Alpha Squad – Vecto: Vengeance: A Superhero Light Novel

by Reid Kemper

An obsessed robot, lightning-fast cyborg, armored ex-military commander, sword-wielding teenage thief, sniper/assassin, martial arts master/farmer, and others cross paths in this action-packed story about a sentient robot named Vecto who goes on a vengeful search for a longtime nemesis, Morphaal. But as Vecto's actions turn drastic, will he become a hero or a villain? Who is Vecto? Vecto is not like other machines. He has human emotions and is the antihero leader of the Alpha Squad. His essence is contained in an orb that can create several layers of a shape-shifting force One protecting the orb, a second one surrounding his body, and a third one that can change his appearance. His full-body shields can withstand a nuclear attack and control anything within it but requires carbon to sustain itself. The orb is housed inside a body chest piece, and the body consists of segmented pieces that float inside his shields. With his super abilities, Vecto can be a deadly force--which is why, after his friend and teammate dies, his companions Crysilis and Streamline worry that he'll be consumed by vengeance. Who is Morphaal? He's like a cyborg version of Thanos from Marvel's Infinity War movie, albeit with different motives. This is the first "original English light novel" published by an American company. It was edited by Paul Witcover, who has worked with Del Rey, Tor, Tokyopop, and DC Comics and has written a Nebula-nominated novel. It's sequel, Voyage, can be found on Amazon at amzn.to/1ZJDozY. This novel is inspired by anime, superhero movies, RPG video games, and similar media. It's rated 13+ due to violence. See for yourself why Vengeance has been described as a fast-paced, character-driven book packed with over-the-top action. Buy it today!

Tried it, couldn't get into it. Maybe suitable for younger readers.
