Publisher's 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?

Yes, It's Worth Your Coveted Audible Credit...

Truly a very enjoyable read - It should be classified as a Space Opera with a dash of "We Are Legion" thrown in. Broad of scope, this epic listen crosses the decades of time and space, and offers a wildly fun ride with a diverse cast.

So, take out your wallet. Pull out your Audible credit. Blow the dust off of it, and use it on this great audio book.

It's well worth it.

top quality serial

great story lines for a series genre.
some interesting twists on the eternal Android stuff. nothing deep, but really well done.

Ruin a good thing with political BS..

You had a decent storyline, interesting characters, and a solid product…… until you decided to take shots at Trump.. just couldn’t resist. I’ll never read or listen to another of your books

this was very entertaining.

yes, as a previous reviewer stated, it does seem to follow on the coat tails of the bobiverse books, but does that mean it's taboo to write a book about space exploration in order to save humanity? I think not, so pull your blinders off, stop trying to compare storylines, and just enjoy the story and performance for what it is, and in my opinion it's better than the Bob books, but then that's the beauty of subjective behaviors of human beings, live it, hate it, what ev's. 17+ hours of story performed by a good narrator? totally worth the credit

conservative Republicans beware.

this book is very clearly written by a leftist and his strong beliefs. the story starts off slow almost like a sitcom with each episode being a planet but then quickly turns into thrilling suspenseful epic with Android's and AIs all wrapped up in crazy technology. I just don't understand why the author felt the need to take a stab at Trump when this story is in a completely unrelated time (the future). he Praises all of the clintons and Rags on all the Republicans. I'm sorry but wasn't this supposed to be a science fictional story? if I wanted political views forced down my throat I'd watch CNN. just stick to the darn story

Not a lot of meat on the bone

I wanted to like this book but it really doesn't live up to the We Are Legion books or Expeditionary Force. Even though we are reading Science Fiction, the disbelief is just too much to suspend. The villains are obvious and predictable. The battles are short, one sided, and very aided so to speak.

wow!

I rarely actually write a review, but in this case I have to. This...book....was... AWESOME!! Everything that you could ever want from a sci-fi novel and superb narrating to boot. It's nothing short of spectacular. I can't wait to start the next one!

Astonishing, Captivating, and Even Emotional

This book is one I could say I truly enjoyed. I will not spoiled it for you, but will convey only this, the character lives forever. it's a must read or listened too, which ever you prefer. Don't wonder or read the reviews. buy the book. I promise, you will not disappointed!

Great story!

Very entertaining and will look forward to the next one by in the ongoing series .

I am married to a fighter pilot…

…so I found this novel to be particularly funny. The author definitely has some experience dealing with the personality traits of those folks! The narrator is probably the best I have ever heard! His massive range of voices for the characters was stunning and really made the story come alive.
