Agent of the Terran Empire

I know the title is slightly different but generally calibre can pick up on much bigger differences than that.

Any idea of the issue?

Works for me

Also, apparently some of the titles that refused to find data work just fine when when searched for one at a time instead of when I searched using all the titles by a specific author. I have no idea why, they still don't work when searched all at once.

Damn, I don't know what's up with it then. Thanks for checking.

amazon typically blocks you if you make too many requests at once (though their definition of too many is obscure).
