Synopsis
In The Prototype, former Road & Track editor Sam Mitani weaves the thrill of high-speed action with the suspension of international espionage. Follow the ambitious automotive journalist Stockton Clay, who finds himself tangled in the dangerous plot of a secretive car company called Kamita Motors. What could they want with him?
What starts as his big break to cover a new supercar suddenly spirals into life or death, set against the sun-soaked streets of California, the glamorous French Riviera, and the unpredictable Tokyo underworld.
Clay must navigate a world where the line between innovation and destruction is razor-thin, full of cutting-edge vehicles that mask a sinister conspiracy. Can a magazine writer uncover this high-stakes chess match to learn the truth? To do it, he'll have to risk everything.
