It is incredibly annoying when halfway through a series the publisher decides to geographically restrict the latest installment and any subsequent.
I had to go through serious hoops to get hold of the latest and final book in the current "Lost Fleet" series by Jack Campbell.
I did not resort to the darknet, but would have happily done so if I had not been able to buy a legit copy via the pet trapdoor.
