Those are some pretty old soldiers in the picture.
I’m only partly kidding. I do play from time to time, but not as much as I thought I would, hence the “regret”. Nostalgia is a powerful drug.

If you like this type of science fiction, could I interest you in The Space Merchants and Gladiator At Law by Frederik Pohl and CM Kornbluth? More prescient and much more biting, in my opinion. Also much earlier, having been written in the 1950s.
Will stock up for next time. Thanks for the idea!
Wow, that’s a Dostoyevskyian level story right there.
The first Don Quixote book was so popular it spawned a lot of fake sequels. Cervantes killed off Don Quixote in the second book to preclude any more copycats. That’s what I remember anyhow from the preface of a paperback edition from way back.

Ah, like the Cone of Silence from “Get Smart!”
One of the noblest and saddest characters in one of the most cruel stories ever written.

I don’t know if this will fully meet your requirements, but my combination, which I’m happy with, is Moon Reader Pro on my Android devices and Ubooquity on my server.
Moon Reader has a Sync to WebDAV option but I haven’t needed to use it. If you’re not inclined to pay for an ebook reader software, there is also Librera which is free.
