder without a print-out so the kids can look up what they don't understand. Getting the ebook and Audible together might be better.
Todd McCaffrey often uses kids as the main characters, and this book follows that pattern. I know that kids can often do more than we give them credit for, but I think this went a bit overboard. Yes, there are a few adults and robots to help them, but not enough to accomplish the activities. Otherwise, the story is good. The characters are likable and the story makes one feel that kids can do anything!

Painfully bad AI reading
The emotionless voice makes this a painful read. The story is hardly what you would expect from the author. It’s trite, predictable, and boring. Clones. In space. That know more than they should. Over explaining everything.
Definitely not worth using a credit on it.

Awful reading of a bad story
The readers cadence was simply awful. I couldn’t listen to it for any amount of time.
