By request of the Monster Hunter Nation, this is a collection of all of the book bombs from the past. The book bomb-ee still gets more exposure and GETS PAID, while you get to read some awesome writing. Win/win!
by Michaelbrent Collings
In 2015 as part of the Sad Puppies 3 campaign, we provided links to the works we felt were worthy so people could judge for themselves. These mini-bombs made the authors a bunch of money and got them more exposure than winning a Hugo would. So see for your self the works that the SJWs found unworthy of even considering.
This is one of those weird little catch all categories that is often dominated by some really cliquish nonsense. We’ve got some big brain essays, hard science, philosophy, military strategy, and of course Mad Mike.

Edit: I accidentally put up the wrong book for Jason Cordova at first. The publisher actually put this one on sale for today’s Book Bomb.
Best Novelette
by Michael F. Flynn
(Analog magazine, June 2014)
Mike doesn’t actually have this novelette available for sale, but he did recommend the following item:
by Rajnar Vajra
(Analog magazine, July/Aug 2014)
Rajnar came up blank. He literally has nothing original for sale. This is an unfortunate habit with some of the Analog authors who don’t publish much outside of Analog.
by Edward M. Lerner
(Analog magazine, Sept 2014)
The specific story is not for sale, but Ed says we can go with this one:
by Gray Rinehart
(Orson Scott Card’s InterGalactic Medicine Show)
(Requires a subscription, which costs $15/yr)
Since Gray doesn’t have a novel or other fiction available online, you can support him by checking out his album at:

First up, John C. Wright, who I think is one of the greatest wordsmiths alive. The man is brilliant.

Our next recommendation is Tom Kratman, who makes me look like a big softie. He’s also a bad ass writer, and I think this is one of the best things he’s ever done.

On our third Sad Puppies novella nominee we ran into an issue. Our nominated story by Arlan Andrews was originally published in a magazine that we couldn’t sell on Amazon. Brad contacted the author, and he was kind enough to say that he would be willing to email a free copy to anybody who asked him for it.
If you would like a free copy of the Sad Puppies recommended story, send a message to arlan@thingsto.com and he will give it to you.
However nice that is of him, that does not make the author GET PAID, so here is something that he does have available for sale on Amazon that you can try out in addition to the free one.
I work for Barnes & Noble in Bountiful, Utah. I am interested in talking with you about doing an author event in our store. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet with you.
Thanks

Invisible Wars Collected Dead 6 major misprint. Not sure if you knew about this. Bought a legit copy, and at page 400, it goes back to page 369, reprints all the way back up to page 400, then jumps to page 433 skipping everything from 401-432. It shows first Baen printing as October 2019. Kinda sucks, especially since it cuts out the end of the battle in Nevada. Sorry if this isn’t the best place, but didn’t know where else to post.
That’s a paper error from the printer. It happens sometimes. The place you bought it from should give you a replacement if you tell them.
please please more Grimmoir society!! any time period once the Magic found us will do 🙂
He’s working on a new trilogy and has published a pair of short stories as prequels to it.
Mr. Correia,
Do you think it possible to do an MHI story with Santa cClause for next year?
Hey trying to get Paper Backs!!!!
Monster Hunter International seems to be largely out of print in paperback! Need!!!!
Our prisons only take paperbacks
Especially
For example Vendetta! Gone !!
WHY??
This is not something Larry controls.
I’m in the same boat trying to find paperback of Vendetta as well!! I did find it but it was $50!!!! I don’t have that kind of money and the first book was really good!
Mister Correia,
This is a great database. Do you (or the readers here!) know of anything similar for new authors who don’t adhere to the SJW nonsense and are having issues getting their foot in the door, or Indie authors trying to find decent marketing channels? (Like a Non-Woke Certified library/promotional site?). Thanks!
P.S. Enjoying the work!
