Who is Jon Ryan? He's a fighter pilot and astronaut tasked with saving humankind from the imminent destruction of Earth. With the planet Jupiter knocked off its orbit, humankind has less than a century to find a new home. Jon becomes the first volunteer for Project Ark, a desperate mission to search the galaxy for a suitable location for human resettlement. But first, he must have his consciousness transferred into an experimental android host. Our fate and his life depend on a new machine built under a lowest-price-technically-acceptable government contract. Sheesh, what could go wrong?
Jon's only companion on his epic voyage will be his ship's AI, Al. Unfortunately Al turns out to be more like a cantankerous spouse than a helpful computer program. Along the way, Jon encounters alien civilizations and must learn the dark art of diplomacy to convince them to help Jon in his quest. But mostly, he has to run for his life. Fortunately, Jon has three things in his favor: he's incredibly lucky, fearless, and so cocky you just want to shake his hand.
As Jon pushes the limits of human technology and his own psychological strength, he must overcome one final challenge: saving our species. Can he succeed, or will he become the sole survivor, lost in space forever? And is the galaxy ready for Jon? Not one chance! Poor aliens. You almost have to feel sorry for them.
If you're a fan of BV Larson's Undying Mercenaries Series or Craig Alanson's Expeditionary Force , then you'll love The Forever Life. It's a LOL funny, fast-paced adventure full of fantastic characters and I-did-not-see-that-coming plot twists. Welcome to the Ryanverse!
Review
"As a lifelong reader in this genre, a serious faaan, and a drinking partner of Bradbury and a hanger on of Harlans, I think I can say that Craig Robertson has the chops. The depth of emotions, the breadth of the story, and the character's (human and alien) humanity and alieness is remarkable. Start reading this series, now, it's fantastic." ART
"Great characters, great plot and funny too. I was late to work because I couldn't put it down!" GKA
"Pretty picky on what I like to read, really enjoyed this first book. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series!" JM "Hey Craig, thought about writing dialogue for movies? Highly recommend this book. Not a new story in many ways, and very fresh in presentation. Hard to put down." JDW *

From the Author
I have had the best time writing The Forever Series. I was able to release my inner Jon Ryan. What does that mean? Jon is irreverent, cocky, funny, and walks with a swagger. He's the person we all wish we could be. He says what he means, he says what he wants to, and, in fact, he says what needs to be said. Jon's always a gentleman, never a bastard, and is full of bravado. Over the top? Nah. He's just right. Read the series. You'll see.
