The novel “Afterburn” by R.K. Higgins was published for the first time in 2018. It’s the first book in the Afterburn series.

Reme Reagan is not cut out for the farming life and dreams of participating in anti-gravity racing even though his father would like him to continue the family job. While trying to enter the competitions, he runs into Vick Dozz, who has just repossessed a racing pod and is looking for a pilot to earn some extra money before returning it to its owner.

For Reme, this is a unique opportunity to compete in a circuit that is not professional but is still very popular. He has to compete with other human pilots, Ternions, and cyborgs of both species but the greatest dangers could come from ruthless people outside the race tracks.
