The Forever Man

Book 1: Pulse

By: Craig Zerf

Narrated by: Michael Neeb

The first pulse occurred in the old calendar year of 2022. A sequence of gigantic solar flares created a series of massive electromagnetic pulses that stopped the heart of our modern world and returned us to the Dark Ages. Tens of thousands died within the first few hours as airplanes fell from the skies, hospitals ceased to work, and every form of modern transportation ground to a halt. Within days the death toll had reached the hundreds of thousands. Fires raged unchecked through the cities, water supplies ran out and survivors turn on each other as mob rule surpassed all else.

And Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant Nathaniel Hogan finds that he has been changed by the huge amounts of gamma radiation in the solar flares. They have enhanced his natural abilities, giving him increased speed, strength, and healing; indefinitely extending his life span and enabling him to be able to draw on the power of the solar flares to create magik. Making him - The Forever Man. But even The Forever Man was not prepared for what happened next.

very predictable

I enjoyed the storyline but some what predictable. The narration was not varied or consistent sounded like a teen trying to deepen his voice for older characters. This first book will be my last book for this series

Good premise

I like the storyline, apocalypse, magic, time travel and multi dimension. There's basic problem characters & workd building too shallow, narrator sucked and I'm not pl dying 1 credit/$20 buck for a 4 hour book.

Meh, Classic case of Story line over kill

Great beginning premise. Unfortunately weak characters with even weaker character development. And too many genres in one story line. Like putting every idea you ever had into one story. Also when your story is set in England use an English narrator. Not an American who can't affect any kind of accents and has no vocal skills

Better than expected

Almost didn't buy it because I saw a few stinker reviews but those folks are cantankerous crank cussers. Forever Man was a fun listening to on Audible.

Just ok

Spoilers: I liked the premise but not the execution. The MC was a caricature of a U.S. Marine and a bad one at that. No Marine would ever do what he did and leave his men behind. Period, end of story. I did like the idea behind the book I just couldn’t get over how horribly portrayed some of the characters were. Not sure if I will listen to the next one or not.
