One of the problems with fantasticfiction as a metadata source is their search engine. They don't have a very extensive ISBN database, which means that a search by ISBN will almost always fail.

So that means you would always search by title/author. Which is a bit more hit and miss in terms of getting results.

However I am a big fan of this website, it is always my "goto website" for authors that is at the top of my list for the Search the Internet plugin. So it might be worth a punt to see how well it might be able to work. I will add it to my list to look into...
