The novel “Al Clark” by Jonathan G. Meyer was published for the first time in 2014. It’s the first book in the Al Clark series.

Al Clark wakes up with no memory, to the point that he reads his name when he looks around to try to understand his situation. Exploring the pod in which he was in suspended animation, he meets a boy who has already been awake for a while and discovers he’s on a spaceship traveling to a planet to be colonized. Together, they start awakening other people, including the captain.

With at least a part of the crew awakened, it becomes possible to start seriously assessing the situation of their mission. The aspiring colonists realize that their journey has ended and the spaceship is orbiting Avalon, the planet that’s supposed to become their new home. Their problems, however, are not over because the planet is inhabited, and the investigation into the reasons why the crew wasn’t awakened in the scheduled way indicates that there was a sabotage.
