We primarily listen to audiobooks while working but i think he would be thrilled even with a print only book if it really scratched the "Grow a faction in the form of a dark cult" itch
A while back we were on a binge of different series and found New Era Online. While the first 3 books were solid the second half felt like the author was rushing to wrap it up to move on after burning out/ getting a better idea.
One part he really was bummed got completely dropped was the cult of nihilator stuff. It was a very background thing and got lampshaded constantly but left him wanting a real culty book where the MC is starting and growing a dark/evil cult. Relistening to HWFWM and hearing about the builder cult again has him itching at a scratch he cant quite satisfy with our library and i would love to get him a couple books to hopefully fill that narrative hole hes been feeling.
its worth noting that stories like Kaiju Battlefield Surgeon aren't "too much" for him so don't be afraid to make some recommendations that get DARK.
