    About this audiobook

    The Fast and the Furious meets The Hunger Games in acclaimed author Chris Wooding's blistering vision of the future.

    Buckle up for a fast-paced, high-octane thrill ride!

    Cassica and Shiara are best friends. They couldn't be more different, but their differences work to their advantage -- especially when they're drag racing. Cassica is fearless and determined, making her the perfect driver for daring, photo-finish victories. Shiara is intelligent and creative, able to build cars out of scrap and formulate daring strategies from the passenger's seat.

    Now they've set their sights on the Widowmaker -- the biggest, most anticipated, and most dangerous race of the year. The winners get a pass to a life of luxury and fame. The losers, more often than not, die in fiery explosions. And even if Cassica and Shiara survive the deadly three-day challenge... their friendship might be roadkill.

    This breathless reimagining of extreme sports is perfect for fans of Mad Max: Fury Road and NASCAR.

      MOST NOVELISTS HAVE AT LEAST ONE book in a drawer that represents an early effort, a text that will never be offered up to a wider readership. In the case of Jay Kristoff, this book was a tale of bloodsuckers he wrote in 2008. “It was right at the ta

      It’s mad to think that 600s are no more – or rather, that manufacturers are no longer making box-fresh offerings for everyday road use. Growing up in the early Noughties, 600s were still big business and plentiful in number, both on the road and the

      Such a fun, fast paced, thrill ride!
      I just finished a second read through and it was just as good as I remembered the second time through.
      This book was written back in 2015, but I feel like it has never been more relevant than right now. With themes of everyone seeking fame and influencer status, and clawing to stay relevant.
