Hey, I said, I was lazy ... my Series listing is just for my benefit. There are a lot of Jack Ryan books ... but obviously (to me anyway) Jack Ryan [7891011] is an omnibus, containing 5 books, starting from book 7.

Way to much work to give it more thought or effort. My only goal is to read the books in order ...
If you name it [7.11] ( I chose.11 to tell me the end. Calibre does not accept more than 4 decimals)
it will properly place itself after 6 and before 8 (Yes, i have back filled missing books with an omnibus that bridges the single book title)
