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.

A wild ride!
4By Tropigal9Loved the pseudo science in this. I almost believed it was true! A quick fun read well worth your time.Sir Isaac Newton rolled over in his grave

5By sle524I found this book very interesting and quick to get my attention. Once into the story, I was able to figure out what was coming in general but it still had twists and turns. I am a slow reading adult who enjoys history and science so this was right up my alley. That being said, some of the science can be a bit heavy in areas but if you keep with the book it will be explained in more general terms later on in the book. I also read every word so I found a few errors but only in the fact that two words were out of order or copies of words happened, ex: any any, but this did not take away my ability to enjoy this book. I am looking forward to the next one and hope Mr. Walters continues writing.Excellent Read
5By Aubness2003Thought this was a great book!Lifting Story
4By Setra SeafarerCompelling and intriguing concept, change is ugly at this and disrupters often come to a bad end, anyone remember Lord Diesel and his mysterious demise? Gave this book a shot and now I look forward to where this goes. The powers that be don’t like to give away any power and will go to extremes to keep the status quo. Luck, ingenuity and friends make this a good read!Super fun book
5By ZarabidiSo enjoyable to read. Well-written book with substance.Very Interesting Book
5By Moneygal61Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Interesting premise and well written. Highly recommend it!Good story but
2By Ex-pat AmericanI would have given it a better rating except for the swearing which was totally unnecessary. Clean up the language and I would give it a 4.Excellent
5By Jester 2014Very good captivating read I finished it in one day about 3 hours total that’s how good it kept my interest I was driving and read when I stopped to eat and finished at my hotel for the nightLoved It
5By Joshua Mc QWriting reviews isn’t something I do, but when I got to the end of Breaking Gravity there was no doubt in my mind that this book deserves a 5 star review, so here I am writing it. This story addresses the question: ‘how would the world react to a truly groundbreaking discovery’, and takes you on quite a ride while doing it. The book isn’t long, so there isn’t much time for character development, but it makes up for that with a great story. I picked this book up during my lunch hour, and that was a mistake—I didn’t get any more work done until I put it down two hours later after reading the last page (it’s 400(ish) pages, I’m just a quick reader). If your looking for a good book, look no further.
