Note that if you are in the UK, that link will not work. (For me, exactly what happens depends on what browser I’m using, but a typical experience is that it displays the bundle you intended, and then after about a second it switches to displaying a grid showing all their products, and then after about 1⁄3 of a second those all disappear, leaving me on a shopping page where I cannot in fact either view or buy anything.)
The reason, looking at their blog, appears to be that their response to the extra bureaucracy they face post-Brexit is to give up on selling to the UK, so they just filter out their entire product range if they detect that you’re in the UK. (You’d have thought it would be easy for them to put up a little notice saying why, so it doesn’t look like a bug, but no matter.)
The intended workaround for people in the UK is a thing that points you at places where you can buy their books (presumably at higher prices and with DRM) from Amazon etc., but that is currently unavailable and “will become available during the week of January 18-22, 2021”. I suppose it’s appropriate for SF&F authors to sell their books only to people capable of time travel.
Seconding Eliezer’s recommendation for the Young Wizards series; I’d call them the most important fiction I’ve read.
And cheap ebooks are available direct from the author, eg https://ebooks.direct/products/the-i-want-everything-youve-got-package (and the Tale of the Five series is probably also of interest to anyone who can spell “polycule”).
