Oh, I could think of a few other alternate histories that are worse. Try The Man in the High Castle. Allies lose WW2, USA annexed and split by Nazis and Japan. Holocaust and purges of Jews and minorities continued and Hitler living to a ripe old age.
Amazon also made a pretty good miniseries based off the book as well.

I presume you are already aware of the series Love, Death & Robots on Netflix? It was originally intended as a sequel to the Heavy Metal movie. Unlike most anthology shows, most of the episodes are adapted, with good fidelity, from preexisting short stories. Someone finally started exploring the miles of bookshelves of science fiction and fantasy for stories worthy of adaptations.
The first season of LD+R even has an official e-book anthology comprising every story they adapted for the show.
Just discovered this series and absolutely love it. Two books are out on Amazon with the third coming in April. The third book and the start of the fourth are also available on Royal Road.
It's a mix between Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Hunger Games/Battle Royale type dystopian novels with litRPG mechanics. Quick read, very funny and the writing and editing is solid.
It's available on Amazon Kindle which you can read on a smart phone or even your computer.
Every book has mixed reviews, especially once it hits "best seller" status and has a wide variety of people reading it, all with different tastes. Can you point to a single book that doesn't have some negative reviews? You will get mixed reviews here, too, since people here have varied tastes.
You can get free samples for nearly every book ever on Amazon. Here's the page for Strange & Norrell, which has both ebook samples and audiobook samples, so you can pick whichever you prefer.

>Side note: Also, speaking of PFH, have you read Salvation?
It’s on my TBR pile. I hadn’t actually read any Alastair Reynolds or Peter F. Hamilton (but I had at least heard of them, unlike certain parties) prior to LD+R. My first exposure to those two authors were the anthologies containing their short stories that had been adapted in LD+R. I have read both of those anthologies plus Reynolds’ Pushing Ice.
BTW, the 16 stories adapted for the first season of LD+R (and 2 scripts) have been collected in a show-specific anthology.
The german book prices of game of thrones.
It is absolute ridiculous. Via the german Amazon you can order the english box set with all books for around 26€.
All translated books will cost you around 120€.
I think you want /r/TrekBooks
The only Trek book that I've read and enjoyed enough to remember anything about it is A Stitch in Time by Andrew Robinson, fleshing out his DS9 character, Garak.
That's like Jonathan Strange and Mr. Morrell, a huge, immersive fantasy novel filled with footnotes.
there's a book too of the episode intended to be after tonight's https://twitter.com/SethMacFarlane/status/1542326252010237953?s=20&t=hULo3L-ZJPPdo\_tH0h7FYg https://www.amazon.com/Orville-Sympathy-Devil-Seth-MacFarlane-ebook/dp/B09Z76NZRH or other retaillers
it's available on Amazon.co.uk
It’s an e-book and audio book only. No shipping needed!
If you have a Mac, check Apple Books and someone else posted the Amazon UK link.
It's not exactly what you're looking for (not rational enough), but I quite like Dungeon Crawler Carl. (First couple books are now on Amazon, current book is on RR / Patreon)
An alien appears and advises you that in one week every structure on the planet, from chicken coop to Taj Mahal, is going to be sucked down into the ground. Everyone and everything in those structures will be destroyed...except not quite. They will be placed in storage, and if some human can fight their way through 18 levels of monster-infested dungeon then they will gain control of Earth and can put everything and everyone back the way it was. If no one can do it then the Earth will be strip mined and all the stored people and things will be reclaimed by the aliens.
You are a YouTuber with a platform of 200,000 and you rise to the challenge. What will you bring with you? Who will you invite to come along? The choice is up to you and all of the other readers who choose to vote.
This is a quest written by yours truly and set in the universe of Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl. As of this posting we are 6 chapters in so the initial decisions have been made but there's still a lot to do if you want to recover the Earth! Drop by and join in the fun.
Some more info:
IIRC Tom told me it was planned to be filmed in multiple countries. Unfortunately, as the previous commenter noted, plans for filming had to be cancelled.
IIRC Tom and Seth both have said something about the remote possibility that perhaps the script could potentially be filmed someday (if the show continues)? — AFAIK there aren't any current plans for such filming; it's only a vague just-maybe-perhaps future possibility.
Anyway, yeah, Seth decided to novelize the script, and it is expected to be released July 19th. – In the U.S., Barnes & Noble has it listed as a Nook e-book and as an audiobook. (Note: The audiobook is narrated by Bruce Boxleitner, who guest-starred in last week's episode.) – Amazon lists a Kindle e-book, but is not yet listing the audiobook (I hope they may add it later)?
> B&N
Clarification: The book will also be found from other sellers.
(I mentioned B&N just because it happens to be the seller listed via the Disney Books page that Seth tweeted about.)
Currently Amazon also lists it, but (at the time of this comment) ebook only, not yet the audio version.
I've recently discovered that there are anthology collections available on Amazon that include all the LDR short stories:
Seasons 2 and 3 (one book)
for your first question id say it a combination of both Rudeus being stronger than expected and luck being weaker than expected. as far as i can remember i don't recall the book showing any example of luck being strong, I too just thought that since hes a bodyguard to the princess. but in Rudeus case hes had experience fighting and training with quite a number of noteworthy people. also ever since he separated with eris hes being training physically every day.

as for the LN i believe the next one comes out February and the following one on may. i got this information on amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083BZSQ85?searchxofy=true&binding=kindle_edition&ref_=dbs_s_aps_series_rwt_tkin&qid=1643254066&sr=8-1
Love, Death + Robots: The Official Anthology
They collected all of the stories they adapted into a single volume.

It’s for the US version - maybe your settings are converting it.
The link is here:
Which is why, in "galactic reality-show" type games like <u>Dungeon Crawler Carl</u> or <u>They Called Me MAD!</u>, it's always shown that the human population VERY quickly goes from 7.5 billion to around 1-2 billion. Literally 80% of humanity dead in a week.
Amazon has an ebook version for nine dollars USD, or a paperback for $105. I'll let you decide which of those you want:

If neither option appeals to you, hopefully that'll get you started on your search.
Thanks, j-howell and endurio! I found that KFX can be transferred to the device using USB cable. Although the option for bold text is there then, the cover art wasn't showing up, and by using this method, again by jhowell on mobileread forums, I managed to get the cover art:
" For now, if you want your KFX book to have a cover thumbnail on an e-ink kindle then you should set the "amazon" identifier of the book in calibre to the 10-character ASIN of an equivalent book sold by Amazon (if such exists.) Here are instructions for doing this:
Search amazon.com with a web browser for an Amazon equivalent of the book you are converting and bring up its page. The web browser address bar will have something like "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MZN2B2/...". The ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) for the book is the 10-character string that begins with a "B".
In calibre select your book, choose "Edit Metadata", and in the "Ids:" field add "amazon:B005MZN2B2" (without the quotes and using the ASIN you discovered). If there is something already in the "Ids:" field then separate the new information with a comma.
Convert the book to KFX and sideload it to your kindle device. It should show the cover thumbnail of the book you found previously on Amazon."
Thanks, both! : )
I think man in the high castle is about that, and it's "free" on kindle unlimited. Or at least it was a couple of weeks ago.
Edit: Just checked. Yep, still free. Also includes the audiobook with the kindle "purchase".
