A science fiction book that explores one's perseverance in chasing his ambition to be the racer in a high developed technology world. Parents also can read this book to get the ideas of how to support the children's ambition. A fast paced book to fill the time during your weekend off.

I like how the author depict the reality in our society. In any competition, rules are set, which seems fair but when the real game began that where the players play rough. It's difficult identifying good and bad people in our society.
The book is good.

The reviewer's appreciation for how the author tackled the theme of parental support resonates with me. The idea of parents adjusting their plans to ensure their child's happiness adds a human touch to the sci-fi setting. This emotional depth is something I look for in a good read.

Your review is amazing, Tori! I sampled the episode you mention about David's father succumbing to David's racing, and I agree with you that the author's style is fascinating. I also liked how you looked beyond the facade of this suspenseful sci-fi story and gleaned the deeper meanings of the downsides of technology and innovation and the parent-child relationships.

Thank you for the thought provoking review,Tori. The Amazon sample describes the relationship between a boy, Reme Reagan and his supportive parents and how they ensured he achieved his dream.The book covers the dark side of technology, providing a different perspective and focuses on themes and adventures pertinent to science fiction enthusiasts. I’m not keen on science - fiction but the storyline sounds interesting and may persuade me to read further. Congratulations on #BOTD.

I like it that Higgins has developed this book in a fast pace and included suspense in the novel, especially as readers will be curious to find out who murdered David. Thanks for the review.

This book sounds interesting I should have a copy of it, I wonder what transpired at Andora. It is really difficult as a parent to support a child to do what they love but elat the end of the day we can't choose life for them.
