German version of the book. Trivia ?

Odd thing... I just discovered that these books are translated/published in the German language as e-books (Nook) but under the series title "Nimue Alban" rather than "Safehold". I also noticed that each book is split in half resulting in two volumes of German for each English Volume. Finally I noticed that the German e-version costs $12US for one "half" of the original book whereas the English hardbound version costs about $9 for "whole" book, printed on paper and hardbound (the English e-book costs about $7). These prices exclude the most recent volume which is about $21. SOURCE: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/?series_id=581645

There is no Safehold page at DE.WP but a text search for "Nimue Alban" finds German language Wikipedia which shows this list:

Safehold (Nimue Alban)

    Vol. 1: Off Armageddon Reef
        Band 1: Operation Arche
        Band 2: Der Krieg der Ketzer
    Vol. 2: By Schism Rent Asunder
        Band 3: Codename: Merlin
        Band 4: Die Flotte von Charis
    Vol. 3: By Heresies Distressed
        Band 5: Die Invasion
        Band 6: Cayleb's Plan
    Vol. 4: A Mighty Fortress
        Band 7: Die Eiserne Festung
        Band 8: Haus der Lügen
    Vol. 5: How Firm a Foundation
        Band 9: Die Übermacht
        Band 10: Der Verrat
    Vol. 6: Midst Toil and Tribulation
        Band 11: Kampf um die Siddarmark
        Band 12: Der Kriegermönch
    Vol. 7: Like a Mighty Army
        Band 13: Die Streitmacht
        Band 14: Mit Dampf und Donner

All seems very odd to me that a translation costs more than 300% the price of the original (as an ebook) but I have no idea how the world of translating published books works. 104.32.201.0 (talk) 16:12, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, publishers around the world charge what they charge. They do this in Japan, too. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:39, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is probably a good idea to mention the translation of this series on the Safehold article. Debresser (talk) 22:14, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

books in germany are generally just expensive. Nothing special here 2003:DA:A71B:500:481A:47DF:DD14:A816 (talk) 15:52, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

bogus warning

The now-blocked Dr. Jamir Harber left me an absurd warning accusing me of vandalism—for an edit that corrected a couple punctuation errors and one usage error. I presume this account is merely a troll (or perhaps a legitimate account that was hacked), but if anyone sees reason not to restore these simple edits, please say so. 2605:A601:A0A4:2700:7125:9EEF:72D5:8A5D (talk) 18:51, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

www.davidweber.net hijacked

It appears that the website of mr Davd Weber has been hijacked. A few days ago I discovered that when I try to go to this website, I end up at an Indonesian website with the headline SPBUTOTO. This is not the David Weber wwbsite I am used to. Maybe you want to inform about this on the website. It looks like someone redirected the domain name www.davidweber.net to the IP adress 70.39.233.12, and i don't have the info about what the correct IP address should be. Sorjon02 (talk) 12:27, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. It should be removed the the site until either its restored or David set's up a new one. 173.56.226.163 (talk) 21:34, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
