Psychic Warrior: Project Aura

Warfare on the Virtual Plane

By: Bob Mayer

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When ancient enemies awaken, only those who can fight on the virtual plane stand between humanity and chaos.

Sergeant Major Jimmy Dalton thought his most dangerous mission was behind him. After destroying a rogue Russian Psychic Warrior who threatened the world with nuclear annihilation, the veteran Special Forces soldier seeks solace scattering his wife's ashes in the Colorado mountains. But when Marie's spirit touches his mind with a warning—treachery—Dalton realizes the war is far from over.

The Bright Gate Project created warriors who can leave their bodies behind and fight on the virtual plane, where thoughts become weapons and consciousness itself is a battlefield. Now that power has attracted the attention of forces that have manipulated humanity for centuries.

In 1220 A.D., Genghis Khan encountered mysterious beings in the Himalayas—the Mithrans, "spirits who ride the wind." They warned him of an even more dangerous enemy: the Priory, shadow rulers who have pulled the strings of empires from behind the scenes for a millennium. The Khan's descendants swore to destroy them both.

Now, in the present day, these ancient adversaries are moving again. The Priory seeks to harness the power of Psychic Warriors for their own agenda, while the Mithrans watch and wait from their mountain stronghold. Caught in the middle is Dalton and what remains of his team—warriors who can project their consciousness across the globe, but who are discovering that some enemies can't be fought with conventional weapons.

From the snow-capped peaks of the Continental Divide to the hidden corridors of power, from thirteenth-century Mongolia to modern-day covert operations, warfare is about to evolve. Because when your battlefield is the human mind itself, the only limit is imagination—and the only certainty is that defeat means more than death.

The second explosive installment in the Psychic Warrior series by New York Times bestselling author Bob Mayer—where military thriller meets metaphysical suspense.

virtual voice

I didn't notice this was virtual voice and I can't get a refund. I wish there were a toggle on my account so that books with virtual voice are excluded.

terrible AI narration

while words are pronounced correctly, the robotic reading is really distracting. AI needs to learn a lot more in order to be interested to listen to.

TERRIBLE Narrator Ruins the Book

Another reviewer said it was an AI voice which would make sense. It makes it really hard to listen to. Even my teenage son, who was playing on his phone during a long car ride, tapped me and asked if we could change it, as it was the more boring narrator he'd ever heard. Everyone in the car agreed they couldn't take it anymore, so we switched to something else. It would be well worth skipping this title until it's recorded by an actual person.
