The Torchlight Gambit

By: Thad Dupper

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

As the follow-up to Attack on Nantucket, The Torchlight Gambit takes the reader on a suspense-filled, international ride. North Korea is red hot having obtained the Dong-Feng 26D “carrier killer” missile technology that can take out an American Aircraft Carrier with a single shot. Armed with the new “Torchlight” laser weapon system, the US President, Andrew Russell, decides the time is now to confront North Korea. Meanwhile, Apple has just refurbished the iconic ocean liner the SS United States with its mission to travel the world to conduct training and tech seminars for the world’s youth. As part of an PR coup, Apple has decided to send the SS United States to the Korean Peninsula. The stage is now set for a global showdown. Everyone knew it would come and now that it has – the unexpected and unpredictable becomes the real threat.

Yet again a good story ruined by AI voice

Does no one proof these? IA voice does not cope with the way numbers and acronyms are used in military stories to the point it becomes annoying and painful to listen to! Not to mention the monotone lack or inflection or pacing that comes from a real voice. The only saving grace was it’s included with my subscription.

An exciting adventure

The best part is the story line. Overall, the story is well developed and even better narrated. Most important, the story keeps the listener tuned for more and more. Highly recommended.

Ruined by AI voice !

Yet another audio book RUINED by a A.I. voice narrator. Does anyone from Audible listen to these books after they've been recorded using an A.I. voice? Too many mistakes with pronunciation and the use of acronyms, not to mention the dull monotone voice!

The A.I. voice had me wanting to stop and give up on finishing this book, but I forced myself to listen to the end.
The only thing I liked about this book was that it was included with my subscription and "free"... then again maybe this was why it was "free" to begin with.

Audible please stop using A.I. voice software and just pay a good voice actor to read your titles!
