Publisher's summary

Contains books five and six of The Forever Series.

There is hope. But first you must find it.

As a horrific war with the ruthless Berrillians heats up, a new, more deadly threat arises - a mythical race known as the Last Nightmare, intent on destroying the universe. Once more, fate calls upon Jon Ryan.

An alliance is made between old friends and bitter enemies. Cooperation is the only thing that might just save them all.

But all the fighting, all the death, and all the suffering are changing Jon. With each passing crisis, his humanity ebbs further and further away.

Can Jon pull one more miracle out of his hat? Is the cost of survival worth his soul?

Scott Aiello brought this series to life!

Honestly, this one of the best narrated series I have ever heard on Audible. The story was good and to finish it is like staying good bye to an old friend. Scott brought this world to life with his pace, the accents and the individuality he brings to these characters was incredible. Hats off to Craig Robertson for a unique and funny story but Scott Aiello really brought it to life.

Mediocre science fiction with liberal politics

I listened to the first two books. They are tolerable and make the time spent scrubbing the toilet go by faster. The writing style is acceptable, the characters are shallow and 2 dimensional. I listen to Science fiction to get away from people cramming their liberal beliefs down my throat. Unfortunately every book I read these days throws gay marriage and leftist ideology right out in the front. This book is no exception. Subtle jabs at Trump and praise for the Clintons, Gore Andy other Democrats.... it isn’t pivotal to the story but the authors shoe-horn it in there any way... ultimately this was mediocre science fiction at its most mediocre....

The weakest installment in the series, but still good!

This was the most campy book in the series. The ending was okay, if a bit disappointing. It felt very anticlimactic. I did very much enjoy the series but can’t give this book quite as high of a rating as the first two. It simply was not as well thought out or engaging. Each challenge presented no real challenge other than talking in circles, and coincidence seemed to be used to unfair extremes. It’s a tough balance to write sci-fi that is “believable” and again, the first two books just did it better, setting a high bar. Overall a decent end to an otherwise great series.

its ok...

story is ok but I feel like the author kills off the main villain way to fast. Super hero John Ryan never gets to meet his Lex luther, joker, or frieza... As soon as the villain gets to momentum going John kills him easily enough. With that being said the other aspects of the story are pretty good.

Wonderful story, Amazing Narration

The story is truly epic and is a great continuation of the series. Scott Aiello has done such a great job bringing these characters to life. This is worth a listen if you have been following the adventures so far.

Disappointing ending

I’m not going to spoil the story and uncover the ending, but I was personally disappointed. Kind of went against the whole story narrative. If you want to keep the main character might and powerful in your memory, skip the prologue, wish I did.

This is probably one of the best books I have ever heard. The entire series is fantastic. The narration sells the entire experience. Highly recommended.

the butterfly ruined the book to me.

the butterfly ruined the book. with the entire universe it had to go to John's family. it would have been better too just remove it from the book, the rest of the nightmare's plot was okay but just the thought of how bad the butterfly plot was and unimaginative it made the rest of the read unpleasant.
it was almost like the author had run out of things to write and started just writing anything nonsense filler.

Excellent Story and Performance

I started this series thinking it was going to be another non-ending series but found instead an exciting and humorous book with a beginning and a good ending.

Good, but seemed a little rushed.

I really enjoyed the whole series, however again as per the last 2 books the 'final battles' seem to come to an abrupt end.

the whole story of Ryan was excellent though, so 5 stats all the way. Great bit of work overall.

What hay

Why would you ever finish (until now) an excellent set of books with the ending we got. Absolutely spoiled the whole series. Not an happy bunny.

A little trite at the end

I really liked the whole series right up to the last couple of chapters.

The end just seemed to have a "I'm done with this & can't be bothered finishing it well" feel to the writing.

Just a little dissapointing.

Good series

Enjoyed the premise, even if it seems a tak off of the "Bobs" Series. However, things were flowing well through the series til the end. It really felt like the author said "well, my deadline is tomorrow, so I better wrap this up in one paragraph.". Very disappointing

Just Fabulous

I have very much enjoyed these 6 books on Jon Ryan. I’m a little sad but also happy with this conclusion. I’m about to start the next set of 6 novels regarding Jon so am happy to have that to look forward to. Brilliant narration once again by Scott Aiello. Thanks Craig, I’ve loved these worlds you’ve created.

the story goes on. then stops

the performance of this book is the most outstanding part of it.
still, it has enough twists to keep the interest and mind ticking.
and I would recommend you to listen. the humanity of everyone is a deep point to take away and think about.

My chapters are out of their order!

If anyone can have a look at the order of chapters. I have chapters 34 to 37 labeled as chapter 2 to 5... And chapter one starts at chapter 6....

Thank you
