The Case of Marvin Dunes - Brian...

Jason R. Cash

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
When Brian discovers the envelope Matt left behind, it seems like nothing more than a precaution — a set of instructions to follow if three days pass without a word. But the moment Brian tears it open, his world tilts on its axis. 
Inside are directions that will thrust him into a reality far beyond anything he could have imagined — a path that forces him to confront secrets, dangers, and choices that will alter the course of his life forever. 
Brian never expected to inherit a mission. He never expected to step into a future that feels more like a storm than a road. And he certainly never expected that opening a single envelope would ignite a journey that will test the limits of his courage, his loyalty, and his very understanding of fate itself.
