Australian author Matthew Reilly is undertaking an ambitious new project that launches on April 4, 2004.
Reilly is launching an online serial novel called HOVER CAR RACER that will be available to readers free of charge at the official web site.
There are eight installments, available on the 4th and 20th of each month through July. This is the first time that a major bestselling author is offering a complete novel online --- for free.
"Set in a time a few years from now, HOVER CAR RACER follows the high-octane adventures of 14-year-old Jason Chaser, a gifted young pilot as he takes on the supercharged world of hover car racing --- where races are run at 810 km/h. But Jason is exceedingly young to be a racer, a boy in a man's world. And so, in his trusty car, the Argonaut, he will race against all manner of villains and rivals in all kinds of races at the famed International Race School and (perhaps) in the larger world of pro racing. One thing is for sure, his high-speed escapes and nailbiting finishes will leave you literally clutching your armchair. You have never read anything faster than HOVER CAR RACER!"
The book will be available as a PDF. For more details about this free online serial novel and to access the book, you can visit Hover Car Racer. Readers who log on to the site can sign up for an exclusive newsletter to receive early email updates.
The online novel will be of interest to audiences aged 10 and up.
