Sliding Reality: Builders Legacy Book 2 Paperback – 19 Jan. 2023

As always, Chatfield’s stories are well thought out, full of adventure and wild fights, but damn, I loved this one! Seriously, if you’re at all on the fence? Don’t be. Buy it now!

Chatfield has done a great job at building up a lore and scope that rivals Peter f Hamilton books. I'm not as invested in the in as i would like but the series does a lot of things right despite that.

TWarning slight spoilers The author crammed a hell of a lot into book 2 , I don't know if there are more books to come but there was so much more to the world building in book one ,how are the Federation ,Sol and the independent systems going to react to a new powerful nation with a technological advantage , the coalition seem to be the most reasonable other power and made good allies but will that continue what will Luke,Dana,Foster and everybody at Legion do now they have kicked ass ,normality can be hard , I found the constant action exhausting at times and found myself skim reading as we jumped from one fight right into the next , if there is a third book I'll definitely read it and hopefully it'll concentrate on the world building and the consequences of some of Brad and Stuarts essential actions.

Solid second book in the series. I do not like the premise much,but Mr Chatfield has skills to make it interesting and fun. Thou as always with his books it have a galloping scope of things problem.

The first book in the series had an interesting premise and a good storyline. Unfortunately, the author clearly struggled to see how to develop things further as, after a good first 1/3 of this book, which continues the interesting challenges of the first book, this book becomes 1/2 a book worth of poorly described close quarter battles (in which nothing of any real note happens) and then the last 1/6 of an awful, unconnected-to-anything-previous deus ex machina (which then gets resolved without any real interest anyway). Very little character development or emotional interest (other than a funeral scene for a minor character that was very well put together and demonstrated that the writer can be quite good when he sets his mind to it) put this squarely in the 'what a shame' camp.
