I started reading Leo's book when I saw his books at Baen publishing. Actually I had read his first Conrad book as a pBook and had liked it but had forgotten the author, so when I started reading it again I recognized the story, then bought all the Conrad book I could in their electronic versions.

I guess there was a falling out between Leo and his publisher because he is now self publishing, which is great but Leo seems to have a very inflated sense of his writing. If your interested here is his book store, and you can get the latest installment of the Conrad series.

If you care enough to check you will see that he is selling his e-books for $9.95.

I don't even know if they are DRMed or not, but that could only make it more funny.

I had thought that the Conrad series was getting just a little silly by the end of it, especially when compared to the Grantville saga where they have this entire commitee of people who make sure that the engineering is correct (eye crossingly boring sometimes IMO, but the fiction stories I just love).
