Doomsday in the Capital

By: Rob Shumaker

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The Russian President is threatening nuclear war, and America is forced to take drastic action. Can Duke Schiffer stop the Russian madman’s doomsday plot before it’s too late?

Hoping to go down in a historic blaze of glory, the dying Russian President Yuri Volkov is threatening to unleash nuclear war on the United States and, this time, he means it. Now all he needs is his trusted friend, Russian Defense Minister Dmitri Balakin, to execute his launch orders and watch America go down in flames. With his eyes on the presidency, Balakin knows he is on the verge of becoming a very rich and powerful man. All he has to do is get his actress daughter, Katia, out of the United States and back to Russia before the bombs start falling.

With the newly launched Belgorod, Russia’s “Doomsday” submarine, on the prowl and Americans are on edge, President Schumacher enlists the help of America’s own secret weapons, covert operative Duke Schiffer and his wife Alexandra, to devise a plan to keep war from starting.

When their plans go awry, Schumacher is forced to make a decision no President wants to make—one that will put his own family in danger. With the clock ticking toward nuclear war, whether America is forced to enter World War III depends on if Duke and Alexandra can stop the Russians before time runs out.

Filled with international intrigue and nonstop action, Doomsday in the Capital is a roller-coaster thrill ride to the last page.

The lack of excitement

I dix not care for AI audio as it was boring with no emotion or inflection

The suspense is great

Good story and a good listen enjoy a classic thriller with twists and turns worth the time

Disappointing

I realize this book was read by AI but I really don't think that is the reason for my poor rating. For me a poor reader totally distracts me from the story. I have read a lot of audible books and most had good to excellent readers which I totally appreciate it. If in the future AI reading is used there needs to be a better inflection used. I hope AI will not be used for all books in the future.

Monotone reading

I did not care for the person who read the book audibly. He read in little phrases instead of a smooth read. There was no emotion in his voice and frankly he could do a lot better to be a paid professional reading that.

horrible read

the AI reader makes what should have been a good book a snooze. Don't try to listen to this in the car u will fall asleep and die
