Publisher Description
It was just a hoverboard. Nobody was supposed to die.
Dale Adams has worked hard to leave his troubled past behind for a brighter future at Emory University. But when he makes a discovery that will change humanity forever, avoiding the spotlight becomes the least of his concerns.
Small experiments have attracted big attention. And not all who notice want Dale to be successful. Or even alive.
As Dale's world collapses around him, his fate intertwines with that of a girl he hardly knows. Their only hope for survival is to disappear into Atlanta's seedy underbelly, the very place Dale has tried so hard to leave behind. Time is running out, but if they can survive long enough science will be rewritten by the most unlikely of authors.

Customer Reviews
Unexpected gem. Enjoyed it.
I like taking a chance on authors I’m unfamiliar with. The premise: a university student who accidentally discovers antigravity ends up stirring up powerful clandestine forces who want him and anyone connected (or witness) to the discovery, dead.
Right from the start I was hooked. It was very fast paced adventure. I loved it. Some of the characters could’ve used some extra development, but overall this did not take away from my enjoyment of the story, it simply left me wanting more.
When I was younger, I used to try to imagine all the implications of developing antigravity technology. This story so reminded me of those imaginings.
Overall, a fast page turner. I recommend it.
A Great Start for a Series
Should a great book series and could easily be developed for a TV series
Good try
It had some life but needed a lot more flesh and some continuity
