Different angle than US or Uk.

Really disliked the virtual voice! Very bland, one tone voice, with no emotional intent. Difficult to listen to. I didn't finish the book.

Computer Narration

The narration was computer generated (rather than a live reader) and it was terrible. The voicing was devoid of emotion, many words/phrases were mispronounced or garbled, and it was hugely distracting. As a result, it was hard to get engrossed in the story.

Intriguing story, terrible narration.

A great spy story told from a unusual point of view. The AI narration however was like finger nails on a chalkboard, that despite the terrific story arc almost had me turn it off at several points.
