AL CLARK-Gravity
THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES
Al and Maggie Clark are rock hoppers, on a mission to revolutionize space travel. An unexpected crash landing on an uncharted asteroid has led them to a discovery which could change the nature of spaceship propulsion. The only problem is how to implement their plan before their secret is unveiled and a modern day gold rush throws the spacer community into a mad rush to follow their example. Join Al and his crew as they navigate a tricky set of circumstances to follow their dream of changing the fortunes of anybody that calls their spaceship home, and uses said spacecraft to make a living.

While science fiction isn’t usually my genre of choice, AL CLARK – Gravity completely pulled me in from the first pages and didn’t let go.
Jonathan G. Meyer tells a grounded, character-driven story that makes the science feel accessible without ever dulling the sense of wonder. Al and Maggie Clark aren’t just explorers chasing a big idea — they’re working spacers with believable motivations, ambition, and heart. The concept of discovering a breakthrough in propulsion on an uncharted asteroid is compelling, but what really kept me reading was the human side of the story: the risks, the secrecy, and the tension of knowing that discovery invites competition.
The pacing is excellent, balancing technical ideas with momentum and emotion. There’s a genuine sense of lived-in space — ships that are homes, crews that are families, and livelihoods that depend on fragile machines and difficult choices.
I read this book straight through during a long, sleepless night, and it was exactly the kind of story I needed: immersive, hopeful, and quietly exciting. If you enjoy smart, character-focused science fiction with real stakes, this is absolutely worth your time — even if sci-fi isn’t usually your thing.
