A few editions of the upcoming short story/novella Black Vault by Alma Katsu have some cleanup that needs to be done. Posting it in here because it's probably too small of a project for the Projects folder.

Kindle Edition: Black Vault: A Short Story (ASIN B0BWFRQMH2)

- "A Short Story" shouldn't be part of the title and needs to be removed.

- The description is missing formatting and paragraph breaks. It should read as follows:
From the acclaimed author of Red London and Red Widow comes a heart-pounding thriller about a dispirited spy who gets a chance to find the truth as he tackles the mystery of unexplained aerial phenomena.

When CIA officer Craig Norton glimpses an unexplainable object in the sky over Mongolia, he can’t quite believe it. Frankly, he isn’t sure Langley will either. Despite his misgivings, Craig reports the sighting in a cable to headquarters detailing the incident.

Fast-forward fifteen years. Craig is still reeling from the report that tanked his career and his personal life. That fleeting moment on the Mongolian steppe made him a pariah at the Agency, and he still hasn’t recovered. At this point, he doubts he ever will.

But when the navy confirms on national television reports of unexplained aerial phenomena, Craig finds himself pulled back into the fold. Assigned to a CIA task force investigating sightings of unexplained aerial phenomena—including his own—Craig stumbles upon a mystery that could strain global relations and expose an international cover-up.

For a spy humbled by his own instincts, the search for the truth could finally mean a chance at redemption—or place him directly in the path of a dangerous conspiracy.


Unknown Edition: Black Vault (ASIN B0C1NGBFGZ)

I can't find any proof of this edition existing. It's not the ASIN of the Audible edition, googling the ASIN gives me nothing, and I've searched it on multiple international Amazon sites and haven't found any results. I'm not sure if this edition needs to be marked invalid or not, but as far as I can tell, this edition does not exist.

If it does end up staying on the site, the description has the same issues as the previously discussed edition and should be corrected to match it.


Thanks to anyone who can help with this.

It's been two days, so I'm bumping the thread.

Done. Might take a while for the book page to update.

The other edition was added by a bot, which means that it was in the Amazon system at some point. Its change log is kind of odd, and I'm not convinced that it was ever an existing edition either, but we generally treat cases like this as valid because there's no way to prove otherwise. (If you like, you can message Support and tell them that per the change log it was originally assigned to Test author and it's not clear if it's valid. Not sure they'll be able to tell you either.)
