The Survivalist #11
Engineering Home: Survivalist Series, Book 11
It’s been over a year since
The Day
.
Morgan and his companions have fought to stay alive and he finally managed to get to his parents and bring them back. Their situation is getting better every day, but there are still challenges ahead of them.
With a desire to return to a normal life on everyone’s mind, the group starts taking steps to do just that. Thinking bigger they tackle some major projects that will provide valuable resources. However, there are others out there making plans for them as well.
While these new plans will provide them with a lot of supplies and the ability to be resupplied on a regular schedule, it also comes with oversight; something Sarge and Morgan are not going to like. But the benefits far outweigh the problems...or do they?
They still face many challenges—like Fred’s pregnancy—that are still potential disasters. There is little room for error in their world. But hard work, determination, and the bond that holds the group together have enabled them to make it this far. But will it be enough?

This is my absolute favorite post apocalyptic series. We've waited a while for this one and as usual it was fantastic. I'm giving it 4 stars because it really needed to be proofread better. There were so many typos. Also the part with the cats disturbed me and I'm pretty sure a character came back to life. We were left with some cliffhangers so I hope the next book comes fast.

Good.... BUT!
A. American' latest book is a good read with good well-fleshed characters and a good plot. BUT: it was not professionally edited or proof-read. Fred=Fed; Janet=Janice, and who is Ashley? (Little Bit--I think!?) And what, pray, is a giger counter? Just some examples. There were also organizational issues. To wit, no transitions leaving the reader floundering. But the worst was the cliff-hanger ending. Actually, the book ended in mid-paragraph with utterly no warning. I hate cliff hangers, but this one is the worst one I've ever seen. Shame on the author!

The awakening
I can't believe this series of books captivated my imagination so much. Couldn't wait to read the very next page. Disappointed when the book ended. I loved the way everyone in the community became family and accepted responsibility for themselves and the group. Morgan is an exceptional person. I hope if needed we all find this kind of group because I feel this world situation looks the same to me. Thanks for all the instruction included.

This book was a significant departure from previous books. In both quality of content and the audiobook narration. Without having spoilers, they resurrected several long dead characters. The temperament of several of the characters also changed significantly. Mel, for instance, went from a timid lady who never left the house to someone demanding to be in direct ground combat. Sarge changed from a lovable grump to just being an ornery old man. These are just a few of the significant plot departures. On the narration side, it seemed like the narrator didn’t have his heart in it because several characters didn’t have the quality voices of the past books.
It seems more likely than not that the author paid a ghost writer to just knock this book out. This was just a disappointing book all around and I could not wait for it to be over so I can move on to something better. Hopefully the next book is written with more effort.

I’ve read all of A. American’s Home books and this one seemed hastily written. The vibrant and rich characters were still very entertaining but more editing could’ve been done. Lots of words missing or misspelled. The entire book is about normal life in the new community that they’ve created and new life coming into the world. A bit slow in the beginning, it starts to pick up the pace about 75% of the way through and give us the thrill us readers are used to. A good read but not my favorite in the series.

I’m a big fan of the series and love the characters, but this was obviously rushed to publication. The typos, missed words, spelling errors, etc. just got worse and worse throughout. Chapters have odd breaks and the voice is inconsistent. Please value your loyal readers enough to take the time to edit. Hell, send it to me and I’ll edit it! I was going to buy the hard copy to go with books 1-10 that I already have, but now I think I’ll wait a bit to see if you publish edits first.

Definitely leaves you hanging at the end. Some major editor issues in this book.
Overall, love the series and the community continues its strides back to "normal". Babies being born, power returns, crops being harvested all have things pointing in the right direction.

