Excerpt
Yowlar looked to the intensely blue skies. A flight of Asphalt Storks flapped majestically overhead, their grey and red plumage the picture of feathered elegance. Shifting his musing on to how those oversized grouse tasted, something peculiar caught his eye.The gangly birds were flying in stately fashion in V formation heading northwards, a tailwind aiding their progress. High above the avians drifted a backdrop of puffy white clouds pushed in the same direction by the stiff breeze. What puzzled him was the solitary lenticular cloud floating low above the southern horizon.
He called down to his dozing brother.There was no response, so he roared again.
'What is it, Yowlar?' came a peeved reply.
'Do you see that sky-bush out south?'
Hoaru took a moment to focus his sleepy eyes on the saucer-shaped cloud. 'The one that looks like a cats-eye lying on its side?'
'That's the one. What do you make of it?'
'Other than it's odd shape, nothing.'
'Look at it closer. It's moving.'
'Sky-bushes tend to do that, brother. They get blown about by the wind same as leaves do.'
'Cut the natural history lesson. Have you ever seen one drift against the wind?'
"Alan J. Garner's story, CHOSEN TOO, is fantastic. I love the way he mixes up facts with fiction. I can honestly say I never thought mixing prehistoric times with aliens would go well together, but it does. I liked the story a lot. I found it flowed well and once I started I couldn't stop reading. His story has extended my imagination and left me wanting to read more. Thanks for an enjoyable read!"

"Once again Alan J. Garner has achieved a masterful result by weaving a great tale about the survival of prehistoric life. Rich in detail, full of life, and with spot-on characters. All mixed together with his own true style of humour.
Like his first effort, CHOSEN TOO makes for a riveting story; I found it hard to put the book down. It was an absolute pleasure to read. I for one will be looking forward to his next book. Can't wait!"
