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.

Praise for The Prototype by Sam Mitani.

"This zany book plays with science fiction and thriller tropes, resulting in a tale that is oversized, fun, and fast." - Foreword Reviews

"Combining the balletic combat of John Wick and the jet-propelled exploits of the Fast and the Furious franchise, Mitani succeeds in absorbing readers into a shadowy, futuristic Tokyo where nothing is as it seems." - Blue Ink Review

"Sam Mitani's writing is strong and the author exhibits a gift for plot; the pacing is fast, and the plot structure is brilliantly imagined and executed with unusual skill." - Reader's Favorite

"Mitani nailed it on his first try." - PBS (WFYI Indianapolis)
