The Forever Life (The Forever Series Book 1)

Jon Ryan is a fighter pilot and astronaut selected as the first volunteer for Project Ark, a mission to search the galaxy for a new home for humanity. Earth faces destruction within a century after Jupiter is knocked off its orbit. To undertake this journey, Jon must have his consciousness transferred into an experimental android host built under a government contract. Accompanied only by his ship's AI, Al—a cantankerous presence rather than a helpful computer—Jon encounters alien civilizations across the galaxy. He must master diplomacy to gain their assistance while frequently running for his life. Jon possesses three advantages: exceptional luck, fearlessness, and considerable confidence. As Jon tests the limits of human technology and his own psychological endurance, he faces a final challenge: saving humanity itself. The story follows his epic voyage and the question of whether he can succeed or become humanity's sole survivor, lost in space forever.
