Publisher's Summary

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 while uncovering the true nature of his otherworldly gift.

Kinda frustrating

Probably the dumbest MC I’ve ever came across. Before having the nanos, it was like: ewwr! I am a loser and cannot do anything because I have a heart condition! Life is so miserable! (A total wiener). After getting the nanos based on pure luck, it was like: I’m a superman! I feel so good! Now I have to fight crime, even war against dictatorship in another country! Let’s just look up the news and see what troubles I can get myself into! Instead of figuring out what exactly he could do with his new found abilities, the first thing he could think of was to recklessly fight crime without any proper planning, training, and common sense considerations. What do you think when you push a bomber terrorist into a corner? Of course he is gonna blow himself up! Anyone who watches some tv shows or movies should think of that! After making a mess, he didn’t reflect, didn’t stop, but decided to fight bigger war in Middle East! OMFG! The sheer arrogance and self-righteousness was out of this world! And the dullest AI just went along and encouraged him… The character arc of the MC was shallow to say the least. He was good at nothing, and didn’t grow smarter after stupid mistakes. I understand this could be true to what happens if a common folk gets superpowers, but I mean, come on! With a sifi premises like this, it was just frustrating to listen! We need Skippy the Magnificent to slap some senses into this MC who is suffering from messiah complex. Sorry! Not a keeper for this one…