This is book 11 in the series, with at least one more to come since this one is a typical cliff hanger at the end (spoiler alert). While the previous 10 have been pretty good, several technical aspects have become problematic as the series progresses. The main one at this point involves re-establishing a local electrical power grid, since that is such a major component of modern life. There is no way that a natural gas pipe line would remain operational, much less sourced on the west coast, under the circumstances described. Compressor stations along the line would not be manned or maintained, for example. Therefore, the more or less plausible juice plant power station would not have a fuel source. Secondarily, as more and more load is added, including a/c during the brutal Florida summers, a small industrial power plant would likely be overloaded. Lacking modern 220/110 vac grid power, life in Morgans's little community would be much more basic and very different. Availability of thousands of abandoned home solar PV systems plus many large commercial solar power installations could have been a viable and much more plausible alternative scenario. The local defense and military operations aspects are plausible, with SUT (small unit tactics) well thought out. Lot's of typos however, so tolerance for that is recommended.

I have also read the previous 10 books and was surprised after 4 years to see a new one had come out. One would think that after writing so many books, editing and proofreading would become important to the author, but there was certainly a mish-mash of errors throughout the story. Disappointing that the author can't keep up with who has already been killed off in his series!
It would be nice if there was a bit of reality and struggle for this community instead of having everything handed to them and if they can't get it, that is where Sarge's bunch comes in so the "military" can conveniently "drop" whatever they are needing, food, medicine etc! I imagine in real life rebuilding an entire community would not be so simple.
Regardless if another book comes out I will read it, I'm in for the long haul with this series.

cliffhanger
I have enjoyed this series but this one not so much. There was too much talk about parts for machinery & it always seemed too easy to find what was needed. Also I hate cliffhangers that don’t tell you they are before you buy them. This was a really bad cliffhanger.

It is so frustrating to me to be following a series 11 books in and have a storyline with so many inconsistencies with events that have happened as well as discrepancies with passage of time.
One example is when Thad was excited when the calf was born because they would have milk, butter, and be able to even make ice cream. Mary asked him how as if Ms. Kay hadn't already made ice cream for the entire group in an earlier book.
When Eric finally asked Fred to marry him, several weeks or months had passed since he acquired the ring as Morgan commented about how long he held on to it. Fred said she was only 5-6 weeks pregnant when he asked her and then they only needed a few weeks to plan the wedding. Assuming a few week passed since the wedding to the time Morgan picked up his dad and the fact that book 11 picks up on day two of his dad being there and the storyline hitting the one year mark (as mentioned several times in this book) how can Fred have her babies by the end of the book? Let's not forget the time that passed since "the day" for Jess to walk home, be home for a bit, arrive at the FEMA camp and meet Fred, work at the camp and be imprisoned for several weeks before arriving at Morgan's while Eric recovers from his wound until Fred and Eric finally start their romantic relationship. The passage of time to this point plus the time elapsed until they get pregnant, married, and have the babies cannot fit in just after the one year mark.
Aaron mentions to Morgan that the Japanese DHS officer (Neogata) has it out for the Sheriff and the army guy...isn't he dead and no one questioned it or even brought it up in their conversation? Also, in book 8 Sarge kills Tabor with his own hands yet Tabor is in charge of the DHS group again. Can we come up with a different threat besides dealing with the DHS for a third time? (ETA: This is answered in book 12.)
Mike and Ted bring Crystal and Janet to the neighborhood for dinner one day but later on Crystal says she's never been to the neighborhood and would like to see it before deciding to move there.
Mel decides to all of a sudden be a "bad bitch" and wants to use curse words all of the time. Not to mention that everyone in the group seems to exponentially increase the amount of foul language they use.
These are just a few of the inconsistencies I caught, it almost feels as if this book is penned by a different author. I'm starting book 12 just because I've invested so much time in the series. 3/5 for this one.

11 books in and still keen to read more.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I have enjoyed the whole series. The action is great and the relationships amongst the survivors are genuinely warm, friendly and caring.The heroes, Sarge and the sheriff, are like real life people, thrust into a difficult and dangerous life. Great and believable scenarios involving survival and hope. Two negatives I feel I must mention. Sarge's banter with his subordinates became a little tedious and overdone. Also, the number of missed words, parenthasis and gramatical errors, perhaps 50 or 60, caused me to go back and reread the sentence/paragraph. I still, however, rate this book 9/10. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Overall a good book.
however have to admit *spoiler here* Very disappointed in this one compared to the previous.
I know engineering home was the title, and getting thing back in shape and rebuilt was 1/2 of the book, but the other half was the build up for a battle.
Hope the next book is label 11.2, because this one didn't feel finished.
Not to mention all the other things mentioned by others.
Almost like a new Author picked it up to make the current book and didn't completely read all the previous ones.
Before I buy/read the next one .. I may just flip to the last few pages to see if its the same way.. if so ill leave it on the shelf.

