Hence 'Title - Series - Author' becomes 'Author - Series - Title') and it fills the Series box with 'Prey 1' and the Book number stays at 1.00.
This regex works for this title. Just place it in Preferences - Adding books.

Code:
^((?P<author>([^\-_0-9]+)(?=\s*-\s*)(?!\s*-\s*[0-9.]+)|\b))(\s*-\s*)?((?P<series>[^0-9\-]+)(\s*-\s*)?(?P<series_index>[0-9.]+)\s*-\s*)?(?P<title>[^\-_0-9]+)
