2.0 out of 5 stars VOR: Island of Power, December 24, 2008

This book was so-so at best.

Most of the novels failed to stick to the VOR setting they were portrayed in. This novel accomplished that which makes it better than every other VOR novel than the Playback War in my opinion. Though it gave good depictions of a setting in the Vor: The Maelstrom it lacked a compelling plot. This novel isn't a mystery, not a romance, no great tales of heroism, camaraderie, or anything else. The whole story is summed up in a group of people race against undead aliens to the center of a mysterious island then race off before it vanishes, The End.
