THE VECTOR

A fast-paced thriller for adrenaline junkies

Editor: A. M. Harte

There’s very little I can say about The Vector that hasn’t been said before.

It’s action-packed, fast-paced, thrilling and occasionally stomach-turning. Definitely not for the squeamish; being a little iffy about viruses myself, there were several moments where I felt faintly sick. The story’s so good, though, that I ploughed on.
