Amazing, worth waiting 2 billion years for

Absolutely loved the Forever series and this next instalment/series more than does it justice. Incredibly well written by Craig Robertson with Scott Aiello doing another fabulous job with the narration. I just love the way John talks to the reader/listener throughout. I can’t wait for the next set of books to be released.

scifi comedy

Its funny and made me laugh many time but don't expect the story to make sense. the book end abruptly without a conclusion even for a book in a series. I liked the main character, but the little girl seem different to when he first met her. at first she's seems a child then a fiery teenager.

Left in mid-air... again!

What is it with these authors who think it's fine to sell you half a story and expect you to keep forking out for more of it? I get it that a series can be spread out over a number of books - Expeditionary Force by Craig Alanson is a perfect example, and a brilliant series. But in this case, each book is a discreet story and each book adds to the overall picture and a long term storyline. But with this book the storyline simply stops in mid-air! Pay the author more money and invest more time and you'll get to hear more. Well, no more! I'm fed up with being a cash cow for these people. This is not a TV soap opera. It's a good storyline and it's an ok narration, but I won't invest my hard earned with this guy again.

Deadpool in space

Good story but the quips and retorts are so good don't know why but the description is terrible for this book with several problems. Don't let the description put you off the book is brilliant and the narrator really captures the intent and attitude of the characters. If you like a certain beer can you will probably enjoy this too

interesting in the beginning but...

but boring at the end... I have already finished the whole series... 9 books...I must say, this on still ok but after this book everything start to be... boring... and then even more boring. I got tired of the God complex, the puritan mentality, the tendency of trying to get drunk (does the author has a drinking problem?), and I finished heating every time the author mention fighter pilot. every time that mention this it make me rolls my eyes, and it does a lot, I mean A LOT. It will become hard to believe that the American will choose a person line this to represent the American population (Ok they did choose Trump as president... so... maybe) the story will soon go to worst and worst and what the 3 first books was an ok read, later become hard to continue and forced me to take pauses listening o be able to handle the levels of stupidity and non sense. The first 3 books were ok, I think I even like them, so please don't continue. Stop!!, leave Ryan dead and move on to other books. If you continue you will have no choice than to read and see/listen how the authors run out of imagination and make Ryan more and more dump. I would like to add that learning /researching a bit of physics would help a bit... performance, no complaints a all. I think Scott Aiello does a great job and when gives a bit more life to the book than it really has.

This seemed like good value, but wasn't

I'm not going to spend too much time describing what I thought of this book but it just seems like this author is under contract to turn out a certain amount of output in a short contract period. I can't believe this is the same author that created The Forever series as his offerings now are just lazy and repetitive. For example, every time he need information about an adversary he just goes to some alien bar and bumps into a random character that knows exactly what he wants ! Come on, we deserve better if we're going to use our valuable credits on this pulp

Funny, smart and dashing!

I listened to this book thinking it was the beginning and was able to follow the story no problem. Only after did I discover the other three books explaining his past and I'm looking forward to hearing those. the story was quick and didn't linger, the characters were enjoyably individualistic and the voice acting was almost impeccable(some pronunciation mistakes but that's more a matter of personal taste than being incorrect). Being an Englishman I was impressed with the narrator's English accents which are extremely rarely done well by American voice actors(I assume he's American). I had a minor problem with how much time was taken up with the teens; I ended up skipping those chapters so I didn't get to frustrated waiting for Jon to show up. All said and done, fantastic story!

Lacking everything

This book was horrid. I forced myself to listen to half of it but I finally couldn't take it anymore. The characters are so shallow it's ludicrous. The narrator should really take lessons from R.C. Bray and learn to enunciate properly as well as actually apply the punctuations in the text when reading. Or just switch careers. The latter would probably be preferable. Don't buy this book. You'll regret it!
