Amazon's AI translation
I have two shorter books, publsihed only last year (2025)
Now, as a trial run, I let Amazon translate them from German into English.
(Please note, ALL other ooks have been translated by humans.)
As a rule, I'm not exclusively with Amazon, but since I'm not allowed to use these translations elsewhere anyway, I put these two books into KU.
Like I said: It's a test.
I hope, you enjoy these books. Let me know, what you think.
Here we go:
Fireships
The king had his father executed.
Now he fights the king's war...
because he wants to avenge his father.
1642: The Franco-Spanish War: The Catalan revolt against the Spanish crown could give France a decisive advantage in the Mediterranean—if they can keep the Spanish fleet away from the coast.
Young Alexandre Poincarré recruits three fishermen on Majorca. Their knowledge of the coast and winds could tip the scales in the naval battle off Barcelona.
As burning fireships light up the night and cannon fire thunders across the waves, Alexandre fights in
the name of the very king who had his father executed.
The outcome of the battle will decide not only this war, but also Alexandre's path of vengeance for his father.
A historical tale of naval battles in an age of upheaval.
Join Alexandre with his Fireships through a World in Flames.
