Ran across a few good ebooks deals I thought I would go a head and pass along.

First off, Humble Bundle is offering a Scalzi bundle including the Interdependency, Old man's War, and Lock In series as well as a number of stand alone books. Would be grabbing this myself if I didn't already have them all. 19 more days to go on this offer.

I've also run across a few nice options in the quagmire of Kindle Unlimited.

The Murderbot series. Not counting book 7 which is still at the ridiculous price of $12 for a novella.

The Bobiverse series (4 books) starting with We Are Legion (We Are Bob)

Beacon 23 (for any who have been made curious by the new show)

Neil Gaiman's American Gods and Anansi Boys

Peter Watts Firefall duology starting with Blindsight (one of my all time favorite books)

Likely there is more of interest, but I got tired scrolling. :)

I saw the Scalzi bundle at Humble Bundle mentioned in another group and took a long look at it, but I have all the Old Man’s War series and 2 out of 3 of the Interdependency series, so I’m inclined to pass.

Don’t have Kindle Unlimited.

Thanks for the heads up, Random!

I do this often enough I thought I should just do a running thread.

Humble Bundle is doing a big Cory Doctorow bundle.
18 books (mixture of novels and short stories) for $18

The selected charity if the EFF or Electronic Frontier Foundation. This is a non profit organization which fights for digital privacy, free speech, and similar.

Since this is TOR books, its a direct download and the books have no DRM.

Good to know, thanks!

A couple more

Humble bundle has a Jeff Vandermeer bundle for any interested.
I already own all but 4 of the books plus a short story. But its $40 to buy those off Amazon, so I may as well go a head and do it.
These are direct epub downloads.

There's also a Terry Brooks Shannara bundle that contains a decent chunk of the various sub series.
Shannara
Heritage of Shannara
Word and Void
Genesis of Shannara
Legends of Shannara
These are through Kobo.

Kindle Giveaway 9/1-5/24, and Reviewers Wanted for Hard SciFi: "Cadatas' Exploration of the Milky Way"

My newly released hard science fiction novel (or a philosophical science book coated in fiction) will have a free Kindle Giveaway between 9/1-5/2024. Reviews from those participating in this giveaway, or those requesting a review copy from seeing this post on GoodReads are warmly invited. Email me, Anna Faktorovich, at director@anaphoraliterary.com for a copy in PDF (best), Kindle or epub. It is on sale now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1681146118

The History of Cadatas’ Exploration of the Milky Way: (Softcover: $30, 392pp, 7X10”: 978-1-68114-611-9; Hardcover: $35: 978-1-68114-612-6; Kindle: $9.99; Science Fiction & Fantasy—Science Fiction—Hard Science Fiction; September 1, 2024): At the peak of cadatas’ technological development, their business leaders attempt diverting an asteroid to mine its resources. A miscalculated maneuver misses the mine, and instead strikes their home world. With Cadata in ruins, a spaceship with three hundred explorers begins what would become a 100,000-year journey across the Milky Way, searching for a habitable world to relocate their perishing population. Cadata scientists gene-edit pilots to match the dominant species on each planet. Even with a 5,000-year lifespan, it takes them twenty-three generations to reach Earth. Chief pilots, Wocega and Ortack, and their descendants, face thrilling and terrifying challenges. Their bodies’ chemistry covers the spectrum of the periodic table, and their consistency alters from alcohol, to clouds, to metal. They are bombarded by diamond rain. They are enveloped in the sunless darkness of a roaming planet. They are compressed by pressures of extreme gravity, and dense atmospheres. Can even the most adaptable species endure a search for a new planet? This is the first captivating history of cadatas’ explorations from one of their expert historians, Ortack-23. Assisted by first ever translations of authoritative first-person archival accounts of cadata explorers, this history traces the geology of Cadata from the formation of this planet, through the events that led to its downfall, with a record of discoveries about alien habitats, and to their present attempts to become legal refugees on Earth. This is a one-of-a-kind theoretical and scientific defense of the presence of aliens on Earth, and of the scientific breakthroughs they achieved to reach us. It is accompanied with a bibliography of sources, an index, a galactic map of the journey, and a chronology of events. As humanity commences on its quest for life elsewhere in the universe, this encyclopedic study explains varieties of atmospheric conditions, and biological organisms as alien to Earth as Earth is to them.

So, for those who have heard me talk about the Yurt books and shown interest

I've mentioned that the author has had A Bad Spell in Yurt available for free on her website.

Well the entire series is currently available on Kindle Unlimited.

For those who haven't heard me talk about it, A Bad Spell in Yurt was a book I ran across back in the 90s when everything seemed to be nothing but massive epic series. It was easy to read and light and became a serious comfort read for me. I literally read multiple editions to pieces (though likely to be blamed on poor quality binding as much as how often it was read).

Also, can't remember if I mentioned this before, but the first three books of the Locked Tomb series (starts with Gideon the Ninth) is also available on Kindle Unlimited.

Nice Ursula K. Le Guin collection available through Humble Bundle.
