Race. Rank. Profit. Reese Reynolds is a solo racer in the massive opensource AR game, Street Heat; combining the finesse of Parkour with digital dungeon dives. After leveling up and earning some new gear, he finally has what it takes to Ascend to the next rank where he can turn his passion into a real career. When a hot-headed racer, Jive, challenges Reese to a 1v1 for rank points, Reese thinks it’ll be an easy win. But Reese loses when his system glitches out, no thanks to a good-for-nothing cheating Jive, he suspects. With just six weeks to go, Reese has been booted out of the ranks to enter the Ascension Heat. Reese must go against his lone-wolf nature and gather a team to rebuild his rank in time to buy his way into the Ascension race and discover the secret behind Jive’s hacks before they got someone hurt. Ascension racers didn’t race for fun, and cheaters earned more than just a fat lip when they were caught. This is book 1 in the Street Heat series by J.D. Astra, author of the fan favorite Viridian Gate Online: Firebrand series, sci-fantasy cultivation series Bastion Academy, and super-powered Zero.Hero series. PROJECT ON HIATUS.
