Killer Air (Mud, Blood and Motocross) Paperback – October 31, 2013

I have been a high school English teacher for 11 years now, so after I spend a good chunk of every day teaching students about the classics and trying to get them interested, I like to come home and read something fun and addictive.As anyone who has a busy life knows, if a book is not addictive you are not going to actually read it. With Killer Air this was not a problem at all. I was regularly the only person awake in my house at the end of the day, reading to find out what would happen to Nick and his community.Aside from the mystery and racing, Nick and his community are the other reasons that I think this book grabbed my attention so much. Nick lives in West Central Colorado, and I feel like I've visited this town, heck I feel like my extended family lives in this town.I like it when books have some kind of familiar aspect to them and even though it is a mystery series, Killer Air is written very realistically. The problems, while extreme, are happening to people in the US right now, and Nick struggles to make the kinds of decisions that any curious, concerned person would if they found themselves in a similar situation.Mick Wade did a good job of making the background feel very contemporary, struggling small town, foreclosed houses, people coming home from Afghanistan, without making the book as depressing as sometimes these situations can be. Instead the book is full of characters that are doing what they can for their families and doing what they love to keep their sanity.When I picked up the first book in the series "Mud, Blood, and Motorcross" I was concerned that since I had never ridden Motorcross that I would not be able to get into the story. However, it only takes reading a few pages to realize that Mick Wade makes Motorcross as accessible and understandable as any sport and you end up excited about it because you like Nick, the main character, and he's excited.If you like a good mystery and/or a realistic adventure and/or addictive reading and/or Motorcross and/or you have friends who like to ride: do yourself a favor and read this series!Nervous about commitment? Who isn't? Spend $5 on the 1st book in the series: Mud, Blood, and Motorcross (cheaper than most fast food, Dunkin', or fancier coffee orders) predict you won't be sorry. You will race through it and 2 books later you will be here writing your own review of the excellent Killer Air.

It was so action packed and just do thrill seeking and it was amazing. I personally loved this book and I also ride a crf150r.

This by far is the best series of books ever!! One reason is because my name is Nick and i ride dirtbike just like the main character! The books are just great!

This installment to the Mud, Blood and Motocross series was so good, I just could not put it down and did not see the ending coming. Too many books, especially in series, follow the same formula and feel like the author is only changing the details of a story. This mystery however was surprising and riveting till the last page.
