The Nanite Legacy #2
The Nanite Legacy Book 2
Albert Kuno was never meant to be a hero. In Book One, he was just another Tier 3 space station dropout with a black-market excursion pass and a head full of forgotten dreams. But everything changed when he uncovered a hidden alien artifact—one that bonded to him and altered his life forever.
Now, Albert is in command of the Odyssey Arc, a ship built with technology far beyond anything humanity has ever seen. It didn’t belong to him, but it chose him—and that makes returning to human space impossible. They’d never let him keep it. Maybe he doesn’t want to go back anyway.
With Sync, the AI companion inside his mind, and the Arc itself—half-machine, half-living construct—Albert makes a to leave the familiar behind. To explore the galaxy, not as a soldier or a fugitive, but as something new. Free.
There are no orders. No chain of command. No mission but the one he sets for himself.
Albert is heading into deep space to see what’s out there—one star at a time.

Author apparently doesn’t remember the first book
I enjoyed the first book, it was an interesting story told fairly well. A few glitches and errors, definitely could have used a better and more thorough edit, but I downloaded the second book as soon as I finished the first. And I didn’t even make it through to the second page. The facts of what happened in book one were changed in major ways.
Here’s a hint: if you change major details from one book to the next, go back to the earlier book and change them there as well. Very, very disappointing and I won’t even bother to read further than the second page where the author talks about returning home between Sync’s planet and flight school. I would give this book negative stars if I could, but had to settle for a negative review.

Nope
Wow...needs to be edited. Can you pick a character name and stick with it instead of changing it every other chapter? How about not repeating whole chapters and paragraphs? Had high hopes for this book after reading the first book, but this one fell far short of expectations. The main story could have been condensed to be half as long. Did not really seem to be continuing in the same way as the first book, but went a totally different route. Only thing thing with any references like the first book is at the very end in the last few pages. Overall probably will not read the next in the series.

I don't understand the 4.34 Goodreads rating on this. That generally means a really outstanding book, and I look to those rating to choose what I read.
Maybe it's the e book version, but both the first and second Nanite Legacy books are so poorly edited that they are almost unreadable. Aside from the incorrect grammar and spelling, the significant and major errors actually affect the plot line.
3 (of many) examples:
- on numerous occasions, names are changed on established characters, sometimes new names, and sometimes names are switched between characters. Sometimes on the same page! Really distracting.
- the prologue in the second book gives an incorrect timeline of the events from the first book, which subtly changed the actual plot! Didn't they read their own book?
- on many occasions, plot events were repeated, meaning something was described, like the ship landing, only to be repeated 4 pages later, AFTER the characters had disembarked. It wasn't like the text was repeated verbatim, it was like it had been rewritten and the original was never deleted.
This was the absolute worst editing I've ever experienced, or maybe it was a failed attempt at having it done by AI. Regardless, it's so bad that I recommend not reading these books, and I've never recommended that before.

The story is interesting and the characters are likable and have depth. For the most part I enjoyed this book.
Unfortunately, this second book ignores that the first one left off after Albert, Arc, and Sync helped a first inhabited planet they found and claims the world they visit here as the first. Then by chapter 12 the names of the mother and girl child are changed. I’m having a problem with continuity in this book.
Chapter 13 and 14 are the same chapter, the latter with edits, “A day and a half later, Thalen…” Then the story continues until the dialogue picks up and changes. It’s like the author rewrote chapter 13 as chapter 14 and forgot to delete the original.
In chapter 20, the daughter, Saila, gets her name back, but not the mother.
Chapter 22 states there is debris in the skies. But upon arrival, Arc determines that there is no evidence that the planet ever rose into the skies, let alone orbit!
I found the sleep phase out of character and disappointing. The rest was a nice touch.

Writer forgot their own story
I read Book One and immediately moved on to Book Two. The beginning recapping the previous book was completely wrong. The setting of this book is only the THIRD world he has set foot on, the first being the planet where he picked up the intelligent nanites. The second world was after dropping off the Admiral he helped another alien woman with her revolution in her planet. Therefore, this planet is the third.
He has never been nor is he from Earth. He is from a Tier 3 space station. You wrote the first book, how could you forget. Furthermore, the inconsistency in plot, characters in scenes, and repetitive chapters with only slight changes in flow tell me this is either AI or self published.
The first book was okay, except for calling the Admiral by a different name in the final part of her story with our protagonist, but magically correcting her name in front of the tribunal. Either fire your AI generator, your editor, or slow down and proofread your story. Decent concept, poorly executed.

