The Avalon Protocol

Snake in the Willows

By: Q. Harveson

Narrated by: Cole Forbes

When Eliot, an ordinary guy, witnesses something extraordinary, he lands in the clutches of a villain with God-like ambitions. Enter Avalon, a mischievous genius and reluctant hero who treats reality like her personal sandbox—the last person you’d expect to crash our villain’s party like she misplaced her keys. Rescue wasn’t really on the menu, but hey, since she was in the neighbourhood.

Now Eliot is swept into a surreal battle for the fabric of existence, clinging to the one person who seems to understand any of it, though she insists it’s all just a bit of fun. But as the stakes spiral from weird to cosmic and a darker plot begins to unfold before them, Eliot begins to wonder if life can ever be normal again.

Fast-paced, darkly funny, and full of strange twists, The Avalon Protocol is a genre-smashing sci-fi adventure where the universe is just another system to crack.

a charming and very well narrated adventure

Avalon Protocol delivers a solid story and some interesting ideas, highly elevated by the narration. The performance injects a charming amount of life to the characters and descriptions and adds a level of polish that kept me entertained and invested. A good listen overall, and I will certainly be checking out the other works by both the author and the narrator.

Enjoyable

Great book. I really like the bit of humor in it and also the adventure feeling. The narrator does a really good job with this book. The storyline is very easy to follow and is interesting at same time. Definitely recommend this book.

Funny

The Avalon Protocol by Q. Harveson is a great science fiction adventure. Cole Forbes did a great job with the narration. The story is entertaining, funny, interesting, exciting, mysterious, and more. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. highly recommended

Excellent story and excellent narration! Listen!

First of all, The Avalon Protocol is the 4th in a series that I am hooked on, so I love the book! According to the authors website the other books in the series will be on Audible soon and I will probably be getting them even though I have read the books already. (the ones that are out, anyway)
Because- The narration was CRAZY GOOD. I have listened to quite a few audio books. Sometimes they are really good and sometimes the narrator will put me to sleep. This was just so much better. The narrator did character voices so you never had a doubt who was talking.
The book goes from funny to heartwarming to exciting...there is just a lot going on. The narrator set the tone for each scene so well.
I will be telling everyone I know to get this audio book and I can't wait for the rest of the series!

Fantastic Listen! Excited for more to come!

This was a great and easy listen! I really enjoyed this novel and liked the disjointed story telling style, although at times it was hard to follow without more context. But that gives me something to look forward to! The voice actor/narrator did an amazing job. He had a great range and flow. And his voice + some of the spicier dialogue scenes were :))
