   I see a common thing with the authors [Kratman, Correia] you     
   mention: military sci-fi / fantasy.  I wasn't particularly     
   aware of that mix.   
      
   Wrt Baen, Simon&Schuster seems to be their distributor. S&S is     
   the slowest biz to work with. As a result, I've generally     
   skipped checking their catalog.   And.. I see Kratman and     
   Correia are with Baen. No wonder they never appeared on my     
   radar.   
      
   Star Trek novels (of which I am out of since 2018) are also a     
   kind of shootem up military sci-fi ..and those too are     
   distributed by S&S. I see a correlation here!  :D
