The Island Project: A Thriller

By: Taylor Buck

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The Big Island of Hawaii is a place of exotic beauty, serene landscapes and timeless culture. It is also a place filled with secrets—both ancient and modern. Photographer, Tom Bennett, while scouting the island of Hawaii for an upcoming big-budget film, stumbles across a bizarre, panther-like creature in the forest. As Bennett and his adventurous wildlife biologist friend, Kelly Adler, dig deeper into the origins of the creature, they find themselves uncovering a clandestine military experiment fronted by a brilliant inventor and a psychopathic engineer spiraling out of control. The photographer and his lovely colleague are thrust into the middle of a daring investigation which finds them swimming through the Pacific, evading deadly automatons in an elaborate government facility and navigating through the dense, tropical jungle of Hawaii in order to escape the secret they uncovered.

Original story

I liked it. I would have even liked it if it cost me a credit
The story was original, action packed, interesting and fun.
The characters were likable and the setting, the Big Island of Hawaii, was super. My favorite island.
The AI voice didn't do it any favors but that didn't effect the story line

I couldn't keep the characters straight

the narrative was not the best and distracted from my enjoyment of the book .
