Review: Editing question.  Otherwise very good SF

As a self-published book, I normally give the author fairly good ratings if the story holds together and keeps my interest.  We, as readers, should encourage this group of authors otherwise we'll be paying $12 to $15 for an e-book. At $.99, this book is a bargain.This story had everything going for it.  Interesting characters, good plot development, a good set of technological premises demonstrating reasonable understanding of quantum mechanics and ballistics, and aside from the absolutely terrible editing, a story that flowed pretty well. Perhaps the ending was a bit clipped, but it wasn't a cliffhanger and the first portion of the next novel was included in this Kindle version.There were many many proofreading/spell-check mistakes in the novel when I read it; however, Andy has stated that he has corrected many of those errors.  I'm not going to go back and check for a newer version, but if he says he's done it, I believe him.I would  put this story up against an early Jack McDevitt novel. Certainly, it could use a little more polish, but it was surprisingly good for an early attempt by the author.  Especially, the tech side of it hung together well even though nanotech provided the Deus ex Machina.Hopefully, Andy got the message and fixed this book.  A promising writing career should not be cut short because of poor editing.
