cosmere-books
Scripts to generate books from the Cosmere using various public sources. Currently supports the following books:
- Oathbringer (Serialized till Chapter 32)
- Way of Kings Reread
- Words of Radiance Reread
- Edgedancer Reread
- Way of Kings Prime
- Oathbringer Reread (Ongoing)
- Skyward (Serialized till Chapter 15)
- Defending Elysium
For obvious reasons, the converted ebooks are not part of this repo. You must download and run the script on your own machine to generate the copies.
The code for this is mostly adapted from hoshruba.
You can download sample files (Lorem Ipsum) from http://ge.tt/8R61oXm2 to see a sample of how the generated files look.
Oathbringer
Tor.com is publishing Oathbringer in serialized form till Chapter 32. This script downloads all of these posts and converts them into a publishable format, including epub, mobi, pdf and html. You can find the tor.com announcement at https://www.tor.com/2017/08/15/brandon-sanderson-oathbringer-serialization-announcement/.
The script figures out all the chapter URLs, so I just run it every Tuesday now (it doesn't need updates).
Way of Kings Reread
Join Michael Pye (aka The Mad Hatter) and Carl Engle-Laird as they dive into the details of Sanderson’s complex new world of Roshar.

Words of Radiance Reread
Welcome to the reread of Brandon Sanderson’s second Stormlight Archive series book Words of Radiance! This reread will be a collaborative effort between Tor.com’s own editorial assistant Carl Engle-Laird and long-time Tor.com commenter and Sanderson beta-reader Alice Arneson. This new partnership promises to be as potent as that between spren and Radiant. Join them in the Storm Cellar as they evaluate, discuss, question, and generally kibitz their way through the Words of Radiance.

Edgedancer Reread
Join Alice Arneson and Lyndsey Luther for a reread of Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere novella, Edgedancer, which fills in some of the details for Lift and Nalan between their appearances in Words of Radiance and the next time we see them in Oathbringer.

Way of Kings: Prime
For it(Altered Perceptions anthology), I’m letting people see—for the first time—a large chunk of the original version of The Way of Kings, which I wrote in 2002–2003. This version is very different, and involves a different course in life for Kaladin as a character—all due to a simple decision he makes one way in this book, but a completely different way in the published novel.
These chapters are quite fun, as I consider what happened in The Way of Kings Prime (as I now call it) to be an "alternate reality" version of the events in the published books. The characters are almost all exactly the same people, but their backstories are different, and that has transformed who they are and how they react to the world around them. Roshar is similar, yet wildly different, as this was before I brought in the spren as a major world element.

Oathbringer Reread (Ongoing)

Defending Elysium
This story originally appeared in the October/November 2008 Asimov’s Science Fiction (in the US) and the UPC Science Fiction collection (in Europe). It was winner of the UPC science fiction award, and was the last short story Brandon wrote before he sold Elantris to Tor.
The story was first named honorable mention in a Writers of the Future contest in early 2003. (Brandon got the phone call from an editor buying Elantris in April 2003.) A few years later, he did a couple of serious revisions of the story and then submitted it to the UPC award in Spain. It won first place, and subsequently sold in the US to Asimov’s Science Fiction—which was Brandon’s first (and so far only) fiction appearance in a major print magazine. It was given an honorable mention in Gardner Dozois’s The Year’s Best Science Fiction anthology for 2008.

Requirements
Docker installed.
Generation
If you have docker
setup, run the following command inside an empty directory. This will download
all the books from scratch and copy the final books into it.
docker run --rm --volume "$(pwd):/output" captn3m0/cosmere-books:latest [bookname]
The last is an optional bookname, which can be one of the following:
edgedancer-reread
oathbringer
oathbringer-reread
skyward
wok-prime
wok-reread
wor-reread
If none is passed, all books will be generated. The entire build (for all books combined) roughly takes 15 minutes on a single core system (excluding the Docker pull).
