His experiments in gravimetric research and the expanding capability of a nascent AI cause Lux to be closely observed by several government agencies. He discovers a way to use magnetic fields for propulsion, but he needs money. Lux and his friend, Prissy, come up with a way to use his father's developing AI to raise money through social media. Lux is trying to get out of high school and into college at age nine. Lux and Prissy take deepfake videos to a whole new level and make a lot of money doing it. The US military and intelligence community is not amused. Review: Great read. Great characters. Great fun. - There are a lot of things to like about Lux. After a summer in which every novel, every movie, seemed to be centered around some former special forces operator who’d been done wrong and was now seeking vengeance against those what done him wrong - yes, I’m looking at you Red Notice & The Gray Man & Target Acquired - it was nice to see a story about someone who is not yet ready to whup ass and take names. I enjoyed having a character like Lux, who at 9 years old is a genius who’s more intelligent and savvy than most adults, but also still has the goofiness and vulnerability that come with being a kid. I enjoyed the interactions between Lux and his dad - a brilliant physicist who’s still trying to understand just how exceptional his son is. And I enjoyed the interactions between Lux and his classmate, Prissy, that helped keep Lux grounded despite his advanced scientific acumen. Even more, I enjoyed the interplay between these various relationships that helped round Lux out as a character - a protagonist you could root for. Even more than the characters, I liked that the story, while complete in itself, is volume one of a 5-volume series - that it set the foundation for an epic series of adventures that will be even better, collectively, than the single novel was. It reminded me of the enjoyment of comics and graphic novels of years gone by before everything became binge-able. It’s nice to have the chance to absorb a good story and look forward to the next, to enjoy the anticipation and sense that there’s more to come. Finally - and probably most of all - I enjoyed the sci-fi elements of the story. At its best, sci fi makes you ask yourself “is that even possible?” “Is this going to be reality for us one day?” It makes you Google “using magnetic fields for propulsion” and then daydream about whether the sci fi story you’re reading today is going to be the science of the near future. The same day I was finishing Lux-1, the CNN headline was “China’s New ‘Sky Train’ Doesn’t Need Power to Levitate on a Magnetic Track” and I thought, “Amazing. Pence nailed the potential magnets have make an exponential leap in travel both on earth and beyond.” Overall, I greatly enjoyed Lux 1 and look forward to The Pod as soon as my son hands it off to me. Review: fun book - This is a fun book, I only rated it at 4 because even though it was a good read and the story was good the editing was just fair, it made reading a little confusing. I will be getting and reading #2 this weekend and #3 when it comes out. Like I said a fun book. ## Images ![LUX-1: Hypersonic: LUX and the New TECH, Book 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QLD8tNBYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read.

Like I said a fun book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a fun read! *by K***R on August 17, 2022* This story pulled me in and kept up way too late finishing it. The writing is such I was able to pass it on to my pre-teen who is currently reading, and loving, the story. The book manages a perfect balance of entertaining an adult while still being accessibly and enjoyable for a kid. Lux is the very intelligent child of two very intelligent adults. Raised by his father, for whom research and work are synonymous with life, Lux’s has become a self-reliant, self-motivated, and confident individual at a tender age. Wrap that around a strong work ethic with brilliant mind, and off we go on an adventure! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/577346091-lux-1-hypersonic-lux-and-the-new-tech-book-1](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/577346091-lux-1-hypersonic-lux-and-the-new-tech-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
