I'm astounded to see that people have downloaded any of this thief's "work".

Shame on you KDP

As I just saw, he's taken the cover off published works and put his cover with his name on them.

Nothing as far as I can see. He appears to have ripped off well known works and published them under his own name.

Have a look at the titles, and look ninside "A Stranger in a Strange Land" That was by heinlein originally.

Rendezvous with Zama? Rendezvous with Rama, more like, and that's by Arthur C Clarke.

How soon before we see Footsteps, or A Selfish Act or Death in Spogg's Wood?

If anyone is wondering if I've gone nuts, Amazon seem to have removed the books.

RE: Outrageous plagiarism

I wonder if this is an argument for charging a small amount of money to 'post' to KDP? Perhaps even a $10 charge would probably have prevented this? (On the other hand... arguably it HAS been prevented, if it was removed so quickly?)
