The Hunt for Shambhala (An Avalon Adventure Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Rob Jones (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 925 ratings
The Hunt for Shambhala is a fast-paced, action-packed thriller featuring an ancient archaeological mystery and a brand-new crew of misfits who are thrown together in desperate circumstances and must fight to stay alive. When an old journal from a British explorer comes to light one hundred years after his death, it triggers a sequence of events that could lead to the annihilation of billions of people. John “Mitch” Decker is a former US Marine Corps officer and pilot who just wants a quiet life running his cargo business, but his world is turned upside down in a few seconds when Professor Selena Moore walks into his life. She is on the run and her life is in danger and they must learn to work together fast if they are to discover the ancient Tibetan Kingdom of Shambhala and stop a deadly and ruthless enemy before he can deploy a truly terrifying weapon. Similar in tone to the Joe Hawke Series, the Avalon Adventure Series follows Decker and the rest of the Avalon crew as they fly around the world in their own aircraft and explore the most mysterious archaeological and historical locations on Earth.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Right up my alley.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2017

    Two things caught my attention right off, before even opening the book: Shambhala and the Grumman Albatross. I've got a work-in-progress myself set in Shambhala (with a much different take) so this was a natural for me. The Hunt for Shambhala is a well-written, well-researched, fast-paced thrill ride, with colorful characters and exotic locales. I would have liked to have spent a bit more time in Shambhala itself, but we are hot on the trail of a diabolical bad guy and must foil his nefarious plans, so exploration and sight-seeing will have to wait until after the E-ticket ride of a conclusion. (Does anyone even remember E tickets?) Another reviewer didn't care for the dialogue, but I found the banter added color to the characterizations and provided a bit of comic relief here and there. By the end of the story, I felt as if I knew the characters well, and am very much looking forward to the next installment. - Ken Wallin, author of Falling to Eden and the upcoming Mountains of the Macaw.

    I love the characters in this book; they grew on me as they grew on each other. The interplay was absolutely hilarious, and I was extremely glad the book ended the way it did. I’m excited to find a new-to-me author and look forward to more books in this series.

    The only negative: it needed to be run by a good editor one more time. Errors always pull me out of a story, and there were more than I find acceptable in a book. That being said, the story was good enough that I will be buying the next book in the series. It’s a trade off.

    Very good story about a wanna-be relic hunter and crew.crew is wrong word, they are her friends. And Mitch got sucked in by being at the right place at the wrong time. Then not being able to tell Selena "no" when she asked for one more little thing. The story is fast moving, action filled and fun to read. Great job. Thank you.

    An exciting start to a new series!! This was my first foray into the world of Rob Jones, and I got to say I’m glad I made the leap. While there are some inconsistencies within the book, characters seem to change height/appearance/ability on a whim, even from one page to the next, it’s not enough to take you out of the book or the action. Especially the action since it’s filled to the brim with action, exotic locales, and unique events. If you’re debating, I’d say it’s worth it to pick up a copy of this book today. You won’t be disappointed.

    Great story, and a lovely introduction to some very interesting characters. You were kept on the edge of your seat wondering how and if they were going to reach their goal. The interaction of the different people was fun. If you want an exciting, but fun ride then you will love this book. Highly recommend it.

    Rob Jone corners the laid back easy to read adventure/thriller genre with a dash of historical back story..The Avalon crew is a group of likeable rogues who end up in tricky situations. Truth and righteousness alwY win over the villain
    Great kick back read plot lines not to complex well worth supporting this indie writer.

    I love adventure books! And while this one was enjoyable I almost gave up on it at the beginning for the simple reason of the way the Australian character was depicted. I'm so sick of Authors always making Aussies sound like absolute drongo's! (yes I deliberately used Aussie slang) NO ONE TALKS LIKE THIS ON A REGULAR BASIS!! And while this author (who is British but lives in Australia) is not the only one to do it, he's the author I'm blowing up on.
