Unborn

By: Eva Barber

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A childless couple discovers an unusual baby in the Siberian Forest and flees to the US to protect her from the Russian government. The girl, Olesya, grows up to become a brilliant scientist, unraveling the secrets of the enigmatic dark matter. However, soon after, she and the project leader vanish, and the physics lab is destroyed by a powerful foe with seemingly noble intentions.

From her captors, Olesya learns the reason her parents left their country and discovers that she possesses powers connected to dark matter. She also learns of her brother, held captive by the Russian government. Initially skeptical of her captors’ intentions, Olesya joins them to rescue her brother. However, catastrophic world events force her to continue working with her adversaries to prevent further destruction.

Olesya discovers mysterious chambers scattered around the world and experiences visions until she finally opens them and uncovers their secrets. She realizes that she must venture into a dark dimension to save the world from self-destruction. Tragically, her daughter, Emery, emerges as the key to humanity’s salvation and must follow in her mother's footsteps once she reaches adulthood. Will she be able to follow in her mother’s footsteps before the world collapses on itself?

This virtual voice was continually distracting.

The voice had an odd tone to it along with the usual slightly odd rhythm. I couldn't relax into the story. The story seemed to be a slow motion SciFi horror story but I only got about an hour and a half into it before deciding that I was finding listening unpleasant and not worth my time. I didn't want to be around these characters for another 11 hours especially with this particular virtual voice.
