Anti-gravity races? That sounds thrilling, and such a different concept for a sci-fi book! Can’t wait to read more about Reme and his adventures in Andora City! Thanks for the review, it was extremely well-written! I love that there is a background story with Reme’s parents!

The reviewer's description of "Afterburn" as a fast-paced sci-fi with unexpected plot twists has me intrigued. I love novels that keep me on my toes, and this seems like a thrilling read that won't follow the typical storyline.

At first, I thought that this book was probably about the story of a boy who moved from humble background to greater heights. Then it suddenly got interesting. Why did David's pod explode?

Parental support is one of the main highlights of “Afterburn” which also talks about dreams, courage and technological shortcomings. I hope it reaches the right audience and is appreciated by them. Congrats on the BOTD!

Interesting! Most of us celebrate technology and how it makes our lives easier. We don't usually talk about the downsides, though we are subconsciously aware of the harm it's doing us. This aspect of the book "Afterburn" intrigues me.

In contemplation, I think the title is self-explanatory, and I'm sure the explosion was not a mere accident. This book would be an enlightening read.

The plot is great; a good writing style will surely crown it a great book. No matter how well-meaning parents are, it's best to let their kids decide what they want to be, because it's already in-built in them.
Thank you for the review.

I am glad to know that this novel is fast-paced, full of suspense, and has great character development. I would like to know why David's pod exploded and what unfolds following this incident. R.K. Higgins's "Afterburn" is a well-written science-fiction that anyone interested in this genre would enjoy reading.
