The Shocks of Adversity by William Leisner is in very poor shape. It needs some major fixing up.

The first thing, it's listed with the wrong book. So the reviews are wrong. Also, the description is for a different book.

The correct description is...

Located far beyond the boundaries of explored space, the Goeg Domain is a political union of dozens of planets and races. When the U.S.S. Enterprise arrives in its territory to investigate an interstellar phenomenon, Commander Laspas of the Domain Defense Corps is at first guarded, then fascinated to discover the existence of an alliance of worlds much like his own, and finds a kindred spirit in Captain James T. Kirk. And when the Enterprise is attacked by the Domain’s enemies, crippling the starship’s warp capability and leaving its crew facing the prospect of a slow, months-long journey home, the Goeg leader volunteers the help of his own ship, offering to combine the resources of both vessels to bring the Enterprise to a nearby Domain facility to make the necessary repairs.

But what at first seems to be an act of peace and friendship soon turns out to be a devil’s bargain, as Kirk and the Enterprise crew learn that there are perhaps more differences than similarities between the Federation and the Domain. When the Goeg’s adversaries strike again, the Enterprise is drawn deeper and inexorably into the conflict, and Kirk begins to realize that they may have allied themselves with the wrong side....


The correct series is Star Trek: The Original Series. Please set the series so it displays the series in the book list.

The correct publish date is May 28, 2013.

The correct number of pages is 189.

All listings for The Shocks of Adversity needs to be moved into their own listing and all the reviews and ratings for just this book need to go along with them.

Thanks.

Deon (deonva) | 3718 comments ebook or paperback is 189 pages?

Deon (deonva) | 3718 comments reviews are linking to specific books, if someone reviewed the wrong book, nothing can be done.

if they review they book they want it will show correctly (it may take a day or so for the cache to catch up though)


JSWolf | 649 comments The eBook is 189 pages.

The series is still a problem. IN the book listing, it is not showing (Star Trek: The Original Series) and when I go into the book's listing, the series is not clickable.

The 384 pages is for the pBook that this was incorrectly combined with.

Thanks.

paperback and ebook are only ones combined now


JSWolf | 649 comments Thank you. The only think left to be fixed is the title as it's displayed in the book list. It should show...

The The Shocks of Adversity (Star Trek: The Original Series)

but it only shows...

The Shocks of Adversity

Carolyn (seeford) | 573 comments What page are you looking at? (link please)

I changed them both earlier to reflect the series designation. When I look, I'm seeing it on each page.

Deon (deonva) | 3718 comments i see on your bookself that is doesn't show the series name
but it is there, it may take the cache a bit to update


JSWolf | 649 comments It's still not showing the series in the bookshelf and it's been over 24 hours.

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments I looked into this a little more and made a few temporary changes to see if I couldn't figure it out.

It appears that in order for the series to show, there has to be a number included in the series in the title.

I can confirm that the title on the book is entered as The Shocks of Adversity (Star Trek: The Original Series), but it seems like the title would need to be The Shocks of Adversity (Star Trek: The Original Series, #N) for it to show properly in the booklist.

Unless there is a number we can associate with the book (which I can't find anywhere, though I'll admit I haven't looked overly hard) it looks like this is something you'll have to take up with Feedback.

Thank you for trying to fix this issue. There is no number associated with the series name.

Shall you be the one to bring this up with feedback or shall I do it?
