Publisher's summary
A demon hunter without a home. A cop without a cause. A seemingly unstoppable evil rising in a small town...
WARNING: Contains violence, coarse language and sexual situations.
Archibald "Arch" Stan was a local cop in Midian, Tennessee that was good at his job, good at being a husband, and exceptionally good at hiding his disappointment at not being able to figure out what was missing in his life that made it all seem so empty.Lafayette Hendricks looked like a drifter, a broken-down hitchhiker blown through Midian on the prevailing winds. When Arch catches him in a fight on the town square, though, things start to get weird, fast, because the guy he's fighting doesn't die when he gets shot. And Hendricks is carrying a sword. Pretty soon, Arch's whole life is turned upside down by Hendricks's revelation that there's a secret world operating under the one he's been living in his whole life - one filled with demons, chaos, and unspeakable evils, one of which is already in town, stirring trouble. And if the two men don't band together to keep watch on the darkness falling on Midian, then this small town might just get swallowed up by the forces of evil - with the rest of the world to follow shortly behind.If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Stephen King, Michael Anderle, Shayne Silvers, Shannon Mayer, or J.R. Rain, you will LOVE the first installment of the Southern Watch series.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Three months ago, Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

The apocalypse will begin in Midian, Tennessee, a small town where once upon a time, nothing happened. Now...everything is happening. The fate of the world will turn on whether Midian survives the next three days. It will all come down to Arch, the Watch, and, perhaps, Hendricks... ...If he can find his way back in time.

But when a new demon blows into town with the power to possess, the Watch finds itself facing something they've never dealt with before...one that will test them all to their very limits...and one which not all of them will survive...

Nope
No more virtual voice. Just hire an actual person to read the book. I can’t count the number of times I had to rewind and listen to parts again to figure out when a scene had changed, or to figure out what character was speaking, etc, etc.

great book love the story but AI reading needs work
I wish the AI would pause more between character switches as I'm sure the book skips a few lines or has a visual separation of thoughts. But, the book was great and I'm definitely going to listen to the whole series.

Okay story but the robot voice was terrible. It was flat and continuous and made it hard to follow the story.

An entertaining story with some unexpected humor
I enjoyed the story. The AI would have been better if it understood pausing between scene changes. Without a pause you are suddenly following a different character in a different place. I've had to back up to see when it changed.
As long as they are using an AI, why not have it do different voices for each character to help us tell them apart? That is part of what makes the human read stories better.

The AI narrator.
The AI is not something that I like. First time listening to one. Probably will be the last. Difficult to follow when the author moved to different characters perspective. The delivery of “oh” is also an issue.

Good book bad narrator
The book is one of my favourite starts to a series with show me world building and less dialogue to hear what things are. However the AI narrator is horrible, wrong inflections and weird word pronunciation. would love to hear an actual narrator read.
