Al Clark, Book 2: Avalon Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

See all formats and editions

One thousand people left a failing Earth to embark on a 30-year journey to a promising new world. All passengers were placed in hibernation pods, to be awakened one month before obtaining orbit around their new home. The starship they traveled in was fully automatic and worked almost flawlessly.

When they arrived, they found a virgin world of breathtaking beauty, with sparkling water and clean, fresh air. Avalon was paradise. What these pioneering colonists would soon discover is...paradise comes at a price.

I enjoyed book 2 of the Al Clark series just as much as the first book. The dinosaurs are intelligent and they want their territory back! The colonists are fortunate to have Al on their side! Great, fun read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looking for Something A Little Different

After reading book 1, I was ready for book 2. The more I got to know Al Clark, the more I liked him. The writing moves smoothly from scene to scene and it is hard to put the book down.
I was a little disappointed in the direction this book took. I wanted to see how they dealt with the dinosaurs. By mid-story, I was beginning to see more errors and some of the priorities left me scratching my head. The ending left me hoping the author would redeem himself in the next book (and he did.) I enjoyed the book and was ready for book 3.

I really like this series so far. The leaders of this group of displaced travelers are so likable. Al is selfless, a quality sadly lacking in real life. Chris is inquisitive. Their new world is full of promise and threats. Keeps the reader engaged and entertained. I am downloading the third installment now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good science fiction
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019

I have finished the four book series, and so, am writing this review sort of, after the fact. I feel this series of books does everything that really good science fiction is supposed to do. That is, to be an enjoyable read and to involve the reader in the story. Jonathan had done so remarkably well. I can really connect with him being an electrician and carpenter. You, the turkeys who deride his writing style as juvinial, probably could not write so much as an intelligent letter to your own mother. In this book, Al Clark and the survivors from the Excalibur, after to Set up a colony on planet Avalon, and make some really astonishing discoveries in the process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Al Clark's adventure continues
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2020

Author Jonathan G. Meyer brings us the continuation of the Al Clark story with Avalon. It's been five years since the colonists of the starship Excalibur made planet fall on to their new home. And everything may start out calm but the Riktor's are getting more aggressive, one whom calls himself Terror wants the valley where the little town of Camelot has been settled and he plans on using the devil dogs and the winged ones to take what he wants. While this is going on Al's internal power supply is running low and will need to be changed if he is to go on living and being a husband and stepfather to Elizabeth and Chris and a grandfather to Chirs's son. One day while they are out scouting and killing Riktors Al, Chris and the Captain (who is also the town major now) find a badge barred but Al picks it up and their lives change. This is a great book and I won't give away what happens but I highly recommend it to all science fiction fans. And I am looking forward to reading the next two books in the series.

I really likes the premise and compelling but i c
hose this rating because I have learned that while the price is comparable to paperback, the number of pages and the length of the book is not. the storyline is interesting and provocative and I will buy the third book as now I am eager to learn how the little colony moves forward. Story and characters aside, I would not recommend this as worth the $$$.

This is the second book in the Al Clark series. A lot of times, the second book of a series is disappointing. This book was not. It continued to keep me filled with the wonder of all the books I've loved reading. The mystery of who Al Clark is I had suspected from the first book. This book confirmed that secret. All the while, the intrigue continued making me look forward to the next book in the series. My continued thanks to the author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great Al Clark Read!
Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2024
Verified Purchase
This book seamlessly took up where #1 in this series left off. I like the authors protagonists, they are, without exception, positive and likeable! The excitement comes, not from human conflict (which is refreshing), but from an intelligent Saurian foe whose hunting grounds the settlers have unwittingly occupied! I love the main character of the story, Al Clark, a sort of superman with a human brain and a robotic body!

The only reason I didn't give this second book of a series another five stars was because of some misspelled words (no not "metal" and "mettle!") and, more importantly, because it was a (too abrupt) cliffhanger. Since I had bought volume three of the series already, this was not a big problem for me but it might prove to be an unexpected disappointment for someone who just likes to sample a few books of a series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent dinosaurs are not to be ignored

This book is excellent, following the survivors of Avalon as they fight to keep their community safe.
An unexpected find whilst on a survey of the mountain nearby gives the settlers a renewed hope for their community, but the Riktors have an intelligence that they could not perceive. They have new technology meaning they can replace power packs but the beasts are not to be cowed.
This leaves them with only one option to find somewhere else to live, but other areas of the planet are just as dangerous so they must go off planet and find somewhere else to live.

I enjoyed the book, but I thought that there should have been some consideration of non interference with the Avalonian wildlife and not indescriminate killing of the world's natural predetors. I will still be reading book 3 with interest to see how things progress.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thoroughly enjoyed reading it

I have to admit that I don't generally read sci-fi but thought I'd give this book a go. And I'm so glad I did! Yes, spaceships and dinosaurs are an unlikely mix but Jonathan G Meyer pulls it off. The story is an easy read, with just enough background on the characters to get to know them without protracted life stories. The setting is wonderfully explained and you get a real feel for the colony. And whilst the sci-fi is there, it is not the main focus and does not batter you over the head with complex technical jargon or over-imaginative concepts. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it can can't wait for the next one.
