From the hottest action author on the planet, now comes the fastest story ever told ...Imagine twenty fighter jets racing around twisting, turning aerial track, ducking and weaving and overtaking at insanely high speeds, and you've just imagined a hover car race. In the world of the near future, man travels everywhere in vehicles that hover four feet above the ground. Inevitably this brilliant new technology has inspired the latest super-fast, competitive sport of hover car racing, whose feted superstars inhabit a glamorous world of wealth, celebrity and extreme danger. They are the hottest ticket in town. This is the story of Jason Chaser, a young newcomer from the Australian outback, as he battles for the respect and recognition he can only gain in the international circuits through his courage and death-defying exploits on the track.

Matthew Reilly, born and still resident in Sydney, studied law before turning his pen to fiction. His previous novels, Contest, Ice Station, Temple, Area 7 and Scarecrow have been massive bestsellers in every continent.
Reillys fast-paced futuristic fiction features Jason Chaser, a poor student who makes it into an international race school on guts and great driving. But the story slams to a halt when Sean Mangan proceeds to read columns of stats in the midst of the races. Morgans recitation completely stops the pace of the action--high-speed races through some of the worlds most amazing countryside and cityscapes from Tasmania to New York City. Elsewhere, Mangan makes the most of the rivalries, vicious saboteurs, and good guys/gals who race to glory in this consolidation of Reillys three illustrated stories: CRASH COURSE, FULL THROTTLE, and PHOTO FINISH. In a concluding interview, Reilly talks about the storys original free release via the Internet and mentions maps and illustrations unavailable to the listener.
