About the book
Kris Chambers is a nobody. A 24-year-old man with a dead-end job and no prospects - and to top it off, a heart condition that forever keeps him on his toes - he spends his life trapped between apathy, self-doubt, and mortal fear.
As he walks down an unfamiliar alleyway, he stumbles upon the lifeless body of a stranger. Unbeknownst to him, this grisly discovery marks the beginning of an entirely new chapter in his life. Upon mysteriously awakening in the hospital, he learns that his heart now functions flawlessly, and he feels… different.
He soon discovers he has superhuman abilities – herculean strength, a marathon-runner’s stamina, and an extreme healing factor – as well as an ever-present assistant: a super intelligent AI named Vega, telling him that his gift is the result of a network of nanomachines that he inherited like a virus from the dead body. And the dead man himself? A traveler from parts unknown, time unknown…
Empowered by his newfound abilities, Kris embarks on a mission to track down the Quiet One, a domestic terrorist wreaking havoc on his city.
In a fight spanning across continents, Kris must fight to learn and establish his true place in the world, as well as uncover the true nature of his otherworldly gift.
Our take
Kris Chambers is a 24-year-old man with a dead-end job, a heart condition, and few prospects until he inherits nanotechnology and an AI assistant. His new abilities pull him into a mission to stop a terrorist while he searches for the truth behind his gift, with a 3.9-star average from more than 1,100 Goodreads ratings. A good pick for readers who like superhero science fiction, advanced technology, AI companions, and reluctant heroes.
