Like most people (apparently), I haven't read 1945... The sequel to 1945 was never written. Apparently, Baen was expecting it to be a huge hit so he spent big bucks on it and lost a bundle on it.
If I didn't know better, I'd think you were saying that this would be an example of a book whose lack of sales have caused future books not to be written.

But of course surely that isn't so. Because buying the book in the new release window doesn't matter at all and in no way incentivizes the creation of future books.
