Summary

Contains books one and two of The Forever Series.

Jon Ryan is irreverent, cocky, funny, and walks with a swagger. He says what he means, he says what he wants to, and, in fact, he says what needs to be said.

The cocky fighter pilot turned astronaut is also Earth's only chance for survival. The planet Jupiter, thrown off orbit, will destroy Earth in less than a century. Jon volunteers for the most ambitious, desperate mission ever conceived: His consciousness must be transferred into an experimental android host, where he'll live an immortal - and lonely - life. Jon's only companion on his 50-year voyage is his ship's irritable AI.

After successfully journeying for decades and locating a suitable human resettlement, Jon begins to discover the wonders life can hold, including the power of family and, for once, true peace. But no good deed, or good man, goes unpunished.

The US president wants him dead and is willing to sacrifice his own people to eliminate Jon. An alien species has vowed a holy war to eliminate all humans, either on Earth or wherever they might run. Only Jon can protect humans from their enemies.

With the best planet for colonization ruled by an ancient, malevolent species, there may be no hope for humans in a crowded galaxy. The limits of human technology may not be sufficient. The limits of Jon's endurance may not be enough. His endless enemies may prove to be unstoppable.

Jon may have forever, but does humanity have any future at all?

Bit different from other scifi novels

Loved it. Unpredictable story line. Can't wait to listen to the rest of the book in the series.

Amazing story, performance and wit

I love the story, I love the performer. Very well written main character whom I of course have fallen deeply in love with, he’s the right amount of socially blind (think Harry Potter) and amazing humour and wit. I’m currently on the second book and looking forward to the rest!

Great story and narration- drifts into silliness occasionally

Yes, I enjoyed it, yes I almost gave up at one point as I thought it was descending into a “poor man’s Gulliver’s Travels” but it recovered and kept me interested and amused.
Totally absurd characters with some grating stereotypes - which some may find an issue.

Listen to it, remember it’s a comedy, and enjoy it.

I will be back for part 2.
