Author Jonathan G. Meyer brings is the beginning of a trilogy that deals with a man who is more than a man and the ship that he saves. The ship is the Excalibur and they are a colony ship that was sent out 40 years before the story began to the planet Avalon. Al is the first that we meet of the Excalibur crew that is suddenly awoken up from cryosleep. Once he is awake he starts to explore his environment since he lost his memory when a meteor shower hit the ship years ago. While searching through the ship he meet's a young man named Chris who befriends him and they then in turn slowly bring the ship back to life with the help of others that they've awoken. Once the surviving members of the crew awake they begin to make planet fall and find out that their new home is inhabited by a small humanoid species and what we would call Dinosaurs. This is a great book and the twists and turns will keep you reading for a long time. I am looking forward to the next book in the trilogy.
