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.

❝ ...grabs you by the throat early on and doesn't let go! ❞
- Al Letson, Host of Reveal on NPR

★★★★★ BRILLIANT! Grab it now before everyone else it talking about it!
This is a ride and a half. Perfectly paced. Written so well that you lose yourself in the story. Couldn't fault it. I HIGHLY recommend this book. This is not just a good book, but a brilliantly executed concept. A new author to watch.
- Dedicated Book Lover, Amazon Review

★★★★★ My first Great read of 2017!
This is the first review I have ever written for any book. I go through SF at a 2 or 3 book clip per week, but this was a nonstop ride from start to finish (7 hours). Would love to get a follow-up with the "Gravity" concept in space. Well done Mr. Walters!
- Rebroscoe, Amazon Review

★★★★★ I may have found a new favorite author!
i am an unusual reader, I have no patience abut I don't usually read a book at once...I DID this one. I couldn't put it down.
- Don Avant, Amazon Review

★★★★★ Great story, smooth writing
Wow what a ride from orbiting coke cans to Hong Kong financing. What a great read. Solid writing with characters that make things happen.
- Amazon Customer, Amazon Review

★★★★★ Fun, fun, fun!
Great read, well written; loved the humor; superb entertainment; fascinated by the mind that produced this; left me wanting more (a good thing)! It's always fun to discover new authors and I'm definitely looking forward to his next book.
- Susan DeG, Amazon Review

★★★★★ OK, where's the 10 star button?
This is "Martian" quality writing. Mr. Walters' writing skills let you slide into the narrative on page one while he spins a great tale that draws you in. Be sure not to read it until you can finish it; you really can't put it down. -- great fun!
- Charles Beckett, Amazon Review

★★★★★ Get it and read it!
You won't be disappointed.
- CarlosRon, Amazon Review

"I didn't want to stop reading!!" "A hugely entertaining book!"

L'autore

Yes, Mitty Walters is a pen name. It's a tribute to the classic, not the recent. When I read that story, I was a homeless teenager who was never sure where he would be sleeping the next night. I had an instant connection with Walter Mitty. But I always felt like his dark reflection. Walter's wild fantasy life helped him to escape his boring reality. But my fantasy was just to have a boring reality. Too bleak? Fine. The truth is I joined the Merchant Marines when I was fifteen. When they asked for ID, I gave them my dead cousin's birth certificate. Next thing I knew I was on a bus headed to Savannah. When I hopped my first freighter, my heart was filled with all kind of romantic notions. But three straight days of puking cajoled me back to reality. I didn't set foot on land for another four months. The Merchant Marine is not some mysterious gateway to adventure for young lads. It's just work, sweat, and misery. I didn't get marooned on any island, didn't rescue any damsels in distress. I just toiled away pointlessly. The most adventure I had was getting arrested in Thailand with a bunch of drunken idiots that I didn't even know. I learned to speak a little Cantonese while I was in there, though. I wasted away for a eighteen months, until the riots began. Crap. Too bleak again? Look. You can be honest. You don't care who I am. You just want to go on wild ride. I'm cool with that. Let's do dis, yo. Just pick up the book and let's bounce.

Al Letson is a celebrated poet, an acclaimed playwright, and the former host of State of the Re:Union, a nationally syndicated radio program on NPR. Currently Letson is the host of Reveal, a Peabody Award winning investigative news program on NPR.

What if Marty McFly’s hoverboard was possible?

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 1 agosto 2023

Acquisto verificato

Such an intriguing, fun and thought provoking book! Dale is a student at Emory who accidentally discovers how to make a hover board just by using too much solder with a multimeter. But what he’s really doing is harnessing unlimited, free energy. He presents his idea to a group of VC investors as part of a senior class project. And now lots of factions are after him for his idea and some of them want him dead pronto.

I loved this book and can’t wait to read the next one in the series! It’s a fast and easy read. One thing I really loved was the ending and the website and video Dale provided. So fun! I highly recommend this book!

Great story of the old-fashioned "what if" variety

Recensito in Canada il 5 settembre 2019

Acquisto verificato

The young protagonist accidentally discovers a new scientific principle that will revolutionize the world. Those who hear about it wasn't too kill him or control him. With the help of his friends he searches for a way to save his life, profit, and let other people benefit. I love the fact that the book links to a website with a video demonstrating the discovery. The story adds a level of realism by using unconventional characters.

Most Interesting idea for a book I’ve read in a long while 5*****

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 9 giugno 2019

Acquisto verificato

You heard about Hoverboards before, but what happens when a nearly graduated high school student accidentally discovers the secret to setting the world free?

This book is great! I won’t say it’s perfect, but just the ideology and the chain of events were a page turner.

If I was to compare to a film, it would be the Keanu Reaves Movie ‘Chain Reaction’, but this story has more pull due to the narrative.

I would love to see this done as a movie - sure the pull of Back to the Future Hoverboard™️ Pulled me in, but the whole plot from discovery to conclusion kept me reading.

A fantastic read, especially if you like down to Earth sci-fi thrillers

Belle soirée en perspective : 3.5 étoiles pour cette histoire bien rythmée et distrayante

Recensito in Francia il 13 dicembre 2016

Acquisto verificato

Faire un commentaire sans trop dévoiler l'histoire ! juste dire que j'ai passé une belle soirée en compagnie de Dale sans lâcher le fil de son aventure (ce qui est plutôt bon signe)
Dale est l'auteur d'une découverte (fortuite) qui risque fort de chambouler, transformer, la société telle que nous la connaissons
C'est donc un étudiant méritant (bien entendu, orphelin et pauvre) attachant, sympa, doté d'humour, costaud, un brin naïf Il correspond au modèle dont rêve un peu tous les ados ou post ados
Une bonne dose d'actions, pimentée d'humour et d'auto dérision, des belles valeurs défendues (liberté amitié respect etc) et comme toujours les méchants sont méchants et cupides capables du pire
Le tout est bien servi par une écriture fluide et plaisante.
J'enlève une étoile malgré cette très bonne impression de lecture parce que je pense que ce livre s'adresse plus à un jeune public J'aurais préféré quant à moi (vieux lecteur) un peu moins de morts (mais c'est l'Amérique et non la France !!! ) et un peu plus de réflexion sur l'impact et les conséquences que La Découverte pourra avoir sur nos sociétés ...
A mon avis, cela ferait un très bon film d'actions teinté de SF (à la sauce Retour vers le futur même si cela n'a rien à voir avec le voyage dans le temps...)
