Peter the Great’s Engineer #2 is Out!
New Release: Peter the Great’s Engineer #2 by Victor Grosov
The story of one engineer’s battle against history continues in Peter the Great’s Engineer #2, the latest installment in Victor Grosov’s gripping Historical Portal Progression Fantasy series.
After finding himself trapped in the body of an apprentice living in the Russia of Peter the Great, a modern engineer quickly discovered that knowledge alone is not enough to change the world. In the first book, survival was the challenge. In the second, the stakes grow far larger.
Building a single successful invention is one thing. Creating a system capable of producing, maintaining, and improving that invention is something else entirely. Faced with poor materials, primitive manufacturing, endless bureaucracy, and people convinced that "good enough" is good enough, the protagonist learns that technology is often easier to reshape than society itself.
Victor Grosov delivers a refreshingly grounded take on progression fantasy. There are no miracle shortcuts here, no effortless leaps from textbook knowledge to industrial revolution. Every advance comes at a cost, and every step toward the future meets resistance from the realities of the past.
As Russia races through Peter the Great’s era of transformation, the pressure on our hero continues to mount. His successes have attracted attention, and now powerful people expect results. Fast. The empire wants progress, the war machine demands innovation, and failure is becoming increasingly expensive.
Combining meticulous historical detail, engineering ingenuity, and a realistic approach to technological advancement, Peter the Great’s Engineer #2 is an engrossing continuation of a series where every breakthrough must be earned.
The future may be in his hands—but the past is not giving up without a fight.
Peter the Great’s Engineer #2 is now available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited.