The editing was either very poor or there were problems in the electronic transmission. There were many grammatical and spelling errors, misuse of words and entirely too much profanity.
The worst problem I had with the book was the ending or lack thereof. It stopped in mid sentence and I spent 2 hours looking for the rest of the download. I have read everything this writer ever wrote and I am extremely disappointed with this one. I might read the sequel (if there is one) to figure out how it ends.

A little sad we didnt get to hear the big battle scene yet. Nevertheless, there were many parts in the book that had me going online and looking up how to do things or how certain things work. With this book essentially being the story leading up to the next big chain of events it was necessary, just dont expect the grand symposium of carnage and destruction. Not yet at least. The title is actually pretty accurate. Not even complaining, just giving a heads up.

Out doing himself, again
I absolutely love this author, series, and book. I wish I could read it before it comes out because there are a few typos and using wrong characters in places and facts from previous books that were incorrect in this book. All in all, I think this is a must-read!

I finished book 11 in A. American's series, "Engineering Home" (2022). This book is different from the others that I've reviewed from this author in that I'd never read it before. This book is the same thickness as most of the others in the series but the type is noticeably smaller, resulting in a book that is significantly longer. There is a 4 year gap in the release of the previous book in this series and this one and it kind of shows in many ways in the form of slightly differing style as well as some continuity errors. For example, the main characters get their hands on a Stryker M1128 MGS and use it to good effect in the previous books. In this book there is reference to "the Bradley" (which the characters never even encounter, much less acquire) but since the vehicle in question is only referred to, not used, the mistake is almost irrelevant. The grammar errors are back with this book... and they brought reinforcements! There is weirdness like conversations where a line of dialogue is obviously missing and descriptions of action with lack of paragraph breaks that are very distracting. A. American needs an editor! This is in addition to previous editions where there are spelling errors, misuse of punctuation, and homophones.
This story is longer than most in the series and it feels like it was used to tie up the loose ends in the story line rather than introduce many new concepts. This is somewhat good in that there was a lot going on that wasn't wrapped up but also unsatisfying in that little happens. There are also a lot of new characters introduced and remembering who they all are is challenging. The end is somewhat awkward, ending in the middle of a situation rather than the classic trope of ending with the conclusion of a situation but leaving the consequences of that situation to be determined in the sequel.
All of this is not to say that the read isn't entertaining but rather that there are errors that didn't need to be. I'm going to continue to read the series and enjoy the story and I don't believe I'll be let down by future releases.

The original "Going Home" was one of the early books in the PA genre and I enjoyed it and the subsequent books, so was happy to see a new one come out. However, this was rather disappointing. While I generally enjoy some of the details of clever ways to survive and improve life, but some of the details here were too detailed and became tedious filler. I cheer for ingenuity but these guys were suspiciously successful at every endeavor and it seems like some things to get back to better tech would simply not be possible. They have endless fuel and other supplies (though I would be fine with all of that coffee). I've been critical of Mel in the past as I felt she was way too whiny and self-centered, but in this book, she was suddenly Mrs Rambo and all gung-ho to kill the bad guys. Also I do not remember that Bobbie was Mel's aunt; were they not just good friends and neighbors? There was a re-tread of a story vs a villain that I thought was killed quite a few books back, though nothing came to a head in this book, which ends quite abruptly. The story might have been 3 stars, but the editing was just awful. I hope for improvement in the next book as I really like these people.

