Publisher Description

A Thrilling Science Fiction Dystopian Novel You Must Read

"The Game of VORs is gritty, tragic, and very emotional... a suspenseful, coming of age story in a dark world."
-- Readers' Favorite Five Stars

"I would recommend this to any person interested in twisted political discrepancies or learning about different takes on identity and morality."
-- LitPick

"The author creates a believable world, albeit a bit gruesome at times, and delivers the opposite of the typical view of nobility by expertly merging elements of mystery and suspense..."
-- IndieReader

"The story is filled with twists and turns and a surprise ending."
-- International Writers Inspiring Change

"The author did a good job of weaving in the political hierarchy into the story instead of spending the first section of the book describing it in detail as many of these types of novels have done. I very much appreciated this approach."
-- Goodreads Reviewer

"Speaking of reader experience, I can only say that this was a high class read that I enjoyed greatly, and the translation is so skilful that it wasn’t at all clear that it was a translation at all.
I see that other reviewers have compared the book to some modern YA books; personally I found it was most highly comparable to Dune..
In short, the book exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it on its own merit."
-- Goodreads Reviewer

Thriller

I could not put this story down, it was so compelling! I read it through. Fast-paced and action-packed with young Keir, the main protagonist who is captivating. Lots of interesting surprises keep you reading.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Amazing story full of action!

Game of Vors is a great novel that reads like a mix of an action novel with a bit of a nod to the Romanova family. (You know, Anastasia Romanova?) You follow the path of young Kier through his academy trials. You also meet the young "jock type" that you come to immediately despise. Kier's family is royalty with a dark side as Keir discovered upon calling on his father to help fix one of his failures.

Kier is the future Heir of the Vorsmiths, something his elder brothers are furious about. With Kier's failures at the academy - that matter is swept under a rug - and he is shuffled off to the military. You really have to feel for the young kid, who seems like he just wants to have nothing more than a normal life.

This book is full of murder, mystery, a lovers triangle, intrigue, sibling rivalry, conspiracy, terrorism, and a topping of a fairly open slave trade on an icy outpost. It kept me hooked, wondering what the young Vorsmith's next move would be with his slowly growing entourage. (Don't get too attached tho...)

The entire story builds up like an action movie that won't leave you disappointed. This is definetely a recommended read.
