Ryan in UnWonderland

The Whales of Time, Book 1

By: Craig Robertson

Narrated by: Scott Aiello

Jon Ryan has some unfinished business. Lots of unfinished business, in fact.

Since he caused the universe to reboot, well, he can't seem to find his wife of two billion years. That's one great big oops. He also can't find the massive time ship Aramthella and her human crew. Double oops. And then there's the matter of not knowing whey why there are several copies of key people in the new reality he must navigate. Triple oops. He actually knows one whole heck of a lot less about his current situation than seems healthy. But he's Jon Ryan, former fighter pilot turned android warrior for humankind. All things considered, he's not too worried, so don't you be either.

Even before Jon can begin to resolve the stack of woes he's already got, he and the much younger version of him both start receiving dream-based cries for help from a previously unknown leviathan species. Why can't people just pick up the phone and call nowadays? Just as the Jons learn of this call to action, they begin to come under fire from some mysterious energy bursts, barely escaping with their lives. It would seem someone objects to their involvement in the hunting of the behemoths of time. Turns out that if you're a Jon Ryan, nothing is simple, and nothing is ever straightforward. Oh, bother.

Can the elder Jon find his lost mate? Will either Jon live long enough to even find the space whales in distress? And can anyone alive figure out why the universe rebooted in the first place? I mean, it's not your everyday occurrence... is it? So many questions... so many Jons. Bumps in the road seem likely.

Join the Jon Ryans and their team—Toño ... er, the other Toño, a couple of Sapales, and one each of Miguel Cervantes, his flaky wife Dominica, and Dontiqui. Remember her? She's the Kaljaxian rebel leader who died saving Jon and Sapale way back when. Yeah, this story's complicated. But it's also a screaming blast! Join up, join in, and revel in the fun as the Ryanverse expands faster than might be allowed by either reason or science!

Great

Another great book can’t wait till the rest is released all these books and Craig has done a amazing job

Love the sagas of Ryan

As normal a good book but this is all setting up so not much happens hope the next book picks up the pace and action.

Another hit

Just keep on keeping on. Another great book in the Saga of John Ryan... Narration is great as always Scott kills it.

Interesting time travel tale.

The story has a lot of back story that they don’t tell, but it’s alluded to. It maybe part of the whole series that will make sense, but the lack of explaining made for a hard read.

Secondly, there are different characters with the same name at different timelines. Trying to figure out when you were took a few moments.

Overall, it’s a good story, making me want to listen to the whole series to see if it’s a closed loop.

Another great time

Really enjoyed this one, just as I have enjoyed the rest. Mostly story, yes, but definitely sets up for action in the forthcoming novels.

Can’t wait for the next one.

I’m so frustrated I’m caught up on these books. Now I have to wait who knows how long for the next one. Give me more Jon Ryan.

Amazing!

Can’t wait for the next one! I’ve listened to all of John Ryan and it never ceases to blow my mind every time!! Amazing writing and beyond amazing narration!! Kudos to Craig and Scott!!

excellent

I am a huge fan of all things John Ryan so when I found the new book I got it and listened to it in a day. now I am without John Ryan again but it was magnificent while it last

Everyone hates John

I do enjoy the endless twists and turns of each story. It keeps me on my toes trying to get ahead of the next bit of story line.

Ryan(s) does it again

I can never get enough of Jon Ryan. I’m curious where the series will go, but I can’t wait to listen to it.
