The Forever

The Forever Series, Book 1, 2

De: Craig Robertson

Narrado por: Scott Aiello

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?

The Forever 1st book

The narrator Scott Aiello made it even better!
Can’t wait to see hear the rest of the series.

Great narrator, less than inspirational story

Shallow characters, all challenges presented are imideatly fixed fixed by irrationality convenient "magical" solutions.

Too much plot armor

There was no real suspense in this book. The author protects the main character so much that every challenge faced begins to feel contrived. By the end the main character was insufferable and the story lost its interest.

Surprised me! Pure fun.

This book is all about delivering a fun and entertaining story. It doesn't disappoint. The story pulls you in and keeps your attention. It's a 2 for 1 to boot. Worth a credit in my book.

it's alright.

it seemed a little rushed and never really felt like there was risk with any danger in the story. Almost always the solution was found before there was a problem.

The best series ever

I’ve listen to this series many times the author and the narrator are the best fit for any books on audio that I’ve ever listen to

pretty good story.

it's a good story, the thing I didn't like is it takes a hard turn tword liberal views, anti American-izim, pro globalizim. even making a remark about Trump and him being evil. this happens mainly in the 2nd half. I think politics need to be left out of books for them to appeal to everyone, this is why I won't be buying 2/3.

Not for intelligent women

I tried, as it was a free book. But by chapter 18 it was clear that all important entities that had power were male regardless of species and women were valued for how they made men feel. The writing style was not sophisticated and the characterisation lacked depth.

So Very Creative, Story Kept Moving

This story had so many twists and turns, yet they all connected back. The narrator was superb. Obviously, this is a male narrator. Yet, it was so refreshing when he read the female voices he did not make them sound REDICULOUS, as is so often the case.
My one major objection was the comment thrown in about current day politics. The remarks made were truly not necessary. Isn't there anywhere we can go without a comment being made for or against our current political quandary? Apparently not. I almost stopped listening.

If you liked Expeditionary Force...

you'll love The Forever Series. Snarky AI's. Ruthless aliens. Plucky humans. Good clean fun.
