The expression expects the filename to start with Author and end with Title (possibly followed by garbage in parentheses). It also optionally matches series, and series index in the middle. It requires the title to end in an alpha-numeric character, and it does not allow the title to contain any kinds of parentheses (anything following a parenthesis will be discarded)
It matches the following examples filenames
Author Harris - Kingdom come
Author Harris - Kingdom come (v1.0)
Author Harris - Kingdom series - The Very Magical Kingdom (v1.0)
Author Harris - Kingdom series 14.5 - The Very Magical Kingdom (v1.0)

Author Harris - [Kingdom series 14.5] [another useless string]- The Very Magical Kingdom (v1.0)
