About this listen

An engineer finds himself in an alternate reality, Cornwall, in the year 715 A.D. He awakens in the body of a young Baron.

A retired Lieutenant General, former head of the Army Corp of Engineers, lies dying at the age of ninety-two. Leading a full life, he is a decorated veteran of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.

After a long illness, he lies dying. His last thought is, "What a waste of such wonderful knowledge."

As he fades to black, the fun begins. He is to build a modern civilization without being burned as a witch!

The series continues with the Barony of Owen-nap being attacked from all sides.

Chapter 18 does not match book

Seems like Chapter 18 at 50 seconds in switches back to Chapter 16 6 minutes in. After that the audio book seems all over the place. Chapter 19 has the start of chapter 18, and chapter 20 is halfway through chapter 18 in the book. This all can make it very jarring when listening to. Besides that issue, the story is pretty good.

I hope they will be able to fix this. When this is fixed I'll update this review.

Unsure what's up with the other reviews. this good

While there is a bug and it repeats a portion of one of the chapters it's easy to just hit the Skip and go to the next section.
Very much looking forward to the next book I really like Ed Nelson work.

There is a repeat chapter. 18

A great little series on isekai empire building, but the repeat chapter is a bit jarring.

could be better

I love the idea for the story but the characters need more meat on them. you leave so much out that could send this story up a few notches.

Not worth the time

No story, just an endless recitation of primitive production methods.
The author is probably a good engineer but a horrible story teller.
