Al Clark (Book One)

Perhaps good people can overcome the greed destroying our planet right now with foresight and a sense of community .

I enjoyed reading this book and found it quite interesting and believable. The main character and his friends, as well as the others around them, are well described. Good plot.

The ending felt a bit rushed but other than that it’s awesome!👍

Excellent sci fi. Humaniy at its best. Honest interactions. Thoroughly enjoyed the tale.

The story starts with the main character Al Clark waking up in a pod not knowing where he is. The story then goes on to take the reader to the new world that the ship has been circling for the past 10 years The first book could almost be a story in its own but it will be interesting to see how the story evolves

Great story. Not packed with evil doers. Well written with only a few grammatical errors. I’m not an English teacher. Decent happy ending with more stories to come.

Great story, wonderful read.

Well written, well edited. Not too much techno babble to distract my reading, and no super intergalactic warfare, just good believable humans doing what humans do.

Easy read sci fi with a pleasant story line

I found the premise to be interesting and was delighted that planet fall actually happened successfully. In other books it often doesn’t happen—the colonists never reach their goal. The story was just the right length to keep my attention and keep me reading.

From beginning to end this is one of a kind amazing tale of exploration and survival! I could not put this book down, and that hasn’t happened in a long time!

Loved the concept. Thank you for sharing your book.

Great book

Enjoyed the story line, the adventure, and thrills. Looking forward to the sequel.

The only issue I had was with some of the dialogue. It didn’t feel real in a couple of instances. Otherwise, it was a pretty good book. There wasn’t a cliffhanger ending and I’m very thankful for that!

I like sience fiction that is not simply nonstop space battles. This story has well devoloped story involving well developed characters, all of which I liked, and is a unique perspective on colonization of a new planet. Well worth the read. I read it in tow nights. Pretty good

I’ve been an avid reader my entire life and enjoy many different genres of books. Recently I’ve gotten back into SciFi and Fantasy after years and years of anything but. Al Clark was an enjoyable read for me because I found it light and easy to read without having to remember too many difficult character names and complicated sub-plots. Don’t misunderstand, I like a well-told story that weaves around inside my head, however a book like this one that was more direct was relaxing and good fun. Well done, Mr Meyer!

This review was first published on Kurt's Frontier. Synopsis: The spaceship Excalibur has left Earth for a new start on a planet thirty years away. The ship is state-of-the-art. One thousand people are kept in hibernation while the automatic systems complete its journey. Except something has gone dreadfully wrong. Forty years into the journey and they still have not woke up. Al Clark awakens with amnesia. He has no memory of how or why he’s on the ship. As he helps to wake the surviving passengers, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery. He goes places he never imagined and does things he didn’t think possible. Yet he is still left with a great mystery: Who is Al Clark? Review: Al Clark is the first book of the series with the same name. Earth is in the midst of an environmental crisis. Earth has sent colony ships to other Earth-like worlds. We are introduced to Al Clark, a man who wakes up on the ship with amnesia. What follows is Al Clark slowly working out who he is and why he is on the mission. There are characters—like Chris: a young man who is the first person Al meets after waking up and Liz, Chris’s mother—who become people we learn to care about. The first contact scenario seemed to go to well. This results from a prophecy that isn’t further explored after the author introduces it. As the story revolves around the setup of the colony, it proves to be an episodic story but still enjoyable with exciting battles with dinosaurs.
