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.

After his spaceship is attacked and destroyed by an enemy armada, he finds himself in a situation he never could have imagined.

During the test flight of a prototype faster-than-light craft, Lt. Commander Ky is flung into an ancient past that never existed. Rome has fallen, defeated by the mighty Carthaginian Empire, its survivors chased off the continent and onto what had been the remote province of Britannia. Hounded by the Carthaginians bent on conquering the known world, Rome is on the verge of destruction. Stranded and alone, except for a tactical AI implanted in his head, Ky has lost everything and must find a way to live in a world different than anything he's ever known.

Captain Arturo Sanders was having a bad day. First the routine destruction of some ancient automatic defense batteries became a disaster, when his ship’s screens failed, and he had no choice to abandon ship. Then he had to rescue two left behind crew people, which meant he missed the main shuttle evacuation leaving him and his two companions in a shuttle on their own at the rear.

She wants to improve the plight of women on that world - where they‘re treated as if they're property. It’s a world at about the technological level of our late 1800s. But she can find gold there in the same locations that history tells her they found it on Earth.

Can she leverage her abilities to advance their technology and challenge those deep-seated gender biases, or will the weight of their traditions prove insurmountable? And, can she stop the guy who attacked her before he hurts other women?

But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I'd accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!

Captain Arturo Sanders was having a bad day.

Then he had to rescue two left behind crew people, which meant he missed the main shuttle evacuation leaving him and his two companions in a shuttle on their own at the rear.

Miles “Shrug” Lindstrom received a quest years ago. He was the only person who could see the window, and in addition to the quest, he could also see a countdown to the end of the world. Part of him was hoping that he was just insane and had been hallucinating when he first started seeing the window. Then again, if the quest was just his imagination, he was going to be massively in debt with a rental full of useless junk. But when the countdown finally stops, what happens is nothing like he could have imagined.

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.

The story is really good, though dry.
The only issue I have with the audible recording is a mistake in chapter 18. The last handful of minutes in chapter 18 is the beginning of chapter 18. Just annoying to fast forward through.

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.
