How annoying reading a series of novels when there are some of the novels missing

I wished that I could find a few novels that I can read on my Kindle Fire.
So long as they are digital,I can convert them with Calibre.

Harold Coyle Scott Dixon series
Charles D. Taylor
Craig Thomas
David E Meadows,Dark Pacific series and Charlie Class
Gordon Kent,The Spoils of War
James H. Cobb,Amanda Garrett series,Sea Fighter & Target Lock
Mack Maloney,Chopper Ops,Zero Red & Shuttle Down
Michael Dimercurio,Threat Vector,Emergency Deep & Vertical Dive.

I have 458 e-pubs but need the ones above to finish the series,all of which I have read,with exception to the listed ones............................How annoying reading a series of novels when there are some of the novels missing from the collection.

That one wasn't too hard to find: available in the UK from Amazon, Apple, Google, Kobo, etc.

I'm keeping my eye out for the Harold Coyle Scott Dixon series and James H Cobb, Amanda Garrett series as well. I've got them in hard back, but would like to buy in ebook. I've noticed some similar authors are starting to come out with their backlist in ebook, so I have hope. Part of the problem with the Amanda Garrett series is that Cobb died a couple of years ago. Odds are it may be a while before all the who owns what and if there is actually an electronic version of the books gets determined. The good news with Harold Coyle is that Team Yankee came out in ebook recently, so maybe some of his backlist is finally going to come out.

I agree about series with missing books being very annoying. It use to be a lot worse back when we were talking about paper.

I enjoy reading Dean Koontz. I've read the Odd Thomas and Frankenstein series, but I am reluctant to start reading the Moonlight Bay series since the third novel of the trilogy may never be published. If Ride the Storm is ever released I'll start reading Fear Nothing.

Really. Don't let that stop you. The books (so far...) are independent stories, with the setting and characters basically the only real commonality. Oh, one other commonality: they're both excellent stories.

Have I mentioned (today) that Koontz is my favorite living author? With the other "favorites" being MacDonald and Heinlein--both of whom were hugely influential on Koontz.

I have problems with foreign series that don't all issues translated. I stopped reading a Russian book recently when I found that I couldn't get an English version of the next volume. i won't read any more until I know the 2nd book is avail in English.

Okay, so how about this one? Robert J Sawyer first in series Far Seer free from Tor �� Second and third books don't seem to be available anywhere as ebooks, only dead tree and audio. ��

He just re-published them himself at the end of last year on kobo in the UK.

Tor has the US rights, I believe.

Thank you for the heads up on Kobo, just snagged them from the UK. As right now I'm in Thailand that got interesting for a moment, but I have them and got to use my store credit on them ��
