I've been reading sci-fi for decades. It's delightful to find a new voice and one that is so warm and positive. It takes me back to the hopeful stories of the 60's and 70's. Thank you, Robert Butler and SciFi stories for sharing in an affordable way.
This was a surprise. I really didn't think it would be as enjoyable as it truly was. The story just grabbed me and kept me interested.. no wild sci-fi language and crazy space opera nonsense. Just easy language and a natural progression of the story from a characters personal perspective. I'm looking forward for much more.
A very enjoyable episode. I learned a lot about the human condition and how some of our gears mesh. The author and the narrator should both keep doing what they are doing. Their words can be a catalyst to an even broader understanding of what makes us tick. Kudos.
This should be on Audible worldwide - I only found a version read by AI on Audible US, not available in the rest of the world. However if this is the official partner-channel for the author of this story that is the way I will listen to it to support the creator.
Thank You 10 fold for this work and bringing Robert to my (our) attention, been a while since i read (listened) to a work of this quality, yes i will repeat myself, but this work is really old Nebula or Hugo award class
I simply loved this story. Your writing is superb, glorious, gorgeous, resplendent, splendid, and sublime, all the while "extraordinarily and transcendently impressive." Thank you!!
A lot of Ai-read HFY stories are... Very hit and miss. Many are painfully uninspired and bland. The casts are cookie cutter and the plot is so generic it's laughable... None of the above applies to this story. This is six hours well-spent.
The insightful analysis of the perversion of the legal system by vindictive privilege, bought with victims' lives, should be required reading for anyone seeking public office or any position of authority. I hope to see at least the beginnings of the long overdue reforms to police and privilege in my lifetime. The portrayal of the resilience, determination, endurance, cohesion of the family unit gives hope that we may someday see past differences and focus on similarities, across the self-imposed divides of country/ethnicity/religion.
I just spent my Saturday binging this story from start to end. I got a little laundry done but the yard work is left untouched and I can't say that I regret it at all. Great job on this story
It's very American, written by someone who likely has never traveled. Most of the world is a lot more pragmatic, and behave more honest. And as someone who craves stories with clear signs of intelligence, this feels very simple. Only listened for around 2 hours.
you know most sci fi books earth is distant, thrown away kinda buy this one they actually go to earth. I really love sci fi stories that involve space. To have earth in them🌍😊
hey, I found out that teh author published tehse as real books by now. And I think your voice woulöd be so amazing to read teh audiobooks, far better t5hen the ai generated narrator that would currently be used. I think it woudl be awesoem to buy them with your voice.
One citic, the 24 hour clock is NOT military time. Its the common standard all around teh world. Only one country does it differently or is unaware, USA. Everyone else uses 24 hour time. Heck even the US military does, cause its just better.
@@alastairthegreat2887 that is impressive. the voice sounbds so human in a way. When listenign long enough you notice it, but it still is impressively real sounding. Even with accelerating at spots and slowing in others
@@CHMichael what you mean? The guy behind this channel is a friend of Robert H. Btler, the author of tehse? Would be awesome. He should ask him to narrate these as audiobooks for him. His voice is amazing and far better then the audible ai narrator.
I think i jsut noticed by also watching andn ot jsut lsitenign taht its an ai vocie here too. The spacing between words is unnaturally long and coherently so
The rant about thugs with badges is remarkably accurate. .You do not protect the public .Your training is pathetic . You do not know the law . You are not held accountable . Intelligent good people are never hired. It's all true and the truth hurts proud arrogant bullies who refuse accountability.
i did not expect to spend my entire afternoon and evening in front of my 65inch-4k-tv watching an audiobook for 7 hours straight.
impressive...
It pulls you in! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Book to will start in the next week or so.
@scifistories1977 book 2 is just as good as this one. I'm looking forward to hearing you do the audio version.
Heh, wait till you meet one of the most compelling characters in the series, 'Captain Bonnie Red'.
@@reasonabledoubt459 I like boatswain best.
@@davidcorreia3901 Heh, Byron and Boatswain are an excellent duo.

I've listened through half so far. It's an amazing story without the typical clichés of the genre. Definitely worth listening to!
Listening to this story I learned a lot about being a human that I never thought about
Such a good story! Well done Robert, I look forward to more of your writing especially Book two of this one!!!!

