About the author
Craig A. Robertson
75 books181 followersThe Seven Lives of Craig A. Robertson
Dr. Craig A. Robertson is a physician and the author of more than forty-five published science fiction novels. Getting there, however, was anything but a typical path.
His first life was that of a shoe salesman. This "profession" helped him to work his way through college. His first experience was at Kinney Shoes. leveling up to Sears, and eventually became a shoe manager at Montgomery Ward. All three companies later went bankrupt. Not. His. Fault. But he did meet his wife, Karen, at Sears, which made working there most rewarding.
His second life embraced the physical sciences. A childhood fascination with astronomy led him to UC Berkeley. However, he eventually switched to geophysics after realizing that astronomers spent an inordinate amount of time alone on cold, remote mountaintops. Somewhere along the way, physical science gave way to his true passion: medicine.
For his third life he
became a doctor. Medical school and residency were like being sentenced to an abusive gulag, but they provided two lasting benefits. First, he learned that nothing he encountered afterward would ever be harder. Second—and rather more importantly—he got to be a doctor.
His career began in academic medicine, when he became a professor of Emergency Medicine at a Level One Trauma Center. That was followed by yet another incarnation, this time as a research immunologist at UC Davis, where his work included a cloned antibody directed against human melanoma cells and research into primary biliary cirrhosis.
Eventually, Craig settled into the life of a practicing physician. But somewhere among patients, science, family, and all those previous incarnations, another life crept onto the scene.
He became a science fiction writer.
More than forty-five novels later, Craig spends a psychiatrically questionable amount of time destroying planets, rebuilding civilizations, tormenting his delicious evil villains, and making Jon Ryan traverse the universe ... forever.
It seems doubtful, given his past inclinations, that seven lives will be enough for Craig A. Robertson.

Numero seis for Tono
I'm really sad. I've read all 6 books in this series and now I'll have to find more books. Craig Robertson writes with seeming great joy. The story line is fast and furious(Holder) the dialog crisp, witty, with a big glop of sarcasm. Recommend for anyone with a sense of humor. You won't be able to put them down.

This is a review for the Galaxy on Fire series as a whole. The first two are included in Audible Plus, and I highly recommend them. Scott Aleijo does a great job with the narration with hilarious voices. The entire series is included with Kindle Unlimited so I read the rest of the series on my Kindle. I have to say I was imagining the voices as interpreted by Scott.
Overall it’s a fun, easy to read series. No hard science here, just action and snark. I like the deep time aspect even if it doesn’t really make sense his android body is still functional. These novels are not very long and can easily be completed in a day or two. Luckily there’s over twenty novels in the Ryanverse to keep you busy.

This was a funny and entertaining series of books. It was great that a immortal human android rescued the galaxy once again. How on earth did he mix in magical dragons and it totally works in the story. I’m going to have to read more of the authors work.

The conclusion. The downfall of the Adamant comes swift and fast with the help of a long lost friend. I sure hope there is another series in the Ryan-verse.
