Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.
On a dusty little backwater planet where nothing ever happens, retired mechanic Ezra Kowalski’s biggest worry is keeping his prized cucumbers safe from pests—and from his meddling neighbor, Mrs. Wong.

That is, until a spaceship crash-lands square in the middle of his veggie patch.

Out tumbles a soft-spoken teenage girl from a nearby world and her infuriatingly cheerful robot. With a massive solar flare knocking out all communication and grounding space travel for the foreseeable future, they’re stuck there together.

Ezra wants nothing more than to fix his vines and go back to being left alone. But between the girl’s strange stories, the robot’s attempts to “help,” and Mrs. Wong sniffing around for gossip, he begins to suspect that this quiet little planet might still have a few surprises left for him.

A heartwarming cozy sci-fi about unlikely friendships, stubborn neighbors, and what grows when you least expect it. Friendship Genre Fiction Science Fiction Space Opera Heartfelt Solar System Technology

Good low impact story. Unfortunately, the audiobook is read very monotonously. Many dialogues are done with weird emphasis, as if the reader got to the end of a sentence only to realize it was a question.

AI narration is horrible. Might have been a good book, but lack of inflection killed any mood.

AI isn’t worth it.
