Hover Car Racer

De: Matthew Reilly

Narrado por: Sean Mangan

From the best-selling author of Seven Deadly Wonders and Contest comes a thrilling racing adventure. In the world of the near future, the most popular sport is hover car racing. Superfast and dangerous, its heroes are the racers: part fighter pilot, part race-car driver, all superstar. But to get to the Pro Circuit, you must first pass through the International Race School, a brutal cauldron of wild races on even wilder courses, where only the best of the best will survive.

This is the story of Jason Chaser, a talented young racer selected to attend the Race School. He's younger than the other students. He's smaller. His trusty car, the Argonaut, is older. But Jason Chaser is no ordinary racer. And as he races against the best drivers in the world he will learn that at Race School winning is everything, that not everyone in this world fights fair, and that you never ever have any friends on the track.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"No one writes faster-moving adventure fiction." (Publishers Weekly)
"Fast-paced, action-packed." (School Library Journal)
"Adrenaline-pumping accounts of the competitions." (Booklist)

Fast paced action

This book is about a a young boys determination to be the best. No that is actually incorrect, as he learns, it is about being the best you can be. That it is set in a futuristic racing world, makes it fast and exiting. But it would have been just as good with ordinary racing. It is a story we all can relate to, because we all want to do our best. It is about that winning is only importuned if you win with honor and dignity. The honest boy in a world of intolerance, envy and jealousy. Truly a good story to be read. That the action is well described to makes this a great book. I am sorry that the books illustrations are not included, so I am thinking of buying the real book to.

Fun Story

I enjoy almost all of Matthew Reilly’s books. (I didn’t care for parts of The Tournament). Exciting races. And I LOVE the maps of each race.

Awesomeness 🛞

Really enjoyed Matthew Reilly's books as he has proven time and again to be wonderful at world building, with character driven storytelling. Overall, this story was exciting (should be an IMAX movie), with strong engaging protagonists who valued their brotherly family bonds, just a great read ♨️

Don’t sleep on the underdog

Outstanding story with fun characters and dialogue. I really enjoyed listening to this semi-futuristic story of racing and honestly wish there was more races to listen to. Great racing story for those that love the underdog and racing in general. Will likely listen to it again! Cheers!

A nice difference

This story is very different to the other Matthew Reilly books I've read and I really enjoyed it. Matthew is a great writer. Very entertaining. A great listen!
