Great storyline- Poor Narration

Dead America- Kansas surprised me with how appealing the storyline was. For those who like zombie-post apocalyptic threads this is a good one. HOWEVER, the AI reading of the story really does a number on dismantling the story. The AI voice misses a lot of reading/speaking ques, while at the same time, mispronouncing words. May I suggest Brian Hutchinson to re-read them.

Nice origin story to build the ethos

A little curve ball in the story line. I like the ÁI voice. The books still over uses assault rifle when referring to almost every long rifle.

regarding Virtual Voice

Trying to listen to this story, just one more time . . .it is interesting
BUT
While being clear and correct, the virtual voice just can't add the feeling and inflection needed that a good narrator can.
Maybe later, but not at this time, on this story.

Dead America

Seemed a bit negative against men which caused a distraction in the story. Women could do no wrong blah bla bla

AI ruins the seemingly GREAT story!

The story itself is not just “another zombie apocalypse book“ but the Virtual Voice doesn’t do any feelings, emotions, voice/inflections or changes of gender between people, no excitement in its voice because it’s a MACHINE! It ruined everything!!
Normally, I don’t look at who is reading the books, with Audible I have (500+) but I will NEVER EVER WASTE MY $$$ on ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Narrators. Doesn’t matter who wrote it. Not doing this again. Audible needs to return my credit. I will do that for sure. What a WASTE - the storyline seemed pretty decent, but i can’t stand the lack of any different. changes in tone to the language/speech. Goodbye “VIRTUAL VOICE”!!👩🏻‍🎤

Incredible

I was drawn into the story within minutes, The journey the characters are taken through is encompassing and action packed. I wish there were more than 5 books to the Kansas storyline for sure. The author made this a great listen.

AI Narration, poorly written story.

Interesting enough premise, the protagonist's vocalized inner monologues took me out of it completely.

Awful narration.

The narration made this impossible to listen to. I think I’ll check this out in print. The story was good. Narration is unbearable.
