Project Diamond

By: J.W. Bouchard

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A hundred and fifty years in the future, the United States and China launch a joint mission to send an interstellar voyage to a carbon-rich planet composed almost entirely of diamond. The crew’s mission: to mine the planet of its riches and transport them back to Earth. But what they don’t realize is that they aren’t the first to set foot on this strange new planet…and the original visitors might not be willing to share.

You get what you pay for!

I downloaded this title because 1. it was free, and 2. I wanted to see what virtual voice was like. The story is poor, meanders around without really having any depth, and the both the sci and the fi are definitely absent, so a 1 start on that front.
The virtual voice is cool to listen to, except that the way sentences are read is flat, and the inflections are placed in wierd spots. The AI voice also pronounces abbreviations as words, as in I.D. is read as id.
