Vecto: Vengeance (Volume 1) Reid Kemper

This is the first "original English-language 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. 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 robot with emotions named Vecto who goes on a revengeful search of a longtime nemesis. But as Vecto's actions turn drastic, will he become a hero or a villain? Inspired by anime, superhero movies, RPG video games, and similar media, this story blends the best of all worlds. The chapters are written as if they were TV episodes. Each chapter can be read in the time it takes to watch a TV episode, and the whole book can be read in the time it takes to watch a three-hour movie. The book is rated 13+ due to violence. A light novel is a short form of writing popular in Japan. These books predominately focus on dialogue and action.
