He saved humanity. Now he can't save himself.
Jon Ryan has everything — an intergalactic cube, immortality, and a war hero’s legend — and none of it matters. Nursing whiskey in a dive bar on a smelly farmship, he’s content to let the galaxy move on without him. Then the President of the New United States shows up in blue jeans to deliver an uncomfortable truth: somewhere out there is another Jon Ryan, one who lost not a handful of people but nine billion — an entire world. That Jon Ryan needs to be found. Whether he’s a ghost, a threat, or the only mirror Jon can stand to look into, the quest can’t wait any longer.
Part space opera, part deeply human reckoning with grief, loss, and purpose, The Forever Quest sends Jon Ryan hurtling across the galaxy — chasing a mystery that may be the most dangerous thing he’s ever hunted: himself.
The Forever Quest is the fourth installment in Craig Robertson’s acclaimed Forever Series, set in the vast Ryanverse. Robertson blends sharp-edged humor, genuine emotional depth, and galaxy-spanning adventure in a story about what it means to keep going when everything you loved is gone. Featuring the beloved cast of aliens, androids, and irrepressible humans that fans know and love, this entry deepens the mythology while pushing Jon Ryan toward his most personal — and most dangerous — mission yet.
