Extinction

By: Michael J McLaughlin

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Woolly mammoth researchers in the Arctic are dying rapidly from a mysterious bone-disintegrating disease. Dr. Drew Chambers travels to the Siberian research station to find a cure, only to become stranded with communication and supplies cut off. The clock is ticking as he and the remaining researchers fight for their lives. But can they survive the disease, the Arctic, and the armed militia determined to eliminate evidence of an experiment gone awry?

Ok book. Worst narration ever!

Performance was horrible. The computer generated voice started out OK but became very awkward and downright annoying when the pace of the speech just didn’t fit. Words were mispronounced to the extent they were annoying and distracting. It was lacking any context of emotion so things that should have sounded sad, excited, emotional just became flat. It completely messed up any context of the story. By the last few hours I had completely lost interest. I don’t the story was bad. It seemed pretty interesting at the beginning but just became to hard to follow when every character seemed monotone and all ran together. I have listened to so many audiobooks I couldn’t even count and this was by far the WORST narration I have ever heard.
