There is nothing great like parents' support. The idea of anti gravity pod racing seems like a fun game. Also this fast paced story filled with suspense and unexpected twists and turns. Although sci-fi is my favorite genre, I'm not really interested in racing. So this is not the book for me. I appreciate your insights into this novel for potential readers. Fantastic review!

Science fiction that had mystery and the thrill of racing. I'm sure lovers of fast paced stories would love this.
As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will always exist.

Science fiction is not my genre so I'm not keen on this book. I think fans of Star Wars will like it, though. It reminds me of Anakin and pod racing in Episode One. I did enjoy Star Wars, but sci-fi has become so complicated, my ancient imagination could no longer cope.

"Afterburn" by R.K. Higgins is a thrilling combination of science fiction, action, romance, and mystery. Its cover page is appealing, and from it, you'll sure expect there's action in it. I am looking forward to delving into it and finding out if Reme fulfils his dream of riding. Congratulations to the author!

I like the plot so I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to be with Reme Reagan's journey as a racer in Andora, where an intrigue rose when one of the racer champion died. Is it an accident or something sinister is involved? One way to find out!

Nice review. "Afterburn" by R.K Higgins is a science fiction novel that delves into the rarity city of Andorra. The reason of death behind David is mystery or it's natural death is what makes the book readable till the end.

Based on my speculation, someone is responsible for David's death because this is not the first time he has raced. I will have to read this book to find out who the person is and why the deed.

This sci-fi story seems to revolve around a fictitious racing world in Andora. The elements of suspense intertwined with the racing accident and how they unfold seem worth reading in this novel.

Pretty good review but a little over revealing about some of the plot for me.

The complex relationships, unexpected plot twists, and the darker side of technology make Afterburn by R.K. Higgins a must-read sci-fi novel. I'm eager to delve into Reme's journey and witness how courage and teamwork shape his destiny in the racing world of Andora.

This appears to be a great sci-fi/racing/follow-your-dreams type book. Even if you aren't a fan of sci-fi, I think the following your dream elements would stand out sufficiently to enjoy the book. I look forward to the rest of the book.

From the review, this sounds like an interesting read. I am glad to have downloaded the book and will read it soon. Reme finding love and dealing with the red tape associated with the racing appear to give the story a well varied series of human situations. I look forward to experiencing the reviewers pov on the writing style.

I am fascinated by Reme's ambitious dream of riding in the racing city of Andora. I am intrigued by the issues between Reme's parents that are disallowing him to chase his dreams. I am interested in learning what would happen, romance-wise, between Reme and Kalina.
