In the world of the near future, man travels everywhere in vehicles that hover four feet above the ground. But this brilliant new technology has inspired a super-fast, ultra-competitive sport the likes of which the world has never seen: hover car racing. It’s both dangerous and glamorous, where racers are part fi ghter pilot, part race-car driver, all superstar. It is the hottest ticket in town. This is the story of Jason Chaser, a talented young racer who is selected to attend the famed International Race School, the brutal gateway to the Professional Circuit. There he will contest against the best young racers on the planet – on some of the wildest circuits you can imagine – all of them wanting one thing: to graduate from the Race School and get a contract to compete in the big time, the International Pro Circuit. “No one writes faster–moving adventure fiction.” ― Publishers Weekly “From the best-selling author of Seven Deadly Wonders and Contest comes a thrilling racing adventure.” - Amazon

From AudioFile:

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.