Something is missing
Well something certainly was missing and it was the damned book!
I couldn’t believe that it has 4 years since the last book had been delivered and I was very happy to see this is my que. I love the series and it was like talking to old friends as the story went along. I was also very happy not to see the obligatory gun fight in a book with this stories history, so we were able to just reconnect and have fun, I’m sure there will be plenty of gun fights soon enough.
Great great great work in this book!!! The story flowed well and we are meeting new friends with each chapter, and to see life beginning to become a new normal is something we all can relate with, having spent the last two years dealing with the c19 nonsense.
Thank you Chris for a wonderful distraction, please don’t take so long for the next book.

I was very hesitant to purchase this book after reading other reviews. Then I decided to go for it and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't as bad as the reviews I had read. There are a few noticeable mistakes that I believe would have normally been caught by editors. Such as a sentence starting out in first person and ending in the 3rd person or vice versa. Also, Tabor was killed in a previous book but makes an appearance in this book, so maybe he had a brother or cousin we didn't know about? The author does mention the attack on the camp where he was killed so I'm wondering if I missed something previously. Overall I thought the book was entertaining and it kept my interest. The ending was a real cliff hanger and has me hoping for a book 12 soon. Overall one of the best series I've ever read.

I don't normally write reviews, but I had to for this one.
It's a very good book. I love the series as a whole and thoroughly enjoyed this one.
So why not 5 stars you ask? Well, two main reasons. It's kind of a "stepping stone" book that doesn't have a whole lot of conflict, nor resolution in it. It's just stuff. Cool stuff, but stuff.
The other reason is the author completely forgot continuity. He's brought back at least one person who has already died, and I think actually two. I would be ok with this if this were fantasy, sci fi, or superheroes, but it simply isn't. Small continuity errors are fine. Personality shifts can be written off. But bringing back dead folks is a real killer.

The long-awaited Book 11 of the beloved Survivalist Series falls short of expectations. There is no obvious editorial management of the text, almost every page is dotted with spelling, grammatical, and tense errors. Character's names vary both from the earlier books and even within this book. There are major plot holes and discrepancies. And most egregious is the abrupt ending to the book, almost like the author had a deadline to meet and just quit where he was. I suspect there will be another book to follow, but PLEASE correct the issues in this volume before proceeding.

Engineering Home
This is a good addition to the series! It has training action, surveillance of the enemy, and a hint of DOD future plans for Morgan and Sarge. We will look forward with impatience for the next book in this series! The only thing that was distracting about this book were all the errors; words missing were prevalent. We will take it with all the errors but it would be more enjoyable without them!! Thanks to the author for the hours of entertainment!

I have read all of this series and with the exception of Engineering and Exploring Home I have thoroughly enjoyed them and have reread all of them over and over. The last two were not well written. The story line seemed to drag on and on with out any climax. I was very disappointed with the last two books. Seems like the publisher is trying to draw out the story to accommodate more books. It is such a great story line I hope it continues and eventually improves.

Read all first ten...this good but....
Good but I noticed a lot more foul language. This doesn't allow me to let my grandkids read it. I also noticed a lot more women's lib BS. From Mel character that wasn't needed. If a woman needs to be told she is equal in all ways all the time she's not. They are different and compliment men..not he-women...not needed.

Fantastic continuation
When I was notified of number 11 was excited. Kept wondering if there would be more. It is mind boggling everything they have been through. Also how their community is working towards some kind of normal. Got to page 377 and was left on a cliff tide ring but not falling yet. Its a cliffhanger. Hurry with number 12.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Morgan and the family is back and getting larger! I felt as though i was at a family reunion. It was so good to be back with the gang. Book 11 ended too soon and too abruptly!
I'm ready for the next publication and I'm waiting impatiently.
Thank you!

Survive and rebuild
Glad the story moves from immediate survival towards sustainable operations and rebuilding. Some parts are interesting in that I do not think current Troops have any knowledge of field expedient antenna. SF communication sergeant aside, I don't think that has been widely taught since JOTC.

Love the series , but this book needs some serious editing
I've read this series of books for years and it is one of my favourite dystopian series, but someone needs to edit it properly. It brings back two characters that were killed in earlier books, Table and Nagita. Also, a lot of misspelled words and names.
