I do have several examples of books in my library with a single author on the cover, even though they are collaborations. Some of the books state this explicitly in the acknowledgements, but some might merely give "thanks" to the collaborator. |

A number of series I was reading had the last books finished by someone (not on cover), when the Author became too ill (or dead).

And then there are not authors continuing a series when the author has passed on. Hercule Piorot, Spencer, Jason Bounre, and Jack Ryan are some series that come to mind. Last edited by JSWolf; 07-29-2024 at 01:50 PM. |

Last month I read the new release "Eruption" by Michael Crichton & James Patterson.
It was nothing like a Michael Crichton book. It was shallow, unbelievable, and it read more like one of Matthew Reilly's childrens books. For me it was a waste of money. I have enjoyed the James Patterson books written by Andrew Gross. He seems like quite a competent writer. |

The the program you are using to read your eBook sticks in blank pages at the end of some sections. I've not had then when reading with RMSDK on my Libra 2. But I do occasionally get this from Bookfusion on iOS on my iPhone 15 Pro MAX.
