The Vector MCM 9780978152765 Books

Overall this is a good book that could just use a little work. The plot specifically is basically good but I found the set up lacking. Important details aren't given early enough, especially concerning the "Healers". Most of the details do eventually come up, but I spent a substantial portion of the book trying to piece things together and figure out what was going on. Perhaps that was the author's goal, but it detracted from the story.

The editing for grammar and spelling was fine but the formatting needs work. Approximately the last 17% of the book was repeat chapters that need to be deleted. (Perhaps this has been fixed since I downloaded it?)

A really scary twist on writing viruses - not for computers, but for humans! Couldn't put it down for the last hour 'cause I had to see how it finished. Very good story!
I got this with a totally different storyline in mind.

Not a bad story at all. Just a little...fragmented, I guess is the word I'm looking for.

Just too many loose ends left dangling throughout the book.

Good for a 1-read book but I doubt I'll read it again.
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.

The story follows three plot lines Eva, who is searching for her mother in Prague; Carey, an office worker reluctantly involved in the politics behind vaccines for viruses; and the mysterious Healer who is hunting down the original hosts of the viruses, called the `vectors'.

Having these three different plot lines really helps the reader sink into this post-apocalyptic world and understand the situation from all perspectives. Eva is on the streets, at risk of being infected herself, and sees the gritty reality of death. Carey is involved in the office politics, giving a sense that these epidemics are much more calculated and sinister than expected. And the Healer sees everything from an outsider perspective, an objective executioner of sorts.

The setting is well-planned, and incredibly realistic. As for the writing style of the narrative, MCM is a professional author and it shows, even in the little details. I particularly like how he uses dialogue and lexical choices to subtly convey character accents.

If I had to complain about anything, I'd say the prologue is the weakest part of the story. The staccato sentences struck me as odd, as did the use of `it' to refer to the Healer.

Overall, an exciting and thrilling read. If you're an adrenaline-junkie with a fondness for sci-fi, this is the story for you.
Excellent story with a good number of surprises and interesting characters. Kept me wanting to read more the whole time.
Reading Vector was a chore, I forced myself through every page wondering what the point was. I was so grateful when it ended and I could move on.
The best I can explain this book was like trying to watch a TV program but you can't see the video, you only hear the sound. There is no explanation or history into the Healers, it is played out in some virus ridden world in Europe. Over half the book is about the main character getting molested by a old boyfriend in her mind, you have to put up with that during most of the important parts of the book. If you want to get depressed this is the book for you!
I normally love this genre but this story didn't do much for me. I was actually glad when I finished and could move on to something else.

Don't get me wrong. It wasn't horrible but I didn't think the plot was very good.
Vector is a great, character driven novel. It is set in a plague ridden Europe, not to far in the future. The main characters (there are a few of them) try to survive and do what they think is right, only occasionally succeeding. I loved the writing style and the future Europe is very believable, with realistic technology. The ending was poetic, but a bit of a mixed bag, it does not end the way you expect it to. Although I gave it four stars, for that price I would recommend it to anyone.
Overall this is a good book that could just use a little work. The plot specifically is basically good but I found the set up lacking. Important details aren't given early enough, especially concerning the "Healers". Most of the details do eventually come up, but I spent a substantial portion of the book trying to piece things together and figure out what was going on.
