Customer Reviews

Good opener for Vor: The Maelstrom, but good sci-fi too!

I enjoyed this book. As an owner and collector of the Vor: The Maelstrom game, it enhanced my gaming experience. As an avid reader of science fiction, however, it also seemed to stand on its own. Having a few concurrently developing plotlines showed good reflection of how the world might react in the Vor setting. Even though FASA is now defunct, I'd recommend this as a good read anyway....