An Honor to have listened to all of them.

Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful work with us. It’s just brilliant and engaging ❤❤❤
"A thief doesn't break into a house to make a sandwich." Glad he doesn't meet Jason Asano 😂😂
I'm one on the people that vomit after an extreme adrenaline release
Damn... I wish more people will get this..
I need a sandwich.
Just make sure it's not supermarket bread😂😂😂
Yea, this story is awesome! As I'm writing this, I been at the 3h mark, and I can't stop listening
I simply loved this story. Your writing is superb, glorious, gorgeous, resplendent, splendid, and sublime, all the while "extraordinarily and transcendently impressive." Thank you!!
I was impressed with the amount of details in that story. The portrayal of a society through an alien's eyes was really well done. Nice work.

Most amazing well made story . Spent several days listening cant wait till the next installment

This honestly has opened up a whole new genre to me. Love this work.
Absolutely brilliant.
Love the breakdown of this terrifyingly beautiful species.
Thank you for a great saunter through the universe.
*Claps*
Wow, what an enjoyable ride. Can't wait to get more of this. Now i have to look for other stories of this author.
Excellent work, man. Just very original and thoughtful.
Best ever more more please 🙏 god bless love always
I rarely comment but it's one deserving to feed the almighty algorithm
This is a fantastic story well written relatable and fun more would be nice
What a hilarious story. Made me crack up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well done story, well written and very emersive
I just spent my Saturday binging this story from start to end. I got a little laundry done but the yard work is left untouched and I can't say that I regret it at all. Great job on this story
Lmao beer is the cause of human civilization. I love that take XD
This is a wonderful story. I can’t wait for book 2.
This is compelling. I can’t wait for Book 2!
This was an engaging and enjoyable story
Would recommend, and I'll be listening to book 2
These stories have become my new drug habit 😂
Will you be narrating book 2 soon?
Kindle
@dovahbear0 Some of us listen while driving. I drive for a living

@@HadesandPoseidonpouchie same name.

Thank you for the story
OMG...Where is book 2 ???🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Excellent story!!!!!
I NEEEEEEED more
Thank you so much. This is the kind of SciFi i realy like. Keep them coming please. Thank you auther for a hell of a book.
A great listen!
This was fantastic

You're too intelligent to listen to a story about an alien dogman in Kentucky.. wow, I'm impressed.
wonderful thanks
Thanks!
Thank you, Lisa! It's very much appreciated.

OMG i m only an hour in or so and OIMG this is so good. And so cute and hilarious. I love it.
More Please!!!! I love this story!!! Please part 2
Me too ❤❤❤
Great work Mr. Great work. 👏
Loving it!
For some reason I just imagined the alien as a tall version of ALF and i cant get it out of my head
Only have listened to just over an hour of this and l really want more😊
ride of the valkyries.. called it
So, who is the author of this delightful tale?
Apparently I live in earths capital city! Hopefully that will help the property values later lol
So are we getting book 2?
The channel said they are planning to start work on book it in the next few weeks
So next installment of terran contact (or as I like to call it "fucked round found out the space Odyssey")
My only complaint about the stories is the AI narrator has a hard time switching between tones of voice
34:50 literally bristling with guns lol
2:07:30 dear author they make childish back packs for front n back fyi
The heavy handed political push is really hurting this story...
Twain travels is that a refrence to 99.9%
Final Chapter? Please say it isn't so.
LOL is the company that bought the waterpark at the end a reference to 99.9 percent of the universe?
Loved the book. Pretty cool concept. Very self-mastabatory for the human race overall. 😂
💪😁👍

Even tho this is well written, these human self congratulating scifi storys are getting really tiresome.
Sounds like earth was taking nowhere by communism
It has more a blended market system. But it's funny you should say that, because Bailey's homeworld is run by a government modeled after the CCP.
Doing good until your ranting bash against police officers. Oh well.
The rant about thugs with badges is remarkably accurate.
.You do not protect the public
.Your training is pathetic
. You do not know the law
. You are not held accountable
. Intelligent good people are never hired.
It's all true and the truth hurts proud arrogant bullies who refuse accountability.