Plus: The premise and story hold your interest. Many of the punctuation issues from the first book were corrected.
Minus: You would be hard pressed to recognize the first book from the prologue, which purports to be a summary of the first book in the guise of reflections by the MC. Some of the story changed chronologically and some events were deleted wholesale. Events that were retained were changed to tell a different origin story. These issues indicate the most distracting thing about both books so far, the lack of consistent continuity.
Conclusion: While the story is interesting, the lack of little to no evidence of an editor in the writing process gives rise to way too many distractions for the reader. This second book, outside of dismissing much of the first book, is an improvement.

DNF at 22%.
I read book one and it's like the author didn't read or write book one when you get to this book. There are so many continuity errors. The synopsis at the start of this book directly disagrees with the tone and history of book one. Multiple cases of the main character saying "I've never done this before." where it was a major element at the end of book one.
The more I read the more I questioned if it was (poorly) AI generated.
This is the second book I have read by this author and I am unlikely to try a third any time soon.

Was this book edited at all?
I read the first book. It was very good. This book is almost unreadable. The story is interesting. No complaints there. The characters are likable. However, there are repeated paragraphs. 2 paragraphs will give the same information written in different ways. It’s like the author wrote 2 versions and then didn’t edit to the best one. The names of the aliens are really messed up. The daughter and mother’s names seem to change every couple of pages. Edit. Edit. Edit.

Interesting Story
I've read book one and two now, and I have enjoyed this story....but it has some serious problems. There are multiple cases of whole paragraphs being repeated or rephrased which does get annoying. Book one and book two definitely don't like up with what happened in book one. It's like the author wrote the first book got amnesia recovered part of his memories then tried writing book two. Hopefully this doesn't continue into book three.

Didn’t finish. The first book was good! Not sure what happened to this one. The author needs to edit this, it feels like a second draft not a final version. It’s like the end of the first book didn’t happen. This is now the first new planet and first aliens. thoughts and paragraphs repeating like 2 pages apart. People responding to comments that weren’t said. Things that were determined previously now having different rules. The book might be interesting if I could stand reading it.

The first book was an easy read in some respects (many typos and duplications of text). Far fetched and simplistically idealistic. This second book is awful and should be avoided. I was reporting content errors endlessly and after reading.chapter 13 was appalled that chapter 14 was 90% duplicate of chapter 13 with a couple of paragraphs of additional text in the middle
It is obvious these books aren't proof read. I gave up reading this and.will avoid this author in future

Great idea killed by bad editing
I love the permission but the repeated paragraphs, the lack of continuity killed it. I struggled to get through 20 chapters as the story backtracked and jumped.
First book was tolerable, but had similar issue. Overall feels like a bad AI short turned into a book.

Having finished book 2, I started book 3. Book 2 was good. Book 3 is disappointing. The manufacture of crisis is obvious and pointless in book 3. Book 2 was ta good read. In book 3 I can't get past the 3rd chapter. The author is too obviously creating un-necessary problems so they can be solved. Takes the joy out of the read.

Confusing
I enjoyed the first book in the series immensely. The second book wasn't too bad but there were too many inconsistencies. It's as if the first book never happened. Much of what is stated in this book refutes the events of the first book.

Interesting and unique story but…
It is a good story. However, there are a lot of inconsistencies, conflicting statements, and odd repetitive statements. I liked the first book. This one, not so much.

Did the author even read the book before publishing?

Slice of life
Pretty sure this was supposed to be the rough draft of a new book, not the second book in a series.

needs edit
This story needs serious edits. Facts do not line up with first book. Also language at the beginning is very flowery. Doesn’t seem like same writer.

Awesome
One of the best stories I've ever read- looking forward to book 3 but I really missed the characters who grew old and died- Albert out lived them

Enjoyable, but needs editing
Good tale, but so many continuity errors. Names change regularly, and the second book has disconnect with the first. Please get an editor.
