In this paper, we investigated the propagation of surface waves in a rotating fibre-reinforced viscoelastic anisotropic media of a higherorder and fraction orders of nth order including time rate of strain with voids. The general surface wave speed is derived to study theeffect of rotation and voids on surface waves. Particular cases for Stoneley, Love and Rayleigh waves are also discussed. The resultsobtained in this investigation are more general in the sense that some earlier published results are obtained from our result as special cases. In order zero our results are well agreeing with classical results. Also by neglecting the reinforced elastic parameters and voids the resultsreduce to well known isotropic medium. Comparison was made with the results obtained in the presence and absence of rotation andparameters for fibre-reinforced of the material medium. It is observed that Love wave remains unaffected with respect to rotation andvoids. It is also observed that, surface waves cannot propagate in a fast rotating medium. Numerical results are given and illustratedgraphically.
