Price too high. Five dollars tops. Plus, the book is eight years old.

The price for Beggars in Spain is astonishingly good!! But where are the other two books in the trio?!

And come to think of it, is this the full novel of Beggars in Spain or the novella?! Dammit, probably the original novella. I knew there was a catch!!

How screwy is all this?!!?

Why does Diesel have two more titles?

Why do the others only have Books 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the Thorne series?! Where’s Books 1 and 2, dammit?! Do any of these ebookstores even notice this?! Why don’t they demand complete series?

And why is the price of Buried out of whack at three of the stores?
